Al-Matalib al-'Aliyah 4128 — The virtue of Quraish

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) narrated a long hadith in which were also these words: "And were it not for my fear that Quraysh would become proud and boastful (on hearing of their virtues), I would certainly have informed them of the reward and rank decreed for them with Allah, the Mighty and Majestic. 'Allahumma innaka adhaqta awwalaha nakalan, fa-adhiq akhiraha nawalan' (O Allah, You made the first of them taste an exemplary punishment (because of their disbelief); now let those who come after them taste Your favour and bounty (through Islam))."
Imam Abu Ya'la also recorded this report in the same way with his own chain.
