ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ الْمُصْطَفَى ﷺ أَرَادَ بِقَوْلِهِ: «يَكُونُ بَعْدِي اثْنَا عَشَرَ خَلِيفَةً»، أَنَّ الْإِسْلَامَ يَكُونُ عَزِيزًا فِي أَيَّامِهِمْ لَا أَنَّهُ أَرَادَ بِهِ نَفْيَ مَا وَرَاءَ هَذَا الْعَدَدِ مِنَ الْخُلَفَاءِ
I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: Islam will continue to be triumphant until there have been twelve Caliphs. Then the Prophet ﷺ said something which I could not understand. I asked my father: What did he say? He said: He has said that all of them (twelve Caliphs) will be from the Quraish. (Using translation from Muslim 1821d)
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «لَا يَزَالُ الْإِسْلَامُ عَزِيزًا إِلَى اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ خَلِيفَةً» قَالَ فَقَالَ كَلِمَةً لَمْ أَفْهَمْهَا قُلْتُ لِأَبِي مَا قَالَ؟ قَالَ «كُلُّهُمْ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ»
