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.' "

That while he was included in a delegation of Quraish staying with Muawiya, Muawiya heard that ʿAbdullah bin ʿAmr had said that there would be a king from Qahtan tribe, whereupon he became very angry. He stood up, and after glorifying and praising Allah as He deserved, said, "To proceed, I have come to know that some of you men are narrating things which are neither in Allah's Book, nor has been mentioned by Messenger of Allah ﷺ . Such people are the ignorant among you. Beware of such vain desires that mislead those who have them. I have heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'This matter (of the caliphate) will remain with the Quraish, and none will rebel against them, but Allah will throw him down on his face as long as they stick to the rules and regulations of the religion (Islam).'"
