Hadith 27:749

Al-Fadl ibn Dukayn narrated to us, from Abdullah ibn Mubashir, from Zayd ibn Abi ‘Attab, who said: Mu’awiyah stood upon the pulpit and said: The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said: "The people are followers of Quraysh in this matter; their best in the Age of Ignorance are their best in Islam, if they attain understanding (fiqh)." By Allah, were it not that Quraysh would become insolent, I would have informed them of what their best have with Allah.

حدثنا الفضل بن دكين عن عبد الله بن مبشر عن زيد بن أبي عتاب قال قام معاوية على المنبر فقال قال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم الناس تبع لقريش في هذا الأمر خيارهم في الجاهلية خيارهم في الإسلام إذا فقهوا والله لولا أن تبطر قريش لأخبرتها بما لخيارها عند الله
