عَنْ ذِي مِخْمَرٍ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ كَانَ هَذَا الْأَمْرُ فِي حِمْيَرَ فَنَزَعَهُ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ مِنْهُمْ فَجَعَلَهُ فِي قُرَيْشٍ وَسَيَعُودُ إِلَيْهِمْ وَكَذَا كَانَ فِي كِتَابِ أَبِي مُقَطَّعٌ وَحَيْثُ حَدَّثَنَا بِهِ تَكَلَّمَ عَلَى الْإِسْتَوَاءِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Dhu Makhmar (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: This (matter of caliphate and kingship) was with the tribe of Himyar, Allah Almighty took it from them and entrusted it to the Quraysh, soon this matter will return to them. Abdullah, the narrator, says: In my father's book, the last words were in a disjointed form, but when he narrated them to us, he read them continuously (just as he read the rest of the hadith).
