Silsilat al-Ahadith al-Sahihah

Abdullah bin Abu Huzail said: Some people from the tribe of Rabi’ah were sitting with Sayyiduna Amr bin Al-As (may Allah be pleased with him). A man from the tribe of Bakr bin Wa’il said: The people of the tribe of Quraysh should desist from these actions, or Allah, the Exalted, will hand over this (matter of leadership) to the majority of the Arabs or to someone else. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: You are lying. I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: “The Quraysh will remain the rulers of the people in good and evil until the Day of Resurrection.”
