Narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Muslims follow the Quraysh in leadership and caliphate, just as (the Arabs) in the time of disbelief also followed the Quraysh, and the condition of people is like that of mines. Those who were good and noble in the time of ignorance are also good and noble in the time of Islam, provided they acquire knowledge of the religion. You will find the best person to be the one who dislikes authority and leadership the most, until he is caught up in it."
