عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ إِبْرَاهِيمَ التَّيْمِيِّ : أَنَّ قَتَادَةَ بْنَ النُّعْمَانِ الظَّفَرِيَّ وَقَعَ بِقُرَيْشٍ ، فَكَأَنَّهُ نَالَ مِنْهُمْ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " يَا قَتَادَةُ ، لَا تَسُبَّنَّ قُرَيْشًا ; فَإِنَّكَ لَعَلَّكَ أَنْ تَرَى مِنْهُمْ رِجَالًا تَزْدَرِي عَمَلَكَ مَعَ أَعْمَالِهِمْ ، وَفِعْلَكَ مَعَ أَفْعَالِهِمْ ، وَتَغْبِطُهُمْ إِذَا رَأَيْتَهُمْ ، لَوْلَا أَنْ تَطْغَى قُرَيْشٌ لَأَخْبَرْتُهُمْ بِالَّذِي لَهُمْ عِنْدَ اللَّهِ " . رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ مُرْسَلًا وَمُسْنَدًا ، وَأَحَالَ لَفْظَ الْمُسْنَدِ عَلَى الْمُرْسَلِ ، وَالْبَزَّارُ كَذَلِكَ ، وَالطَّبَرَانِيُّ مُسْنَدًا ، وَرِجَالُ الْبَزَّارِ فِي الْمُسْنَدِ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ ، وَرِجَالُ أَحْمَدَ فِي الْمُرْسَلِ وَالْمُسْنَدِ رِجَالُ الصَّحِيحِ غَيْرَ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَسْلَمَ فِي مُسْنَدِ أَحْمَدَ ، وَهُوَ ثِقَةٌ ، وَفِي بَعْضِ رِجَالِ الطَّبَرَانِيِّ خِلَافٌ .
Muhammad bin Ibrahim al-Taymi narrates: Sayyiduna Qatadah bin al-Nu'man al-Zafari (may Allah be pleased with him) criticised Quraysh and spoke ill of them, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
"O Qatadah! Do not revile Quraysh, for it may be that you will see men among them in comparison with whose deeds you will consider your own deeds insignificant, and in comparison with whose actions you will consider your own actions insignificant, and when you see them you will envy them. Were it not for the fear that Quraysh would become arrogant, I would have told them what standing they have with Allah Almighty."
Ahmad recorded it in both mursal and musnad form, and he referred the wording of the musnad version back to the mursal one; al-Bazzar recorded it likewise, and al-Tabarani recorded it in musnad form. The narrators of al-Bazzar in the musnad version are the narrators of the Sahih, and the narrators of Ahmad in both the mursal and the musnad versions are the narrators of the Sahih, except for the narrator Ja'far bin Abdullah bin Aslam, whose case is different - he is in Musnad Ahmad - and he is thiqah (trustworthy). There is a difference of opinion about some of al-Tabarani's narrators.

وَعَنْ عَدِيِّ بْنِ حَاتِمٍ قَالَ : كُنْتُ قَاعِدًا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - حِينَ جَاءَ مِنْ بَدْرٍ ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ : وَهَلْ لَقِينَا إِلَّا عَجَائِزَ كَالْجُزُرِ الْمُعَقَّلَةِ فَنَحَرْنَاهَا ؟ فَتَغَيَّرَ وَجْهُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - حَتَّى رَأَيْتُهُ كَأَنَّهُ تَفَقَّأَ فِيهِ حَبُّ الرُّمَّانِ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : " يَا ابْنَ أَخِي ، لَا تَقُلْ ذَلِكَ ، أُولَئِكَ الْمَلَأُ الْأَكْبَرُ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ ، أَمَا لَوْ رَأَيْتَهُمْ فِي مَجَالِسِهِمْ بِمَكَّةَ هِبَتَهُمْ " . فَوَاللَّهِ ، لَأَتَيْتُ مَكَّةَ فَرَأَيْتُهُمْ قُعُودًا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فِي مَجَالِسِهِمْ ، فَمَا قَدَرْتُ عَلَى أَنَّ أُسَلِّمَ عَلَيْهِمْ مِنْ هَيْبَتِهِمْ ، فَذَكَرْتُ قَوْلَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " لَوْ رَأَيْتَهُمْ فِي مَجَالِسِهِمْ لَهِبْتَهُمْ " .

Sayyiduna Adi bin Hatim (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: Once I was sitting with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him); this was when he had come back from Badr. A man from the Ansar said: "We faced only old women, like tethered camels, and we slaughtered them." The colour of the blessed face of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) changed; it seemed as if pomegranate juice had been poured over it. Then he said: "O my nephew! Do not say that. They were the great men of Quraysh. Had you seen them in their gatherings in Makkah, you would have been overawed by them." The narrator says: By Allah! I came to Makkah and saw those people sitting in their gatherings by the Masjid al-Haram, and I could not even bring myself to greet them with salam, because of their awe. Then I remembered the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):
"Had you seen them in their particular gatherings, you would have been overawed by them."
Sayyiduna Adi bin Hatim (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
"O assembly of people! Love Quraysh, for whoever loves Quraysh loves me, and whoever hates Quraysh hates me. Indeed Allah Almighty has made my people beloved to me, so I will not hasten to take revenge on them, and I do not consider any blessing too much for them. O Allah! You made the first part of Quraysh taste punishment, so make the last part of them taste Your gifts. Behold! Allah Almighty knows what is in my heart - the love that is in my heart for my people - so Allah Almighty has made me pleased concerning them, and Allah Almighty said:
'And indeed it is a reminder for you and for your people, and soon you will be questioned.'
So Allah Almighty, in His Book, reserved the reminder and the honour for my people, and said:
'And warn your nearest kindred, and lower your wing to those of the believers who follow you.'
By this too my people are meant. So all praise belongs to Allah Almighty, who made the Siddiq from my people, made the martyr from my people, and made the leaders from my people. Indeed Allah Almighty turned the servants over, inside and out, and the best of the Arabs were Quraysh. They are the blessed tree about which Allah Almighty has said in His Book:
'The example of a good word is like a good tree, whose root is firm and whose branch is in the sky.'
By this Quraysh are meant. 'Its root is firm': the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) says: this means the nobility of their origin; 'and its branch is in the sky': the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: this means the honour that Allah Almighty gave them through Islam, in that Allah Almighty guided them to Islam and made them its people.
Then Allah Almighty revealed about them a whole surah in His Book: (the saying of Allah Almighty:)
'For the familiarity of Quraysh - their familiarity with the journey of winter and summer - let them worship the Lord of this House, who has fed them against hunger and made them safe from fear.'"
Sayyiduna Adi bin Hatim (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I saw that whenever Quraysh were mentioned with good in the presence of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), he would be pleased by it, until the signs of joy became visible on his face, and he would recite this verse:
"And indeed it is a reminder for you and for your people, and soon you will be questioned."
Al-Tabarani recorded it; its chain contains a narrator, Husayn al-Saluli, whom I do not know, and the remaining narrators of this report are thiqat (trustworthy).

Sayyidah Umm Hani (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah Almighty has favoured Quraysh with seven distinctions which were not given to anyone before them and will not be given to anyone after them. Allah Almighty has favoured Quraysh in that I am from them; that prophethood is among them; that the office of hijabah (custodianship of the Ka'bah) is among them; that the office of siqayah (providing water to the pilgrims) is among them; Allah Almighty helped them against the elephants; they worshipped Allah Almighty for ten years in such a way that no one other than them worshipped Allah Almighty; and Allah Almighty revealed a surah of the Qur'an about them, and (no independent surah) was revealed about anyone other than them."

Sayyiduna al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah Almighty has favoured Quraysh with seven distinctions. Allah Almighty has favoured them in that they worshipped Allah Almighty for ten years in such a way that at that time no one worshipped Allah Almighty except a Qurashi; Allah Almighty has favoured them in that Allah Almighty helped them against the elephants while they were polytheists; Allah Almighty has favoured them in that a surah of the Qur'an was revealed about them in which no one else besides them is mentioned: 'For the familiarity of Quraysh'; and Allah Almighty has favoured them in that the offices of prophethood, caliphate, hijabah and siqayah are theirs."

وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ قَالَ : أَقْحَمَتِ السَّنَةُ نَابِغَةَ بَنِي جَعْدَةَ ، فَأَتَى عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ الزُّبَيْرِ وَهُوَ جَالِسٌ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فَأَنْشَأَ يَقُولُ :

Abdullah bin Urwah bin al-Zubayr narrates: Once a year of drought overtook al-Nabighah of Banu Ja'dah. He came to Sayyiduna Abdullah bin al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) while he was sitting in Madinah, and recited these verses:
"When you became our governor, you related to us (the ways of) Sayyiduna Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him), Sayyiduna Umar al-Faruq (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Uthman (may Allah be pleased with him), and the one who had nothing found relief. You treated people with equality according to the truth, so they became upright, and the dark night turned into morning. Abu Layla has come to you, whom the darknesses - the darknesses of the night - have driven about; he is a sturdy camel crossing the wastelands, so that you may treat him well; the changes of the nights and the cruel age have cast him adrift."
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: "Easy, O Abu Layla! For with us poetry is the least of your means. As for the choicest of our wealth, it is for the family of al-Zubayr, and as for its best portions, Banu Asad and Tamim keep them from you. But you have two rights in the wealth of Allah Almighty: one right because you saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and one right because you share in Islam with the rest of the people of Islam." Then he gave orders concerning al-Nabighah, and he was taken into the house of livestock. He ordered for him seven young she-camels, provisions and horses, and loaded the mounts for him with wheat and dates. Al-Nabighah began hastily eating the plain grain, so Sayyiduna Abdullah bin al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: "Poor Abu Layla! Hardship has reached him severely." Sayyiduna al-Nabighah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I bear witness that I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say:
'Whenever Quraysh govern and act with justice, are asked for mercy and show mercy, make a covenant and fulfil it, and make a promise and keep it, then I and the other prophets will be the forerunners of the thronging multitude.'"
Al-Tabarani recorded it; its chain contains a narrator whom I do not know, and it has narrators about whom there is a difference of opinion.

Sayyiduna Rifa'ah bin Rafi' (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him): "Gather the people of your tribe for me." Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) gathered them near the house of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), then went inside to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "O Messenger of Allah! Shall I ask them to come in to you, or will you go out to them?" The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Rather, I will go out to them." The narrator says: Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to them and said: "Is there anyone among you who is not one of you?" The people said: "Yes! Among us are our allies, and our brothers' sons (this is the word in the Arabic text, but perhaps the word here should have been 'sisters' sons'), and our mawali (freed clients)." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Our allies are from us, our brothers' sons (or 'sisters' sons') are from us, and our mawali are from us. And you - do you not hear? 'Indeed its guardians are none but the God-fearing.' If you are such, then that is it; and if not, then take heed, lest on the Day of Resurrection people come with deeds and you come with burdens, and we turn away from you."
The narrator says: Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) raised both his hands and said: "O people! Indeed Quraysh are people of trustworthiness. Whoever seeks out pitfalls for them, Allah Almighty will throw him down on his nostrils." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said this three times.
Al-Bazzar recorded it, and these words of the report are his. Ahmad recorded it in abridged form, and his words are: "Allah Almighty will throw him on his face into Hell."
Al-Tabarani recorded a report like that of al-Bazzar, and in one report he gave these words:
"Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: 'I have gathered my people for you.' When the Ansar learned of this, they said: 'Some revelation must have come down concerning Quraysh.' Then they too came, some listening and some watching to see what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would say to them. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) went out and stood among them." After this the narrator related a report like that of al-Bazzar with various chains. The narrators of Ahmad
and al-Bazzar, and the narrators of al-Tabarani's chain, are thiqat (trustworthy).

The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "O Allah!

Ubaydullah bin Umar bin Musa narrates: I was present with Sulayman bin Ali when an elderly man from Quraysh came in. Sulayman said: "Look at this elderly man!" Then he seated him in a good place and said: "Quraysh have a right." I said: "O Amir! Shall I not narrate to you a hadith that has reached me from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)?" He said: "Yes, indeed!" So I told him:
"It has reached me that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Whoever insults Quraysh, Allah Almighty will humiliate him.'" The narrator says: He said: "Subhan Allah! How excellent this is! Who narrated this hadith to you?" The narrator says: I said: "Rabi'ah bin Abi Abd al-Rahman narrated this hadith to me from Sa'id bin al-Musayyib, from Amr bin Uthman bin Affan, who said: My father (that is, Sayyiduna Uthman al-Ghani (may Allah be pleased with him)) said to me: 'O my son! If you are ever put in charge of any of the people's affairs, then honour Quraysh, for I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Whoever insults Quraysh, Allah Almighty will humiliate him."'"
