حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْجَهْضَمِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عَوْنٍ . ح وحَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ النَّوْفَلِيُّ وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَزْهَرُ ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عَوْنٍ ، عَنْ الشَّعْبِيِّ ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ ، قَالَ : انْطَلَقْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَمَعِي أَبِي ، فَسَمِعْتُهُ ، يَقُولُ : " لَا يَزَالُ هَذَا الدِّينُ عَزِيزًا مَنِيعًا إِلَى اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ خَلِيفَةً ، فَقَالَ كَلِمَةً صَمَّنِيهَا النَّاسُ ، فَقُلْتُ لِأَبِي : مَا قَالَ ؟ ، قَالَ : كُلُّهُمْ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ " .
It has been reported on the authority of Jabir bin ahadeeth who said: I went with my father to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) (may peeace be upon him) and I heard him say: This religion would continue to remain powerful and dominant until there have been twelve Caliphs. Then he added something which I couldn't catch on account of the noise of the people. I asked my father: What did he say? My father said: He has said that all of them will be from the Quraish.
