[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The Israelites were governed by prophets. Whenever a prophet died, another prophet succeeded him. There will be no prophet after me." They asked, "So what will happen after you?" He replied, "There will be leaders, and there will be many of them." They asked, "What do you command us, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "Fulfill your allegiance to the first leader, and then the first, and give them what is their right, for indeed Allah will ask them about what is yours."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ كَانَتْ تَسُوسُهُمُ الْأَنْبِيَاءُ كُلَّمَا مَاتَ نَبِيٌّ قَامَ نَبِيٌّ وَإِنَّهُ لَيْسَ بَعْدِي نَبِيٌّ» قَالُوا فَمَا يَكُونُ بَعْدَكَ؟ قَالَ «أُمَرَاءُ وَيَكْثُرُونَ» قَالُوا مَا تَأْمُرُنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «أَوْفُوا بِبَيْعَةِ الْأَوَّلِ فَالْأَوَّلِ وَأَدُّوا إِلَيْهِمُ الَّذِي لَهُمْ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ سَائِلُهُمْ عَنِ الَّذِي لَكُمْ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The Children of Israel were ruled by prophets. Whenever a prophet died, another prophet would succeed him. There will be no prophet after me." A man asked, "What will happen after you, O Messenger of Allah?" He replied, "There will be caliphs after me, and they will be many." The man then asked, "How should we obey them, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "Give them your pledge of allegiance one after another and give them what is their right, for indeed Allah will ask them about what He has entrusted to you."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ كَانَتْ تَسُوسُهُمُ الْأَنْبِيَاءُ كُلَّمَا مَاتَ نَبِيٌّ قَامَ نَبِيٌّ وَأَنَّهُ لَيْسَ بَعْدِي نَبِيٌّ» فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مَا يَكُونُ بَعْدَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ « خُلَفَاءُ وَيَكْثُرُونَ» قَالَ فَكَيْفَ تَأْمُرُنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ «أَدُّوا بَيْعَةَ الْأَوَّلِ فَالْأَوَّلِ وَأَدُّوا إِلَيْهِمْ مَا لَهُمْ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ سَائِلُهُمْ عَنِ الَّذِي لَكُمْ»  

"عَنْ أَبِى هُرَيْرَةَ -رَضِىَ اللهُ تَعَالَى عَنْهُ- قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِنَ بَنِى إِسْرَائِيلَ كَانَتْ تَسُوسُهُمْ أَنْبِيَاؤهُمْ، كُلَّمَا ذَهَبَ نَبِىٌّ خَلَفَ نَبىٌّ، وَإنَّهُ لَيْسَ كَائِنٌ (* *) فِيكُمْ نَبِىٌّ بَعْدِى، قَالُوا: فمَا يَكُونُ يَا رَسُول الله؟ قَالَ: تَكُونُ خُلَفَاءُ فَيَكْثُرُوا، قَالُوا: فَكَيْفَ نَصْنَعُ؟ قَالَ: أَوْفُوا بَيْعَة الأَوَّلِ فَالأوَّلِ، أَدُّوَا الَّذِى عَلَيْكُمْ فَيَسأَلُهُمْ (الله) عَنِ الَّذى عَلَيْهِمْ".
