The Prophet ﷺ said: The Caliphate of Prophecy will last thirty years; then Allah will give the Kingdom of His Kingdom to anyone He wills. Sa'id told that Safinah said to him: Calculate Abu Bakr's caliphate as two years, 'Umar's as ten, 'Uthman's as twelve and 'Ali so and so. Sa'id said: I said to Safinah: They conceive that 'Ali was not a caliph. He replied: The buttocks of Marwan told a lie.  

أبو داود:٤٦٤٦ – حَدَّثَنَا سَوَّارُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُمْهَانَ عَنْ سَفِينَةَ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ خِلاَفَةُ النُّبُوَّةِ ثَلاَثُونَ سَنَةً ثُمَّ يُؤْتِي اللَّهُ الْمُلْكَ أَوْ مُلْكَهُ مَنْ يَشَاءُ قَالَ سَعِيدٌ قَالَ لِي سَفِينَةُ أَمْسِكْ عَلَيْكَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ سَنَتَيْنِ وَعُمَرَ عَشْرًا وَعُثْمَانَ اثْنَتَىْ عَشْرَةَ وَعَلِيٌّ كَذَا قَالَ سَعِيدٌ قُلْتُ لِسَفِينَةَ إِنَّ هَؤُلاَءِ يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّ عَلِيًّا عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ لَمْ يَكُنْ بِخَلِيفَةٍ قَالَ كَذَبَتْ أَسْتَاهُ بَنِي الزَّرْقَاءِ يَعْنِي بَنِي مَرْوَانَ

ذِكْرُ الْخَبَرِ الدَّالِّ عَلَى أَنَّ الْخَلِيفَةَ بَعْدَ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ عَفَّانَ كَانَ عَلِيَّ بْنَ أَبِي طَالِبٍ رِضْوَانُ اللَّهِ عَلَيْهِمَا وَرَحْمَتُهُ وَقَدْ فَعَلَ

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "The caliphate after me will last for thirty years, then it will become a monarchy." He said, "Hold on to the caliphate of Abu Bakr for two years, and Umar for ten years, and Uthman for twelve years, and Ali for six years." Ali bin Al-Jaad said, "I said to Hammad bin Salamah, the ship of the speaker said to hold on?" He said, "Yes."

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «الْخِلَافَةُ بَعْدِي ثَلَاثُونَ سَنَةً ثُمَّ تَكُونُ مُلْكًا» قَالَ أَمْسِكْ خِلَافَةَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ ؓ سَنَتَيْنِ وَعُمَرَ ؓ عَشْرًا وَعُثْمَانَ ؓ اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ وَعَلِيٍّ ؓ سِتًّا قَالَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ الْجَعْدِ قُلْتُ لِحَمَّادِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ سَفِينَةُ الْقَائِلُ أَمْسِكْ؟ قَالَ «نَعَمْ»
