وَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: حَدَّثَنَا الْفَضْلُ بْنُ دُكَيْنٍ، ثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُبَشِّرٍ، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَبِي عَتَّابٍ، قَالَ:
قَامَ مُعَاوِيَةُ عَلَى الْمِنْبَرِ فَقَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: النَّاسُ تَبَعٌ لِقُرَيْشٍ فِي هَذَا الْأَمْرِ، خِيَارُهُمْ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ خِيَارُهُمْ فِي الْإِسْلَامِ إِذَا فَقُهُوا، وَلَوْلَا أَنْ تَبْطَرَ قُرَيْشٌ لَأَخْبَرْتُهَا بِمَا لَهَا عِنْدَ اللهِ.

✧ Mu'awiya stood on the pulpit and said: "I heard the Messenger of God ﷺ say: 'People are followers of Quraysh in this matter, their best in the pre-Islamic era are their best in Islam if they gain understanding. Were it not that Quraysh would become arrogant, I would have told them what they have with God.'"
