[Machine] "The Prophet ﷺ said that the people are followers of the Quraysh in this matter. Their Muslim is a follower of his fellow Muslim, and their disbeliever is a follower of his fellow disbeliever."  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ النَّاسُ تَبَعٌ لِقُرَيْشٍ فِي هَذَا الشَّأْنِ مُسْلِمُهُمْ تَبَعٌ لِمُسْلِمِهِمْ وَكَافِرُهُمْ تَبَعٌ لِكَافِرِهِمْ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "As long as there are two people left in Quraish, this matter (Islam) will continue." And in another narration by Ad-Darimi, "As long as there are two people remaining among the people."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ لَا يَزَالُ هَذَا الْأَمْرُ فِي قُرَيْشٍ مَا كَانَ فِي النَّاسِ اثْنَيْنِ وَفِي رِوَايَة الدَّارِمِيِّ مَا بَقِيَ مِنَ النَّاسِ اثْنَانِ  

That while he was with a delegation from Quraish to Muawiya, the latter heard the news that ʿAbdullah bin ʿAmr bin Al-ʿAs said that there would be a king from the tribe of Qahtan. On that Muawiya became angry, got up and then praised Allah as He deserved, and said, "Now then, I have heard that some men amongst you narrate things which are neither in the Holy Book, nor have been told by Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Those men are the ignorant amongst you. Beware of such hopes as make the people go astray, for I heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'Authority of ruling will remain with Quraish, and whoever bears hostility to them, Allah will destroy him as long as they abide by the laws of the religion.' " (Using translation from Bukhārī 3500)   

أَنَّهُ سَيَكُونُ مَلِكٌ مِنْ قَحْطَانَ فَغَضِبَ مُعَاوِيَةُ فَقَامَ فَأَثْنَى عَلَى اللهِ بِمَا هُوَ أَهْلُهُ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَمَّا بَعْدُ فَإِنَّهُ بَلَغَنِي أَنَّ رِجَالًا مِنْكُمْ يَتَحَدَّثُونَ أَحَادِيثَ لَيْسَتْ فِي كِتَابِ اللهِ وَلَا تُؤْثَرُ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أُولَئِك جُهَّالُكُمْ إِيَّاكُمْ وَالْأَمَانِيَّ الَّتِي تُضِلُّ أَهْلَهَا فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ إِنَّ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ فِي قُرَيْشٍ لَا يُعَادِيهِمْ فِيهِ أَحَدٌ إِلَّا كَبَّهُ اللهُ عَلَى وَجْهِهِ مَا أَقَامُوا الدِّينَ  

[Machine] It is reported that the Ansar went against us and gathered with their families in the Saqifah of Bani Sa'ida. Ali and Zubair also went against us and those who were with them. The Muhajireen gathered with Abu Bakr. So I said to Abu Bakr, "O Abu Bakr, come with us to our brothers from the Ansar." So we departed with the intention of meeting them. When we approached them, we met two righteous men from among them. They mentioned what the people had been saying about them. We told them that we wanted our brothers from the Ansar. They said to us, "It is not upon you to come near them. Deal with your own affairs." So I said, "By Allah, we will approach them." So we went until we reached them in the Saqifah of Bani Sa'ida. There, we saw a man wrapped in a garment between them. I asked, "Who is this?" They said, "This is Sa'ad bin Ubadah." I asked, "What is wrong with him?" They said, "He is sick." When we sat for a while, their speaker praised Allah and then mentioned their status. He said, "We are the Ansar of Allah and the battalion of Islam, and you are the Muhajireen. We are a group from us and there is a remnant from your people who have opposed us, trying to diminish our status and take the authority from us." Then when he remained silent, I intended to speak and I had prepared a speech that I found impressive, which I wanted to present to Abu Bakr. I even faked my speech in front of him, but I avoided mentioning the matter. Then Abu Bakr said, "Speak upon your mission." I hated that he said that and I feared becoming angry and that he would speak before me. Abu Bakr was more patient and respectful. By Allah, he did not leave any word that I found impressive in my false speech except that he said something similar or better than it. Until he remained silent. I said, "You have mentioned nothing but good, and you are deserving of it. We would not have known of this matter if it were not for this noble person from the Quraysh, who are the middle of the Arabs in lineage, wealth, and status. I am pleased with one of these two men, so pledge to either of them as you wish." I extended my hand, and Abu Bakr extended his hand, as did Abu Ubaydah bin Jarrah, who was sitting between us. I would not have disliked anything he said except that it was not in favor of me, apart from this, by Allah, even if he had slapped my neck, I would not have been closer to committing a sin than I am now. I prefer it to commanding a people in whom Abu Bakr is not their leader, O Allah, unless you make my soul understand at the time of my death something that I do not understand now." Then a speaker among the Ansar said, "I am their representative, Al-Muhakkak, and their spokesperson, Al-Murajjab. From us is an Amir and from you is an Amir, O people of Quraish." The noise increased and the voices raised until I feared disagreement. So I said, "Extend your hand, O Abu Bakr." So Abu Bakr extended his hand and I pledged allegiance to him. The Muhajireen pledged allegiance to him, and then the Ansar pledged allegiance to him.

(the wife of the Prophet) Messenger of Allah ﷺ died while Abu Bakr was at a place called As-Sunah (Al-'Aliya) 'Umar stood up and said, "By Allah! Messenger of Allah ﷺ is not dead!" 'Umar (later on) said, "By Allah! Nothing occurred to my mind except that." He said, "Verily! Allah will resurrect him and he will cut the hands and legs of some men." Then Abu Bakr came and uncovered the face of Messenger of Allah ﷺ, kissed him and said, "Let my mother and father be sacrificed for you, (O Messenger of Allah ﷺ), you are good in life and in death. By Allah in Whose Hands my life is, Allah will never make you taste death twice." Then he went out and said, "O oath-taker! Don't be hasty." When Abu Bakr spoke, 'Umar sat down. Abu Bakr praised and glorified Allah and said, No doubt! Whoever worshipped Muhammad, then Muhammad is dead, but whoever worshipped Allah, then Allah is Alive and shall never die." Then he recited Allah's Statement.:-- "(O Muhammad) Verily you will die, and they also will die." (39.30) He also recited:-- "Muhammad is no more than an Apostle; and indeed many Apostles have passed away, before him, If he dies Or is killed, will you then Turn back on your heels? And he who turns back On his heels, not the least Harm will he do to Allah And Allah will give reward to those Who are grateful." (3.144) The people wept loudly, and the Ansar were assembled with Sad bin 'Ubada in the shed of Bani Saida. They said (to the emigrants). "There should be one 'Amir from us and one from you." Then Abu Bakr, Umar bin Al-Khattab and Abu 'baida bin Al-Jarrah went to them. 'Umar wanted to speak but Abu Bakr stopped him. 'Umar later on used to say, "By Allah, I intended only to say something that appealed to me and I was afraid that Abu Bakr would not speak so well. Then Abu Bakr spoke and his speech was very eloquent. He said in his statement, "We are the rulers and you (Ansars) are the ministers (i.e. advisers)," Hubab bin Al-Mundhir said, "No, by Allah we won't accept this. But there must be a ruler from us and a ruler from you." Abu Bakr said, "No, we will be the rulers and you will be the ministers, for they (i.e. Quarish) are the best family amongst the 'Arabs and of best origin. So you should elect either 'Umar or Abu 'Ubaida bin Al-Jarrah as your ruler." 'Umar said (to Abu Bakr), "No but we elect you, for you are our chief and the best amongst us and the most beloved of all of us to Messenger of Allah ﷺ." So 'Umar took Abu Bakr's hand and gave the pledge of allegiance and the people too gave the pledge of allegiance to Abu Bakr. Someone said, "You have killed Sad bin Ubada." 'Umar said, "Allah has killed him." (Using translation from Bukhārī 3667)

[Machine] "Indeed, this matter concerning the Quraysh, they did not obey Allah and did not remain steadfast on His command. It has reached you or you have heard it from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: 'And do not dispute and [thus] lose courage and [then] your strength would depart; and be patient. Indeed, Allah is with the patient.' (Surah Al-Anfal, verse 46). So, we are the leaders and you are the ministers, our brothers in religion and our supporters in it. In the sermon of Umar after him, I reminded you by Allah, O assembly of the Ansar, did you not hear the Messenger of Allah ﷺ or someone among you heard him say: 'The rulers from Quraysh, they did not obey Allah and did not remain steadfast on His command?' So, whoever among the Ansar said: yes, now we have remembered. He said: 'We do not seek this matter except for this (unity in religion). So, do not let desires deceive you, for there is no path after the truth except misguidance. So how will you act?'"  

وَإِنَّ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ فِي قُرَيْشٍ مَا أَطَاعُوا اللهَ وَاسْتَقَامُوا عَلَى أَمْرِهِ قَدْ بَلَغَكُمْ ذَلِكَ أَوْ سَمِعْتُمُوهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ {وَلَا تَنَازَعُوا فَتَفْشَلُوا وَتَذْهَبَ رِيحُكُمْ وَاصْبِرُوا إِنَّ اللهَ مَعَ الصَّابِرِينَ} [الأنفال 46] فَنَحْنُ الْأُمَرَاءُ وَأَنْتُمُ الْوُزَرَاءُ إِخْوَانُنَا فِي الدِّينِ وَأَنْصَارُنَا عَلَيْهِ وَفِي خُطْبَةِ عُمَرَ ؓ بَعْدَهُ نَشَدْتُكُمْ بِاللهِ يَا مَعْشَرَ الْأَنْصَارِ أَلَمْ تَسْمَعُوا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَوْ مَنْ سَمِعَهُ مِنْكُمْ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ الْوُلَاةُ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ مَا أَطَاعُوا اللهَ وَاسْتَقَامُوا عَلَى أَمْرِهِ ؟ فَقَالَ مَنْ قَالَ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ بَلَى الْآنَ ذَكَرْنَا قَالَ فَإِنَّا لَا نَطْلُبُ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ إِلَّا لِهَذَا فَلَا تَسْتَهْوِيَنَّكُمُ الْأَهْوَاءُ فَلَيْسَ بَعْدَ الْحَقِّ إِلَّا الضَّلَالُ فَأَنَّي تُصْرَفُونَ  

[Machine] When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ passed away, the Ansar (the residents of Madinah) appointed their speakers, and one man among them said, "O community of Muhajireen (the migrants)! Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to appoint a man from among you and pair him with a man from us (the Ansar) whenever he assigned a task. So we see that there should be two men to oversee this matter, one from among you and the other from among us." The speakers of the Ansar continued to discuss this matter, and then Zaid ibn Thabit stood up and said, "Indeed, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ belonged to the Muhajireen, and surely the Imam should be from the Muhajireen, and we are his Ansar, just as we were the Ansar of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . Then Abu Bakr stood up and said, "May Allah reward you all, O community of the Ansar, and establish the statement of your spokesperson. Then he said, "If you had done otherwise, we would not have benefited you. Then Zaid ibn Thabit took the hand of Abu Bakr and said, "This is your companion, so pledge allegiance to him. Then they set out." When Abu Bakr sat on the pulpit, he looked at the faces of the people but did not see Ali, so he asked about him. Then some people from the Ansar stood up and brought him. Abu Bakr said, "O Muhammad ibn Ali! Did you intend to split the Muslim community?" Ali answered, "No reproach, O successor of the Messenger of Allah. We pledge allegiance to him." 16539 Abu al-Hasan Ali ibn Muhammad ibn Ali al-Hafiz al-Isfira'ini narrated that Abu Ali al-Husayn ibn Ali al-Hafiz informed us, who narrated that Bundar ibn Bashshar informed him, who narrated from Abu Hisham al-Makhzumi, who narrated from Wahib, who mentioned it in a similar manner. Abu Ali al-Hafiz said, "I heard Muhammad ibn Ishaq ibn Khuzaymah saying, 'Muslim ibn al-Hajjaj came to me and asked me about this hadith, so I wrote it for him on a piece of parchment and recited it to him. He said, 'Doesn't this hadith equate a carcass with the Battle of Badr?' I said, 'No, rather it equates Badr with a carcass.'"  

لَمَّا تُوُفِّيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ قَامَ خُطَبَاءُ الْأَنْصَارِ فَجَعَلَ الرَّجُلُ مِنْهُمْ يَقُولُ يَا مَعْشَرَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا اسْتَعْمَلَ رَجُلًا مِنْكُمْ قَرَنَ مَعَهُ رَجُلًا مِنَّا فَنَرَى أَنْ يَلِيَ هَذَا الْأَمْرَ رَجُلَانِ أَحَدُهُمَا مِنْكُمْ وَالْآخَرُ مِنَّا قَالَ فَتَتَابَعَتْ خُطَبَاءُ الْأَنْصَارِ عَلَى ذَلِكَ فَقَامَ زَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ ؓ فَقَالَ إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَإِنَّ الْإِمَامَ يَكُونُ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ وَنَحْنُ أَنْصَارُهُ كَمَا كُنَّا أَنْصَارَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَامَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ فَقَالَ جَزَاكُمُ اللهُ خَيْرًا يَا مَعْشَرَ الْأَنْصَارِ وَثَبَّتَ قَائِلَكُمْ ثُمَّ قَالَ أَمَا لَوْ فَعَلْتُمْ غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ لَمَا صَالَحْنَاكُمْ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ زَيْدُ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ بِيَدِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ فَقَالَ هَذَا صَاحِبُكُمْ فَبَايَعُوهُ ثُمَّ انْطَلَقُوا فَلَمَّا قَعَدَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ نَظَرَ فِي وُجُوهِ الْقَوْمِ فَلَمْ يَرَ عَلِيًّا ؓ فَسَأَلَ عَنْهُ فَقَامَ نَاسٌ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ فَأَتَوْا بِهِ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ ابْنَ عَمِّ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَخَتَنَهُ أَرَدْتَ أَنْ تَشُقَّ عَصَا الْمُسْلِمِينَ؟ فَقَالَ لَا تَثْرِيبَ يَا خَلِيفَةَ رَسُولِ اللهِ فبايعه ثُمَّ لَمْ يَرَ الزُّبَيْرَ بْنَ الْعَوَّامِ ؓ فَسَأَلَ عَنْهُ حَتَّى جَاءُوا بِهِ فَقَالَ ابْنَ عَمَّةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَحَوَارِيَّهُ أَرَدْتَ أَنْ تَشُقَّ عَصَا الْمُسْلِمِينَ؟ فَقَالَ مِثْلَ قَوْلِهِ لَا تَثْرِيبَ يَا خَلِيفَةَ رَسُولِ اللهُ فَبَايَعَاهُ 16539 أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو الْحَسَنِ عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عَلِيٍّ الْحَافِظُ الْإِسْفِرَائِينِيُّ ثَنَا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْحَافِظُ أَنْبَأَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ خُزَيْمَةَ وَإِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ أَبِي طَالِبٍ قَالَا ثَنَا بُنْدَارُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ ثَنَا أَبُو هِشَامٍ الْمَخْزُومِيُّ ثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ فَذَكَرَهُ بِنَحْوِهِ قَالَ أَبُو عَلِيٍّ الْحَافِظُ سَمِعْتُ مُحَمَّدَ بْنَ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ خُزَيْمَةَ يَقُولُ جَاءَنِي مُسْلِمُ بْنُ الْحَجَّاجِ فَسَأَلَنِي عَنْ هَذَا الْحَدِيثِ فَكَتَبْتُهُ لَهُ فِي رُقْعَةٍ وَقَرَأْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ يَسْوِي بَدَنَةً فَقُلْتُ يَسْوِي بَدَنَةً؟ بَلْ هُوَ يَسْوِي بَدْرَةً  

[Machine] "That the Prophet ﷺ said, 'The Imams are from the Quraysh.'"  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ الْأَئِمَّةُ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered upon us while we were in a house with a group of Muhajireen (immigrants). He said, "Each one of us should make room for him, hoping that he would sit next to him." So he stood at the doorway of the house and said, "The leaders from the Quraish have a great right upon you, and they have done three things: they have been generous, showed mercy, and made just decisions. They have fulfilled their commitments and covenants. Whoever does not do these things from among them, then upon him is the curse of Allah, the angels, and all people." That is how it is."  

دَخَلَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَنَحْنُ فِي بَيْتٍ فِي نَفَرٍ مِنَ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ قَالَ فَجَعَلَ كُلُّ رَجُلٍ مِنَّا يُوَسِّعُ لَهُ يَرْجُو أَنْ يَجْلِسَ إِلَى جَنْبِهِ فَقَامَ عَلَى بَابِ الْبَيْتِ فَقَالَ الْأَئِمَّةُ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ وَلِي عَلَيْكُمْ حَقٌّ عَظِيمٌ وَلَهُمْ مِثْلُهُم مَا فَعَلُوا ثَلَاثًا إِذَا اسْتُرْحِمُوا وَرَحَمُوا وَحَكَمُوا فَعَدَلُوا وَعَاهَدُوا فَوَفَوْا فَمَنْ لَمْ يَفْعَلْ ذَلِكَ مِنْهُمْ فَعَلَيْهِ لَعْنَةُ اللهِ وَالْمَلَائِكَةِ وَالنَّاسِ أَجْمَعِينَ وَكَذَلِكَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "The leaders from the Quraysh, when they judge, they are just, and when they make a covenant, they fulfill it, and when they are entrusted with something, they keep it safe." It was also narrated by Musa Al-Juhani from Mansur, who heard Anas from the Prophet ﷺ with the same meaning. Abu Zakariyya Ibn Abi Ishaq informed us that Abu Abdullah Muhammad Ibn Ya'qub narrated to us, who was informed by Muhammad Ibn Abdul Wahhab, who was informed by Ja'far Ibn Awn, who was informed by Musa Al-Juhani, who mentioned it.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ الْأَئِمَّةُ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ إِذَا مَا حَكَمُوا فَعَدَلُوا وَإِذَا عَاهَدُوا وَفَوْا وَإِذَا اسْتُرْحِمُوا رَحِمُوا 16543 وَرَوَاهُ أَيْضًا مُوسَى الْجُهَنِيُّ عَنْ مَنْصُورٍ عَمَّنْ سَمِعَ أَنَسًا عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِمَعْنَاهُ أَخْبَرَنَاهُ أَبُو زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ أَنْبَأَ أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَعْقُوبَ ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَهَّابِ أَنْبَأَ جَعْفَرُ بْنُ عَوْنٍ أَنْبَأَ مُوسَى الْجُهَنِيُّ فَذَكَرَهُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The rulers from the Quraysh say three things: 'I have rights over you, and you have rights over me, based on what they have done for you in three areas: they do not show mercy when they are merciful, they are not just when they divide, and they are not fair when they judge."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْأُمَرَاءُ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ يَقُولُهَا ثَلَاثًا أَلَا وَلِي عَلَيْكُمْ حَقٌّ وَلَهُمْ عَلَيْكُمْ حَقٌّ مَا عَمِلُوا فِيكُمْ بِثَلَاثٍ مَا رَحِمُوا إِذَا اسْتُرْحِمُوا وَمَا أَقْسَطُوا إِذَا قَسَمُوا وَمَا عَدَلُوا إِذَا حَكَمُوا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The rulers from the Quraysh, the rulers from the Quraysh, the rulers from the Quraysh, they have rights over you and you have rights over them. There are three things that if they do with you, you should show them mercy, be just when they divide among you, and act with fairness when they judge."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الْأُمَرَاءُ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ الْأُمَرَاءُ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ الْأُمَرَاءُ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ وَلِي عَلَيْهِمْ حَقٌّ وَلَكُمْ عَلَيْهِمْ حَقٌّ مَا عَمِلُوا فِيكُمْ بِثَلَاثٍ مَا إِذَا اسْتُرْحِمُوا رَحِمُوا وَأَقْسَطُوا إِذَا قَسَمُوا وَعَدَلُوا إِذَا حَكَمُوا  

[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to the Quraysh, "You are the most deserving people of this matter until you deviate from it, then you will be humiliated, just as this newspaper points to a newspaper in his hand."  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ لِقُرَيْشٍ أَنْتُمْ أَوْلَى النَّاسِ بِهَذَا الْأَمْرِ مَا كُنْتُمْ مَعَ الْحَقِّ إِلَّا أَنْ تَعْدِلُوا عَنْهُ فَتُلْحَوْنَ كَمَا تُلْحَى هَذِهِ الْجَرِيدَةُ يُشِيرُ إِلَى جَرِيدَةٍ بِيَدِهِ
