My ears heard and my heart understood from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: “The people follow Quraish: the righteous ones follow their righteous ones and the evil ones follow their evil ones.ʿ  

سَمِعَتْ أُذُنَايَ وَوَعَاهُ قَلْبِي مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ النَّاسُ تَبَعٌ لِقُرَيْشٍ صَالِحُهُمْ تَبَعٌ لِصَالِحِهِمْوَشِرَارُهُمْ تَبَعٌ لِشِرَارِهِمْ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "People are followers of the Quraish in this matter. Their best ones are followed by their best ones, and their worst ones are followed by their worst ones."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ النَّاسُ تَبَعٌ لِقُرَيْشٍ فِي هَذَا الشَّأْنِ خِيَارُهُمْ أَتْبَاعٌ لِخِيَارِهِمْ وَشِرَارُهُمْ أَتْبَاعٌلِشِرَارِهِمْ  

The Prophet ﷺ said, "The tribe of Quraish has precedence over the people in this connection (i.e the right of ruling). The Muslims follow the Muslims amongst them, and the infidels follow the infidels amongst them. People are of different natures: The best amongst them in the pre-lslamic period are the best in Islam provided they comprehend the religious knowledge. You will find that the best amongst the people in this respect (i.e. of ruling) is he who hates it (i.e. the idea of ruling) most, till he is given the pledge of allegiance." (Using translation from Bukhārī 3495)  

وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ النَّاسُ تَبَعٌ لِقُرَيْشٍ فِي هَذَا الشَّأْنِ مُسْلِمُهُمْ تَبَعٌ لِمُسْلِمِهِمْ وَكَافِرُهُمْ تَبَعٌ لِكَافِرِهِمْ  

"النَّاسُ تبعٌ لقريشٍ في هذا الأمرِ، فخيارهم تبع لخيارهم، وشرَارُهم تبَعٌ لشرارِهم" .  

"النَّاسُ تَبَعٌ لِقُرَيشٍ صَالِحُهُمْ تَبَعٌ لِصَالِحِهِمْ، وَشِرَارُهُمْ تَبَعٌ لِشِرَارِهِمْ".  

"عَنْ عَلِىٍّ قَالَ: سَمِعَتْ أُذُنَاىِ وَوَعَاهُ قَلْبِى مِنْ رَسُولِ الله ﷺ : النَّاسُ تَبَعٌ لِقُرَيْشٍ، خِيَارُهُمْ تَبَعًا لِخَيَارهِمْ، وَشِرَارُهُمْ تَبَعٌ لِشِرَارِهِمْ".
