Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 8960

عَنِ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ قَالَ : كُنَّا قُعُودًا فِي الْمَسْجِدِ ، وَكَانَ بَشِيرُ رَجُلًا يَكُفُّ حَدِيثَهُ ، فَجَاءَ أَبُو ثَعْلَبَةَ الْخُشَنِيُّ فَقَالَ : يَا بَشِيرُ بْنَ سَعْدٍ أَتَحْفَظُ حَدِيثَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - فِي الْأُمَرَاءِ ؟ فَقَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ : أَنَا أَحْفَظُ خُطْبَتَهُ فَجَلَسَ أَبُو ثَعْلَبَةَ فَقَالَ حُذَيْفَةُ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " تَكُونُ النُّبُوَّةُ فِيكُمْ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ تَكُونَ ، ثُمَّ يَرْفَعُهَا إِذَا شَاءَ أَنْ يَرْفَعَهَا ، ثُمَّ تَكُونُ خِلَافَةً عَلَى مِنْهَاجِ النُّبُوَّةِ ، فَتَكُونُ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ تَكُونَ ، ثُمَّ يَرْفَعُهَا إِذَا شَاءَ [ اللَّهُ ] أَنْ يَرْفَعَهَا ، ثُمَّ تَكُونُ مُلْكًا عَاضًّا فَتَكُونُ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ تَكُونَ ، ثُمَّ يَرْفَعُهَا إِذَا شَاءَ أَنْ يَرْفَعَهَا [ ثُمَّ تَكُونُ مُلْكًا جَبْرِيَّةً ، فَتَكُونُ مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ أَنْ تَكُونَ ، ثُمَّ يَرْفَعُهَا إِذَا شَاءَ أَنْ يَرْفَعَهَا ] ، ثُمَّ تَكُونُ خِلَافَةً عَلَى مِنْهَاجِ النُبُوَّةٍ " . ثُمَّ سَكَتَ .
قَالَ حَبِيبٌ : فَلَمَّا قَامَ عُمَرُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ ، وَكَانَ يَزِيدُ بْنُ النُّعْمَانِ بْنِ بَشِيرٍ فِي صَحَابَتِهِ ، فَكَتَبْتُ إِلَيْهِ بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ أُذَكِّرُهُ إِيَّاهُ فَقُلْتُ : إِنِّي لَأَرْجُوَ أَنْ يَكُونَ أَمِيرُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ - يَعْنِي عُمَرَ - بَعْدَ الْمُلْكِ الْعَاضِّ وَالْجَبْرِيَّةِ فَأَدْخَلَ كِتَابِي عَلَى عُمَرَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ فَسُّرَ بِهِ وَأَعْجَبَهُ .
رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ فِي تَرْجَمَةِ النُّعْمَانِ ، وَالْبَزَّارُ أَتَمُّ مِنْهُ ، وَالطَّبَرَانِيُّ بِبَعْضِهِ فِي الْأَوْسَطِ وَرِجَالُهُ ثِقَاتٌ .
Sayyiduna Nu'man bin Bashir (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: We were sitting in the mosque, and Sayyiduna Bashir (may Allah be pleased with him) was a man who did not talk much. Sayyiduna Abu Tha'labah al-Khushani (may Allah be pleased with him) came and said: "O Bashir bin Sa'd, do you remember the hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about rulers?" Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) replied: "I remember the sermon of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)." So Sayyiduna Abu Tha'labah (may Allah be pleased with him) sat down, and Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) related: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Prophethood will remain among you for as long as Allah wills (that is, the Prophet will remain alive among you); then Allah Almighty will lift it when He wills. Then there will be a caliphate on the method of prophethood, and it will remain for as long as Allah wills; then when Allah Almighty wills to lift it, He will lift it. Then there will be a tenacious kingship, and it will remain for as long as Allah Almighty wills; then when Allah Almighty wills to lift it, He will lift it. Then there will be a tyrannical kingship, and it will remain for as long as Allah Almighty wills; then when Allah Almighty wills to lift it, He will lift it. Then there will come a caliphate on the method of prophethood." After that he fell silent. The narrator Habib says: When Sayyiduna Umar bin Abd al-Aziz became caliph and Yazid bin Nu'man bin Bashir was among his companions, I wrote this hadith for him and reminded him of it. I said: "I hope that this refers to none other than the Commander of the Believers, that is, Sayyiduna Umar bin Abd al-Aziz, for he has come after the tenacious and the tyrannical kingships." He read out my letter to Sayyiduna Umar bin Abd al-Aziz, who was pleased with it and liked it.
Ahmad recorded it among the narrations reported from Sayyiduna Nu'man bin Bashir (may Allah be pleased with him); al-Bazzar recorded it in a more complete form, and al-Tabarani recorded part of it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat; its narrators are thiqat (trustworthy).
