Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 40043 — Those who disliked going out during

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Indeed, the Children of Israel were led by their prophets; whenever a prophet departed from this world, another prophet succeeded him. And indeed, there will be no prophet among you after me." The Companions said: "What will there be, O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)?" He said: "There will be caliphs, and they will be many." The Companions said: "How should we act?" He said: "Fulfil the pledge of allegiance to the first, then to the first after him; give what is due from you, and as for what is due from them, Allah Almighty will soon ask them about it."
