In gratitude for the security of Quraysh - Quran [106:1]

Umm Hani’ bint Abi Talib who reported that the Prophet, Allah bless him and give him peace, said:

“Allah has favoured the Quraysh with seven characteristics which he has never given to anyone before them and will never give to anyone after them:
The post of the Caliph (al-Khilafah) is given to one among them, the custody of the Sacred House (al-Hijabah) is assumed by someone from amongst them, giving water to the pilgrims (al-Siqayah) during Hajj is undertaken by someone amongst them, prophethood is given to someone amongst them, they were given victory over the army of elephants, they worshipped Allah for seven years during which none worshipped Him, and a Surah has been revealed about them in which none but them was mentioned (For the taming of Quraysh…)”.
