أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الصَّمَدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْوَارِثِ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يَقُولُ: نا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جُحَادَةَ، عَنِ الْفُرَاتِ الْقزَّازِ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ((إِنَّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ كَانَتْ تَسُوسُهُمُ الْأَنْبِيَاءُ إِذَا مَاتَ نَبِيٌّ قَامَ نَبِيٌّ مَكَانَهُ، وَإِنَّهُ لَا نَبِيَّ بَعْدِي)) ، قَالُوا: فَمَا يَكُونُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ: ((خُلَفَاءُ وَيَكْثُرُوَا فَأَدُّوا إِلَيْهِمْ حَقَّهُمْ وَسَلُوا اللَّهَ الَّذِي لَكُمْ)) .
Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), he said: "The prophets of the Children of Israel used to lead them politically as well. Whenever a prophet passed away, another prophet would succeed him. But there will be no prophet after me." They asked: O Messenger of Allah! Then what will happen? He said: "There will be caliphs (deputies) and they will be many. Fulfill their rights, and ask Allah for your own rights."
