حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ ، عَنْ دَاوُدَ ، عَنْ الشَّعْبِيِّ ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ ، قَالَ : قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " لَا يَزَالُ هَذَا الْأَمْرُ عَزِيزًا إِلَى اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ خَلِيفَةً ، قَالَ : ثُمَّ تَكَلَّمَ بِشَيْءٍ لَمْ أَفْهَمْهُ ، فَقُلْتُ لِأَبِي : مَا قَالَ ؟ ، فَقَالَ : كُلُّهُمْ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ " .
It has been narrated on the authority of Jabir bin ahadeeth that the Holy Prophet (ﷺ) said: This order will continue to be dominant until there have been twelve Caliphs. The narrator says: Then he said something which I could not understand, and I said to my father: What did he say? My father told me that he said that all of them (Caliphs) would be from the Quraish.
