حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمٌ عَنْ زِرٍّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ”لَا تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى يَلِيَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي يُوَاطِئُ اسْمُهُ اسْمِي“ قَالَ أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا بِهِ فِي بَيْتِهِ فِي غُرْفَتِهِ أُرَاهُ سَأَلَهُ بَعْضُ وَلَدِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ يَحْيَى أَوْ يَحْيَى بْنِ خَالِدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: The Hour will not be established until a man from my Ahl al-Bayt becomes the ruler; he will have my name. Imam Ahmad said: Sufyan bin 'Uyaynah narrated this hadith to us in a room of his house when a son of Ja'far bin Yahya or Yahya bin Khalid asked him about this hadith.
