حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا الْمُغِيرَةُ، عَنْ أَبِي الزِّنَادِ، عَنِ الأَعْرَجِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ ‏"‏ النَّاسُ تَبَعٌ لِقُرَيْشٍ فِي هَذَا الشَّأْنِ، مُسْلِمُهُمْ تَبَعٌ لِمُسْلِمِهِمْ، وَكَافِرُهُمْ تَبَعٌ لِكَافِرِهِمْ ‏"‏. "وَالنَّاسُ مَعَادِنُ، خِيَارُهُمْ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ خِيَارُهُمْ فِي الإِسْلاَمِ إِذَا فَقِهُوا، تَجِدُونَ مِنْ خَيْرِ النَّاسِ أَشَدَّ النَّاسِ كَرَاهِيَةً لِهَذَا الشَّأْنِ حَتَّى يَقَعَ فِيهِ

Narrator: Abu Huraira

English translation
Narrated 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-Islamic 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
বাংলা অনুবাদ
আর মানব সমাজ খণির মত। জাহিলী যুগের উত্তম ব্যক্তি ইসলাম গ্রহণের পরও উত্তম যদি তারা দ্বীনী ইল্ম অর্জন করে। তোমরা নেতৃত্ব ও শাসনের ব্যাপারে ঐ লোককেই সবচেয়ে উত্তম পাবে যে এর প্রতি অনাসক্ত, যে পর্যন্ত না সে তা গ্রহণ করে। (৩৪৯৩, মুসলিম ৩৩/১ হাঃ ১৮১৮, আহমাদ ৯১৪৩) (আধুনিক প্রকাশনীঃ ৩২৩৪, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশনঃ ৩২৪৪ শেষাংশ)
