أحمد:١٧٨٠٨حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ أَبِي الْهُذَيْلِ قَالَ كَانَ عَمْرُو بْنُ الْعَاصِ يَتَخَوَّلُنَا فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَكْرِ بْنِ وَائِلٍ لَئِنْ لَمْ تَنْتَهِ قُرَيْشٌ

لَيَضَعَنَّ اللهُ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ فِي جُمْهُورٍ مِنْ جَمَاهِيرِ الْعَرَبِ سِوَاهُمْ فَقَالَ عَمْرُو بْنُ الْعَاصِ كَذَبْتَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ قُرَيْشٌ وُلَاةُ النَّاسِ فِي الْخَيْرِ وَالشَّرِّ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ
