Abu al-Minhal Sayyar bin Salamah (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates: I went with my father to Sayyiduna Abu Barzah al-Aslami (may Allah be pleased with him). In those days I was a boy, and I had two earrings in my ears. Sayyiduna Abu Barzah (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "I praise Allah, the Mighty and Majestic, that I have reached this morning finding fault with this clan of Quraysh (and their state of affairs). Here so-and-so is fighting for the world, and so-and-so is fighting for the world (he meant Abd al-Malik bin Marwan), until he even mentioned Ibn al-Azraq. Then he said: Indeed, the people dearest to me are those dust-covered, patch-clothed, obscure people whose bellies are empty of the wealth of the Muslims and whose backs are light of their (unlawfully shed) blood." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The rulers will be from Quraysh, the rulers will be from Quraysh, the rulers will be from Quraysh. You have a right over them, and they have a right over you, as long as they do three things: when they judge, they do justice; when mercy is asked of them, they show mercy; and when they make a covenant, they fulfil it. Whoever of them does not do so, upon him is the curse of Allah, of the angels and of all people."
