Al-Matalib al-'Aliyah 4484 — The Mahdi and other just caliphs
اُردوEn
قَالَ مُسَدَّدٌ : حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى ، عَنْ أَبِي يُونُسَ ، ثَنَا أَبُو بَحْرٍ ، أَنَّ أَبَا الْجَلْدِ حَدَّثَهُ ، وَحَلَفَ عَلَيْهِ : أَنَّهُ لَا تَهْلِكُ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةُ حَتَّى يَكُونَ فِيهَا اثْنَا عَشَرَ خَلِيفَةً ، كُلُّهُمْ يَعْمَلُ بِالْهُدَى وَدِينِ الْحَقِّ ، مِنْهُمْ رَجُلَانِ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَعِيشُ أَحَدُهُمَا أَرْبَعِينَ سَنَةً ، وَالْآخَرُ ثَلَاثِينَ سَنَةً ، وَيَكُونُ خُلَفَاءُ بَعْدَهُمْ لَيْسُوا مِنْهُمْ .
It is narrated from Abu al-Jald (may Allah have mercy on him) that he narrated this and swore an oath on it, saying: "This Ummah will certainly not perish until twelve caliphs have passed in it, all of whom will act according to guidance and the religion of truth. Of these twelve, two men will be from the household (Ahl al-Bayt) of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him); one of them will live (managing the affairs of the caliphate) for forty years and the other for thirty years. And after them there will also be caliphs who will not be on the way of those (rightly guided caliphs)."
Imam Musaddad bin Musarhad recorded this narration in his Musnad. Its narrator is Abu al-Jald Jaylan bin Jami' al-Basri, a trustworthy (thiqah) Successor who was an expert in the knowledge of the earlier scriptures; for this reason he swore an oath on this prophecy, which in his view was established from his study of the earlier revealed books.
