Muhammad bin Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas narrates from his father that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever intends the disgrace of Quraysh, Allah will humiliate and abase him." This hadith has also been narrated by Imam al-Layth bin Sa'd, and it is among the finest hadiths that senior imams narrated from those junior to them.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Whoever intends the disgrace and humiliation of Quraysh, Allah, Mighty and Majestic, will abase and disgrace him." In this narration, Yusuf bin Abi Aqil is without doubt Yusuf bin al-Hakam, and it is authentically established from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) that a son is not held responsible for his father's crime.

Hamzah bin Abi Sa'id al-Khudri narrates from his father (Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri, may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say on the pulpit: "What is the matter with people who say that my kinship will not benefit? Of course it will, by Allah! My kinship is connected in both this world and the Hereafter. And, O people, I will be your forerunner (the one who receives you) at the Pond of Kawthar. When I am there, some men will stand up; one of them will say: 'O Messenger of Allah, I am so-and-so,' and another will say: 'O Messenger of Allah, I am so-and-so.' Then I will say: 'I have recognized you, but after me you introduced new things (into the religion) and turned back on your heels (to your former religion).'" This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The means for the people of the earth to be safe from disagreement is love of and attachment to Quraysh. Quraysh are the people of Allah and the custodians of Allah's blessings. So whenever any tribe of the Arabs opposes them, it will join the party of Iblis." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abbas bin Abd al-Muttalib (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: We would pass by a group of Quraysh while they were talking among themselves, and (on seeing us) they would stop their conversation. We mentioned this to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "What is the matter with people that when they see someone from my household, they break off their conversation?! By Allah, faith will not enter a man's heart until he loves them (my household) for the sake of Allah and because of my kinship." This hadith is also well known through the chain of Yazid bin Abi Ziyad, and since a supporting narration (shahid) for it has been found in this narration of Ibn Fudayl from al-A'mash, we have judged it to be authentic.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abbas bin Abd al-Muttalib (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: I said: O Messenger of Allah, when the Quraysh meet one another, they meet with cheerfulness and joy, but when they meet us, their faces are changed. The narrator says: On hearing this, he (peace and blessings be upon him) became intensely angry and said: "By the One in whose Hand is the soul of Muhammad, faith will not enter a man's heart until he loves you for the sake of Allah and His Messenger."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The rulers (imams) will be from Quraysh. Their righteous will be the leaders of the righteous, and their sinners will be the leaders of the sinners. Each (subject and ruler) has a right, so give everyone who has a right his right. Even if I appoint over you a mutilated-nosed Abyssinian slave as leader, listen to him and obey, as long as he does not make any of you choose between his Islam and having his neck struck (that is, force him into disbelief). If he is made to choose between (abandoning) Islam and having his neck struck, let him offer his neck, for after (the loss of) his Islam there is no worth for him in either this world or the Hereafter." Mention of the virtues of the Muhajirun.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that Sayyiduna al-Tufayl bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) said to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "Do you need a strong fortress and protection? It is the fortress of the tribe of Daws." But the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) declined, because this honor was destined for the Ansar. The narrator says: Then al-Tufayl emigrated, and a man from his people emigrated with him. That man fell ill, and, overcome by distress (or a similar word), he went to an arrowhead and cut off his finger joints with it, and he died. Then al-Tufayl saw him in a dream and asked: What happened to you? He said: I was forgiven by the blessing of my emigration to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). Al-Tufayl asked: What is the matter with your hands? He replied: I was told: We will not repair what you yourself have ruined. Al-Tufayl related this incident to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) raised both his hands and supplicated: 'Allahumma wa li-yadayhi faghfir' (O Allah, forgive his hands as well). This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.

Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates concerning this statement of Allah Almighty: "You are the best nation brought forth for mankind" [Surah Al Imran: 110] , that he said: "It refers to those who emigrated with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to Madinah." This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The Muhajirun will have pulpits of gold (on the Day of Resurrection) on which they will sit, and they will be safe from the great terror of that Day." Then Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) would say: By Allah, if I could give this virtue to anyone, I would give it to my own people (the Ansar). This hadith has a sahih (authentic) chain, but the two Shaykhs did not record it. Mention of the virtues of the people of Badr.
