Jami' al-Saghir / Jam' al-Jawami' (al-Suyuti) 25163a
"لا تَقَدَّمُوا قُرَيْشًا فَتَضِلُّوا، وَلا تَأَخَّرُوا عَنْهَا فَتَضِلُّوا، خِيَارُ قُرَيْشٍ خِيَارُ النَّاسِ، وَشِرَارُ قُرَيْشٍ شِرَارُ النَّاسِ، وَالَّذِى نَفْسُ مُحَمَّد بِيَدِهِ لَوْلا أَنْ تَبْطَرَ قُرَيْشٌ لأَخْبَرْتُهَا مَا لِخَيَارِهَا عِنْدَ اللهِ، أَوْ مَالَهَا عِنْدَ اللهِ".

"Do not go ahead of Quraysh, lest you go astray, and do not lag behind them, lest you go astray. The best of Quraysh are the best of people, and the worst of Quraysh are the worst of people. By Him in whose hand is the soul of Muhammad, were it not that Quraysh would become arrogant, I would inform them of what is due to their best in the sight of Allah, or what is due to them in the sight of Allah."
