az-Zubayr bin al-'Awwam narrated that the Messenger of Allah said:
"Allah has favored Quraysh with seven special characteristics:
They worshipped Allah for ten years in which nobody but Quraysh worshipped Him;
He gave them victory on the Day of the Elephant, despite the fact that they were polytheists;
A chapter of the Qur'an was revealed about them, in which none other of the Creation was mentioned, and it is: {"For the taming of the Quraysh..."} [Quraysh; 1-4];
The Prophethood is with them;
As is the Khilafah;
The practice of cupping;
The practice of serving others food and water."
[Reported by al-Bayhaqi and Ibn 'Asakir, and it is in 'Sahih al-Jami'' (4208) and 'as-Silsilah as-Sahihah' (1944)]
Na'am, there probably are.. i think the Quraysh has more descendants than the Ansaar since there is a hadith that the Ansaar [helpers in Medina - the two tribes of Al-'Aws and Khazraj] will be like the salt in a meal (i.e. a really small amount.) And Allaah knows best.
