1208 صحيح حديث أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ: كَانَتْ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ تَسُوسُهُمُ الأَنْبِيَاءُ، كَلَّمَا هَلَكَ نَبِيٌّ خَلَفَهُ نَبِيٌّ، وَإِنَّهُ لاَ نَبِيَّ بَعْدِي، وَسَيَكُون خُلَفَاءُ فَيَكْثُرُونَ قَالُوا: فَمَا تَأْمُرُنَا قَالَ: فُوا بِبَيْعَةِ فَالأَوَّلِ، أَعْطُوهُمْ حَقَّهُمْ، فَإِنَّ اللهَ سَائِلُهُمْ عَمَّا اسْتَرْعَاهُمْ
Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The prophets of Bani Israel used to also provide political leadership to them. Whenever a prophet passed away, another would take his place. But remember, there will be no prophet after me. Yes, there will be my deputies, and there will be many of them. The companions asked, "What do you command us regarding them?" He said: Fulfill your pledge of allegiance to the first one you give it to, and remain loyal to him. Do not fall short in giving them their due rights, because Allah Almighty will question them about their subjects on the Day of Resurrection.
