The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "People follow Quraysh in this matter. The best of them in the days of ignorance are the best of them in Islam, once they gain understanding of the religion. By Allah, were it not that Quraysh would grow arrogant, I would have told them what reward awaits their best ones with Allah ."
قال رسول الله ﷺ: الناس تبع لقريش في هذا الأمر، خيارهم في الجاهلية خيارهم في الإسلام إذا فقهوا، والله لولا أن تبطر قريش لأخبرتها ما لخيارها عند الله عز وجل.
