Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ الْحُبَابِ حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو مَرْيَمَ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمُلْكُ فِي قُرَيْشٍ وَالْقَضَاءُ فِي الْأَنْصَارِ وَالْأَذَانُ فِي الْحَبَشَةِ وَالسُّرْعَةُ فِي الْيَمَنِ وَقَالَ زَيْدٌ مَرَّةً يَحْفَظُهُ وَالْأَمَانَةُ فِي الْأَزْدِ.
English Translation
The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: 'Authority is in Quraysh, judiciary is in the Ansar, the call to prayer is in the Abyssinians, and swiftness is in Yemen.' Zayd said on another occasion, as he remembered: 'And trustworthiness is in the Azd.'
