Abu Huraira:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "The tribe of Quraish has precedence over the people in this connection (i.e the right
of ruling). The Muslims follow the Muslims amongst them, and the infidels follow the infidels
amongst them. People are of different natures: The best amongst them in the pre-lslamic period are the
best in Islam provided they comprehend the religious knowledge. You will find that the best amongst
the people in this respect (i.e. of ruling) is he who hates it (i.e. the idea of ruling) most, till he is given
the pledge of allegiance."
