Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 8993

وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ حَنْطَبٍ قَالَ : خَطَبَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - بِالْجُحْفَةِ فَقَالَ : " أَلَسْتُ أَوْلَى بِكُمْ مِنْ أَنْفُسِكُمْ ؟ " قَالُوا : بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ . قَالَ : " فَإِنِّي سَائِلُكُمْ عَنِ اثْنَيْنِ : عَنِ الْقُرْآنِ وَعَنْ عِتْرَتِي . أَلَا وَلَا تَقَدَّمُوا قُرَيْشًا فَتَضِلُّوا ، وَلَا تَخَلَّفُوا عَنْهَا فَتَهْلِكُوا ، وَلَا تُعَلِّمُوهَا فَهُمْ أَعْلَمُ مِنْكُمْ . قُوَّةُ رَجُلٍ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ أَفْضَلُ مِنْ قُوَّةِ رَجُلَيْنِ مِنْ غَيْرِهِمْ . لَوْلَا أَنْ تَبْطُرَ قُرَيْشٌ لَأَخْبَرَتُهَا بِمَا لَهَا عِنْدَ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى ، خِيَارُ قُرَيْشٍ خِيَارُ النَّاسِ " .
رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ وَفِيهِ مَنْ لَمْ أَعْرِفْهُ .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Hantab (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) addressed us at al-Juhfah and said: "Do I not have more right over you than your own selves?" The people said: "Yes, O Messenger of Allah!" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Then I will ask you about two things: about the Qur'an and about my family ('itrah). Beware! Do not go ahead of Quraysh, or you will go astray; and do not lag behind them, or you will perish; and do not try to teach them, for they are more knowledgeable than you. The strength of one man of Quraysh is greater than the strength of two men of any other people. Were it not for the fear that Quraysh would become arrogant, I would tell them what rank and station they have with Allah Almighty. The best of Quraysh are the best of the people."
Al-Tabarani recorded it; its chain contains someone whom I do not know.
