Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) says: If anyone from the Banu Umayyah rules for one year, then someone from the descendants of Sayyiduna Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) will rule for two years (or several years). A man sitting with Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Abu Hamzah, did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say this?" Sayyiduna Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Yes, just as you are here (it is likewise a fact that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said this)."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat; its chain contains Bakr bin Yunus, who is da'if (weak).
