Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah

Hazrat Salim bin Abi Al-Ja'd (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that Hazrat Abu Darda (may Allah be pleased with him) used to swear by Allah and say: "No tribe will remain except that all will become like the Christians, except for the tribe of Qais. O group of Muslims! Love the people of Qais, O group of Muslims! Love the people of Qais."

Hazrat Zaid bin Muhammad, may Allah have mercy on him, says that I was with Hazrat Muslamah bin Abdul Malik, may Allah have mercy on him, in a campaign against the Turks. Then the envoy of the Khagan king threatened him greatly and wrote him a letter: I will meet you with the powerful youths of the Turks. In reply, Hazrat Muslamah, may Allah have mercy on him, wrote him a letter: Indeed, you will meet us with the powerful ones of the Turks, and I will meet you with the powerful ones of the Arabs, that is, with the people of the tribe of Qais.

Hazrat Rubayyi bin Hirash (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that Hazrat Hudhaifa (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O group of Mudar! Come closer, indeed the leaders of the children of Adam are among you, and among you will be those who excel, just as in a horse race there are those who take the lead.

Hazrat Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When people begin to differ, the truth will be with the tribe of Mudar.

Hazrat Sufyan (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that Hazrat Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The tribe of Qais are the warriors of the Arabs.
