Al-Matalib al-'Aliyah 2106 — The caliphate is among Quraysh

وَقَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ : حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْعَزِيزِ بْنُ صَالِحِ بْنِ قُدَامَةَ الْجُمَحِيُّ ، ثَنَا هَارُونُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ، ثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ أَبِي قُتَيْلَةَ ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى بْنِ عُرْوَةَ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ ، قَالَ : أَحْجَمَتْ عَلَيْنَا السَّنَةُ نَابِغَةَ بْنَ جَعْدَةَ ، وَنَحْنُ مَعَ ابْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ بِمَكَّةَ ، فَوَقَفَ بَعْدَ مَا صَلَّى الصُّبْحَ بِالنَّاسِ بِالْمَسْجِدِ الْحَرَامِ ، فَقَالَ :
حَكَيْتَ لَنَا الصِّدِّيقَ لَمَّا وَلِيتَنَا وَعُثْمَانَ وَالْفَارُوقَ فَارْتَاحَ مُعْدِمُ أَتَاكَ أَبُو لَيْلَى يُشَقُّ بِهِ الدُّجَى
دُجَى اللَّيْلِ جَوَّابُ الْفَلَاةِ عَثَمْثَمُ لِتَرْفَعَ مِنْهُ جَانِبًا ذَعْذَعَتْ بِهِ
صُرُوفُ اللَّيَالِي وَالزَّمَانُ الْمُصَمْصِمُ فَقَالَ لَهُ ابْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ : أَمْسِكْ عَلَيْكَ أَبَا لَيْلَى ، فَإِنَّ الشِّعْرَ أَهْوَنُ وَسَائِلِكَ عَلَيْنَا ، أَمَّا صَفْوَةُ مَالِنَا فَلِآلِ الزُّبَيْرِ : وَأَمَّا عَفْوَتُهُ فَإِنَّ بَنِي أَسَدٍ تَشْغَلُنَا عَنْكَ ، وَلَكِنْ لَكَ فِي مَالِ اللهِ حَقَّانِ : حَقٌّ بِرُؤْيَتِكَ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَحَقٌّ بِشَرِكَتِكَ أَهْلَ الْإِسْلَامِ ، وَأَمَرَ أَنْ تُوقَرَ لَهُ الرِّكَابُ حَبًّا وَتَمْرًا ، فَجَعَلَ أَبُو لَيْلَى يُعَجِّلُ وَيَأْكُلُ مِنَ التَّمْرِ وَالْحَبِّ وَابْنُ الزُّبَيْرِ رَضِيَ اللهُ عَنْهُ يَقُولُ لَهُ : لَقَدْ بَلَغَ بِكَ الْجَهْدُ أَبَا لَيْلَى ، فَلَمَّا قَضَى نَهْمَتَهُ قَالَ : أَشْهَدُ لَسَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ : مَا وَلِيَتْ قُرَيْشٌ فَعَدَلَتْ ، وَاسْتُرْحِمَتْ فَرَحِمَتْ ، وَحَدَّثَتْ فَصَدَقَتْ ، وَوَعَدَتْ خَيْرًا فَأَنْجَزَتْ ، فَأَنَا وَالنَّبِيُّونَ عَلَى الْحَوْضِ فَرَطٌ لِلْقَاصِفِينَ قَالَ : وَالْقَاصِفُونَ : الَّذِينَ يُرْسِلُونَ الْمَاءَ عَلَى الْحَوْضِ دَفْعَةً وَاحِدَةً .
قَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ : الْمَالُ : الْإِبِلُ .
It is narrated from Abdullah bin Urwah that a year of severe drought brought Nabighah bin Ja'dah to us while we were with Sayyiduna Ibn al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) in Makkah. After leading the people in the dawn prayer in al-Masjid al-Haram, he stood up and recited these verses: "By becoming our governor you have revived for us the memory of Sayyiduna al-Siddiq, Sayyiduna Uthman and Sayyiduna al-Faruq (may Allah be pleased with them), and the destitute have found relief. Abu Layla (Nabighah) has come to you cleaving the darkness of the nights, a strong traveller crossing the deserts, so that you may set right his condition, which the turns of night and day and a harsh time have scattered." Sayyiduna Ibn al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: "O Abu Layla! Enough, for this poetry of yours is in our view the least of your means (of obtaining wealth). As for our pure personal wealth, it is reserved for the family of al-Zubayr; and as for our surplus wealth, the needs of Banu Asad keep us from turning to you. However, you have two rights in the treasury: one right because of the honour of having seen the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and the other right because of your partnership with the Muslims at large." Then he ordered that his mounts be loaded with grain and dates. Abu Layla began hurriedly eating the dates and grain, at which Sayyiduna Ibn al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Abu Layla! Great hardship and severe hunger are showing on you." When he had satisfied his need, he said: I bear witness that I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "As long as Quraysh rule and act with justice, show mercy when mercy is asked of them, speak the truth when they speak, and fulfil when they promise good, then I and all the prophets (peace be upon them) will be forerunners at the Pond (al-Kawthar) for those al-qasifun." The narrator said that al-qasifun are those who crowd at the Pond to drink all at once.
Ibn Abi Umar said that here the word al-mal (wealth) means camels.
