Zaid bin Abdur Rahman bin Saeed bin Amr bin Nufail, who belonged to the Banu Adi tribe, narrates from his father. He says: I came to Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) along with some young men from the Quraysh, and at that time he had become blind. We saw that a rope was hanging from the ceiling and in front of it there were loaves of bread or pieces of bread placed. Whenever a poor person asked for food, Sayyiduna Jabir would pick up a piece, hold the rope, and with its guidance reach the poor person, hand him the piece, and then return and sit down again, guided by the rope. I said: May Allah grant you health and well-being, we could have easily handed the piece to the poor person (you could have told us, why did you trouble yourself?). He said: Actually, I went myself with the intention of earning reward, then he said: Shall I not narrate to you a hadith of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), which I myself heard from him? We said: Why not, (please do narrate). He said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Indeed, the Quraysh are trustworthy. Whoever seeks out their faults, Allah, the Exalted, will throw him down on his nostrils (face down)."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jarir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The Muhajirun will be friends of one another in this world and the Hereafter, and the freed slaves of Quraysh and Thaqif will also be friends of one another in this world and the Hereafter."

It is narrated from Sayyidah Umm Hani (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Allah Almighty has given the Quraysh superiority on account of seven qualities: (1) He gave them superiority because they worshipped Allah Almighty for ten years, only the Quraysh worshipped Him, (2) He gave them superiority because He helped them on the day of the army of the elephants, even though they were polytheists, (3) He gave them superiority because a complete Surah of the Qur'an «لايلاف قريش» was revealed about them, in which no one else is mentioned, He gave them superiority because among them are (4) Prophethood, (5) Caliphate, (6) Protection and supervision, and (7) Giving water to the pilgrims."

Abdullah bin Abu Huzail said: Some people from the tribe of Rabi’ah were sitting with Sayyiduna Amr bin Al-As (may Allah be pleased with him). A man from the tribe of Bakr bin Wa’il said: The people of the tribe of Quraysh should desist from these actions, or Allah, the Exalted, will hand over this (matter of leadership) to the majority of the Arabs or to someone else. Sayyiduna Umar (may Allah be pleased with him) said: You are lying. I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say:“The Quraysh will remain the rulers of the people in good and evil until the Day of Resurrection.”

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that people follow the Quraysh in this (matter of caliphate); the Muslim people will follow the Muslim Quraysh, and the disbelieving people will follow the disbelieving Quraysh.

The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Whoever disgraces the Quraysh, Allah will disgrace him." This hadith is narrated from Sayyiduna Uthman bin Affan, Sayyiduna Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas, Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik, and Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them).

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "People will be under the authority of the Quraysh in matters of good and evil, (that is, if the Quraysh are righteous, the people will also be righteous, and if the Quraysh are wicked, the people will also be wicked)."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jubayr bin Mut'im (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The strength of a person from the Quraysh family is twice that of a person from another family." It was said to Zuhri, "On what basis is this?" He said: "On the basis of sound judgment."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) sent a marriage proposal to a woman named Saudah, who was a mother of children. She had five or six children from her previous deceased husband. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) asked her: "What is preventing you from marrying me?" She said: "O Messenger of Allah! By Allah, you are the most beloved of all creation to me. In reality, the reason is that these children will make noise and commotion around you morning and evening, and thus your respect and honor may be disturbed." The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "Is there any other excuse besides this that is preventing you?" She said: "By Allah! There is none." Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "May Allah have mercy on you. The best women who ride on the backs of camels are the women of Quraysh, who take great care of their children in their childhood and protect the wealth and property of their husbands."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "The best women who ride camels are the righteous women of Quraysh; they are the most compassionate towards their children and the most protective of their husbands' wealth and possessions."
