ما ذكر في فضل قريشNarrations Mentioned Regarding the Virtue of Quraysh
Hadith 34559
٣٤٥٥٩ - حدثنا عبد اللَّه بن إدريس قال: ثنا هاشم بن هاشم عن أبي جعفر قال: قال رسول اللَّه ﷺ: "لا تقدموا قريشا فتضلوا، ولا تأخروا عنها فتضلوا، خيار قريش خيار الناس، وشرار قريش شرار الناس، والذي نفس محمد بيده لولا أن تبطر قريش لأخبرتها (ما) (١) لخيارها عند اللَّه، أو ما لها عند اللَّه" (٢).
Hazrat Abu Ja'far, may Allah have mercy on him, narrates that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: Do not go ahead of the Quraysh, otherwise you will go astray, and do not lag behind the Quraysh, otherwise you will go astray. The best people of the Quraysh are the best among all people, and the worst people of the Quraysh are the worst among all people. By the One in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad (ﷺ), if the Quraysh had not become arrogant, I would have told them that they are the best in the sight of Allah.
