Hazrat Jabir bin Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say, "There will be twelve leaders (amirs) in my ummah." Then he said something which I did not hear. Later, my father informed me that he (the Prophet) said, "All of them will be from the Quraysh."
