Sulaiman said: Look at the old man, give him a good seat, for Quraish have a right. I said: O Ameer, shall I not tell you a hadeeth that has reached me from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said: Yes, I said to him: I have heard that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ʿWhoever humiliates Quraish. Allah will humiliate him.” He said: Subhanallah, how good this is, Who told you this? I said: Rabeeʿah bin Abi ‘Abdur. Rahman told me, from Sa’eed bin al-Musayyab, from ’Amr bin ʿUthman bin ʿAffan ؓ who said. My father said to me: O my son, if you are put in a position of authority over the people, then honour Quraish, for I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: “Whoever humiliates Quraish, Allah will humiliate him.” .
