Sayyiduna Abu Juhayfah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I was with my uncle in the presence of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) while he was delivering a sermon. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The affair of this Ummah will remain sound until twelve caliphs have passed." After this the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said something in a low voice. I asked my uncle, who was in front of me: "O uncle, what did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say?" He replied: (The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:) "All of them will be from Quraysh."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat and al-Mu'jam al-Kabir, and al-Bazzar recorded it; the narrators of al-Tabarani are the narrators of the Sahih.
