وَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْأَعْلَى، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ أَبِي حَثْمَةَ ؓ قَالَ: إِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ:
تَعَلَّمُوا مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ وَلَا تُعَلِّمُوهَا، وَقَدِّمُوا قُرَيْشًا وَلَا تُؤَخِّرُوهَا، فَإِنَّ لِلْقُرَشِيِّ قُوَّةَ الرَّجُلَيْنِ مِنْ غَيْرِ قُرَيْشٍ
