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»

[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»

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The caliphate after me in my nation will be for thirty years." He said, "So we counted and found Abu Bakr for two years, and Umar for ten, and Uthman for twelve, and Ali for six."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «الْخِلَافَةُ بَعْدِي فِي أُمَّتِي ثَلَاثُونَ سَنَةً» قَالَ فَحَسِبْنَا فَوَجَدْنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ سَنَتَيْنِ وَعُمَرُ عَشْرٍ وَعُثْمَانُ اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ وَعَلِيٌّ سِتٍّ ؓ
