[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say that the caliphate will last for thirty years, and after that it will be followed by monarchy. He said, "Hold onto the caliphate of Abu Bakr for two years, and the caliphate of Umar for ten years, and the caliphate of Uthman for twelve years, and the caliphate of Ali for six years."  

أحمد:٢١٩١٩حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ جُمْهَانَ ح وَعَبْدُ الصَّمَدِ حَدَّثَنِي حَمَّادٌ حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ جُمْهَانَ عَنْ سَفِينَةَ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ الْخِلَافَةُ ثَلَاثُونَ عَامًا ثُمَّ يَكُونُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ الْمُلْكُ قَالَ سَفِينَةُ أَمْسِكْ خِلَافَةَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ سَنَتَيْنِ وَخِلَافَةَ عُمَرَ عَشْرَ سِنِينَ وَخِلَافَةَ عُثْمَانَ اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ سَنَةً وَخِلَافَةَ عَلِيٍّ سِتَّ سِنِينَ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, "The caliphate will be among my nation for thirty years, then there will be kingship after that." Then he said to me, "Hold on to the ship." So I held on to the caliphate of Abu Bakr, the caliphate of Umar, the caliphate of Uthman, and the caliphate of Ali, may Allah be pleased with them. And I found it to be thirty years.

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «الْخِلَافَةُ بَيْنَ أُمَّتِي ثَلَاثُونَ سَنَةً ثُمَّ مُلْكٌ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ» ثُمَّ قَالَ لِي سَفِينَةُ أَمْسِكْ فَأَمْسَكْتُ خِلَافَةَ أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَخِلَافَةَ عُمَرَ وَخِلَافَةَ عُثْمَانَ وَخِلَافَةَ عَلِيٍّ ؓ فَوَجَدْتُهَا ثَلَاثِينَ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The caliphate of prophethood will last for thirty years, then Allah will give it to whomever He wills, or He will give His kingdom to whomever He wills." Sa'id said, "Abu Bakr held it for two years, and 'Umar held it for ten years, and 'Uthman held it for twelve years, and 'Ali held it for six years."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «خِلَافَةُ النُّبُوَّةِ ثَلَاثُونَ سَنَةً ثُمَّ يُؤْتِي اللهُ مَنْ يَشَاءُ أَوْ قَالَ مُلْكَهُ مَنْ يَشَاءُ» قَالَ سَعِيدٌ «أَمْسَكَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ سَنَتَيْنِ وَعُمَرُ عَشْرًا وَعُثْمَانُ ثِنْتَيْ عَشْرَةَ وَعَلِيٌّ سِتًّا»
