حديث أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنها، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ، قَالَ: النَّاسُ تَبعٌ لِقُرَيْشٍ فِي هذَا الشَّأْنِ، مُسْلِمُهُمْ تَبَعٌ لِمُسْلِمِهِم، وَكَافِرُهُمْ تَبَعٌ لِكَافِرِهِمْ.
Abu Hurairah Narrated from:
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم 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." ( Sahih Al-Bukhâri, Hadîth No. 700, Vol. 4)
