Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 8954

It is reported about Abu Mu'awiyah that he used to say: "I have a hadith; if I wished, I could gain the world through it, but Allah Almighty will not question me about a hadith that I took to the ruler." My father said: "Which narration is that?" He said: "When Imam Zayd rose in revolt, the next morning I came to my maternal aunt and said to her: 'O mother, Imam Zayd has risen in revolt.' She said: 'This poor man will be killed just as his forefathers were killed.' I said to her: 'People of standing have also gone out with him.' She said: 'I was with Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her), the wife of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the people mentioned the caliphate. Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: Once we were with the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the people mentioned the caliphate after him and said: (The caliphate will go to) the descendants of Sayyidah Fatimah (may Allah be pleased with her). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: They will never reach it; rather, the caliphate will be among the descendants of my uncle, who is the full brother of my father, until they hand it (that is, the rule) over to the Dajjal.'"
Al-Tabarani recorded it; its chain contains a group of narrators whom I do not know.
