(حديث مرفوع) حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ، عَنِ الْمُجَالِدِ ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ ، قَالَ : كُنَّا جُلُوسًا عِنْدَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ ، وَهُوَ يُقْرِئُنَا الْقُرْآنَ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ : يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، هَلْ سَأَلْتُمْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : كَمْ تَمْلِكُ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةُ مِنْ خَلِيفَةٍ ؟ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ : مَا سَأَلَنِي عَنْهَا أَحَدٌ مُنْذُ قَدِمْتُ الْعِرَاقَ قَبْلَكَ ، ثُمَّ قَالَ : نَعَمْ ، وَلَقَدْ سَأَلْنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : " اثْنَا عَشَرَ ، كَعِدَّةِ نُقَبَاءِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ " .
Masruq (may Allah have mercy on him) says that we were sitting with Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) and he was teaching us the Qur'an. In the meantime, a man came and said: O Abu Abdur Rahman! Did you people ask the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) how many caliphs there will be in this Ummah? Sayyiduna Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) replied: Since I have come to Iraq, no one before you has asked me this question until today. Then he said: Yes! We did ask the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) this question, and he (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "There will be twelve caliphs, like the number of chiefs of Bani Israel."
