أحمد:٢٠٩٣٩حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ حَدَّثَنِي عُبَيْدُ اللهِ الْقَوَارِيرِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمُ بْنُ أَخْضَرَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَوْنٍ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ سَمُرَةَ يَقُولُ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا يَزَالُ هَذَا الدِّينُ عَزِيزًا مَنِيعًا يُنْصَرُونَ عَلَى مَنْ نَاوَأَهُمْ عَلَيْهِ إِلَى اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ خَلِيفَةً قَالَ فَجَعَلَ النَّاسُ يَقُومُونَ وَيَقْعُدُونَ
