Commentary
Leadearship and rule was with the Quraish. The Prophet sent Mu'ād bin Jabal as a Judge and he was an Anṣārī, so the judgeship is among the Anṣār. Bilāl was an Ethiopian, so they are best Mu'adh-dhin. According to the statement of the Prophet ﷺ the Yemenis are trustworthy and intelligent people.
