[AI] I was with my father or with my son, and he mentioned the Prophet ﷺ and said, "This matter will always be precious and protected. They will be supported against those who oppose them until there are twelve caliphs." Then he spoke a word that people didn't understand, so I asked my father or my son, "What is the word that people didn't understand?" He said, "All of them are from the Quraysh."
