English translation
7139. Narrated Muḥammad bin Jubair bin Muṭ'im that while he was included in a delegation of the Quraish staying with Mu'āwiya, Mu'āwiya heard that 'Abdullāh bin 'Amr had said that there would be a king from the Qaḥṭān tribe, whereupon he became very angry. He stood up, and after glorifying and praising Allāh as He deserved, said, "Amma Ba'du (to proceed), I have come to know that some of you men are narrating things which are neither in Allāh's Book (the Qur'ān), nor have been mentioned by Allāh's Messenger ﷺ. Such people are the ignorant among you. Beware of such vain desires that mislead those who have them. I have heard Allāh's Messenger ﷺ saying, 'This matter (of the caliphate) will remain with the Quraish, and none will rebel against them but Allāh will throw him down on his face as long as they stick to the rules and regulations of the religion (Islām).'"
