3015. It was narrated that 'Aishah said: "The Quraish used to stand in Al-Muzdalifah and they called themselves Al-Hums, and the rest of the 'Arabs stood in 'Arafât. Then Allâh, Blessed and Most High, commanded His Prophet ﷺ to stand in 'Arafât, and then move on from there. Allâh, the Mighty and Sublime, revealed: 'Then depart from the place whence all the people depart.'"[1] (Sahih)
3012 - أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، قَالَ: أَنْبَأَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامٌ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: " كَانَتْ قُرَيْشٌ تَقِفُ بِالْمُزْدَلِفَةِ، وَيُسَمَّوْنَ الْحُمْسَ، وَسَائِرُ الْعَرَبِ تَقِفُ بِعَرَفَةَ، فَأَمَرَ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى نَبِيَّهُ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنْ يَقِفَ بِعَرَفَةَ، ثُمَّ يَدْفَعُ مِنْهَا، فَأَنْزَلَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ: {ثُمَّ أَفِيضُوا مِنْ حَيْثُ أَفَاضَ النَّاسُ} [البقرة: 199] "

The Quraish considered themselves distinctly superior than other Arabs, because they were the Custodians of the Ka'bah. The Ka'bah was also called Hamsa. On account of this relationship, they used to call themselves Hums, meaning we are the people of the Ka'bah, and we would, therefore, not go forth from the Ka'bah during Hajj. (Hums lexically denotes a pious man, who carefully abstains from unlawful things, while Hamsa (Al-Hamsa) which is the Ka'bah, is so called because its stones are white inclining to blackness - Lane Vol. 1, p. 643).
