"الأئمَّةُ منْ قُرَيش أبرَارُهَا أُمَرَاءُ إبْرَارهَا، وفجَّارُهَا أُمَرَاءُ فُجَّارِهَا، (وَلكُلٍّ حَقٌّ فآتُوا كُلَّ ذِي حَقٍّ حَقَّهُ) وَإنْ أمّرَتْه عَلَيكم قُرَيشٌ عَبْدًا حَبَشيًّا مُجْدَعًا فَاسْمَعُوا (له) وَأطيعُوا مَا لمْ يُخَيَّرَ أحَدُكُمْ بين إِسْلامِهِ وَضَرْب عَنُقِهِ فَإِنْ خُيِّرَ بينَ إِسْلامِهِ وَضَرْب عنُقِه فَليُقَدَّمْ عُنُقَه" .

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The leaders are from Quraysh. The righteous ones among them are the leaders of the righteous, and the wicked ones among them are the leaders of the wicked. Everyone has a right, so give everyone their due right. And if I appoint a slave of Abyssinian descent as a leader over you, then listen to him and obey him as long as he does not command you to commit a sin. If he commands you to commit a sin, then none of you should choose between embracing Islam or have his neck struck, but instead he should prioritize having his neck struck, for he will lose both this world and the Hereafter after abandoning Islam." Al-Dhahabi remained silent about this statement in his summary.

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «الْأَئِمَّةُ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ أَبْرَارُهَا أُمَرَاءُ أَبْرَارِهَا وَفُجَّارُهَا أُمَرَاءُ فُجَّارِهَا وَلِكُلٍّ حَقٌّ فَآتُوا كُلَّ ذِيِ حَقٍّ حَقَّهُ وَإِنْ أَمَّرْتُ عَلَيْكُمْ عَبْدًا حَبَشِيًّا مُجَدَّعًا فَاسْمَعُوا لَهُ وَأَطِيعُوا مَا لَمْ يُخَيَّرْ أَحَدُكُمْ بَيْنَ إِسْلَامِهِ وَضَرْبِ عُنُقِهِ فَإِنْ خُيِّرَ بَيْنَ إِسْلَامِهِ وَضَرْبِ عُنُقِهِ فَلْيُقَدِّمٍ عُنُقَهُ فَإِنَّهُ لَا دُنْيَا لَهُ وَلَا آخِرَةَ بَعْدَ إِسْلَامِهِ» سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص
