عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ، عَنْ أَبِي مَسْعُودٍ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to the Quraysh, "This matter will always remain with you and your leadership as long as you do not introduce new events. If you neglect this responsibility, the worst of people will dominate you and afflict you as a stick afflicts."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لِقُرَيْشٍ «لَا يَزَالُ هَذَا الْأَمْرُ فِيكُمْ وَأَنْتُمْ وُلَاتُهُ مَا لَمْ تُحْدِثُوا أَحْدَاثًا فَيُسَلِّطُ عَلَيْكُمْ شِرَارَ خَلْقِهِ فَيَلْتَحُوكُمْ كَمَا يُلْتَحَى الْقَضِيبُ»
