I heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, "There will be twelve Muslim rulers (who will rule all the Islamic world)." He then said a sentence which I did not hear. My father said, "All of them (those rulers) will be from Quraish."  

سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ يَكُونُ اثْنَا عَشَرَ أَمِيرًا فَقَالَ كَلِمَةً لَمْ أَسْمَعْهَا فَقَالَ أَبِي إِنَّهُ قَالَ كُلُّهُمْ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ  

I joined the company of the Prophet ﷺ with my father and I heard him say: This Caliphate will not end until there have been twelve Caliphs among them. The narrator said: Then he (the Holy Prophet) said something that I could not follow. I said to my father: What did he say? He said: He has said: All of them will be from the Quraish.  

دَخَلْتُ مَعَ أَبِي عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ إِنَّ هَذَا الأَمْرَ لاَ يَنْقَضِي حَتَّى يَمْضِيَ فِيهِمُ اثْنَا عَشَرَ خَلِيفَةً قَالَ ثُمَّ تَكَلَّمَ بِكَلاَمٍ خَفِيَ عَلَىَّ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لأَبِي مَا قَالَ قَالَ كُلُّهُمْ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ  

I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: The affairs of the people will continue to be conducted (well) as long as they are governed by twelve men. Then the Prophet ﷺ said words which were obscure to me. I asked my father: What did the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say? He said: All of the (twelve men) will be from the Quraish.  

سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ لاَ يَزَالُ أَمْرُ النَّاسِ مَاضِيًا مَا وَلِيَهُمُ اثْنَا عَشَرَ رَجُلاً ثُمَّ تَكَلَّمَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ بِكَلِمَةٍ خَفِيَتْ عَلَىَّ فَسَأَلْتُ أَبِي مَاذَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ كُلُّهُمْ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ  

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.  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لاَ يَزَالُ الإِسْلاَمُ عَزِيزًا إِلَى اثْنَىْ عَشَرَ خَلِيفَةً ثُمَّ قَالَ كَلِمَةً لَمْ أَفْهَمْهَا فَقُلْتُ لأَبِي مَا قَالَ فَقَالَ كُلُّهُمْ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ  

This order will continue to be dominant until there have been twelve Caliphs. The narrator says: Then he said something which I could not understand, and I said to my father: What did he say? My father told me that he said that all of them (Caliphs) would be from the Quraish.  

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ لاَ يَزَالُ هَذَا الأَمْرُ عَزِيزًا إِلَى اثْنَىْ عَشَرَ خَلِيفَةً قَالَ ثُمَّ تَكَلَّمَ بِشَىْءٍ لَمْ أَفْهَمْهُ فَقُلْتُ لأَبِي مَا قَالَ فَقَالَ كُلُّهُمْ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ  

I went with my father to the Messenger of Allah (may peeace be upon him) and I heard him say: This religion would continue to remain powerful and dominant until there have been twelve Caliphs. Then he added something which I couldn't catch on account of the noise of the people. I asked my father: What did he say? My father said: He has said that all of them will be from the Quraish.  

انْطَلَقْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَمَعِي أَبِي فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ لاَ يَزَالُ هَذَا الدِّينُ عَزِيزًا مَنِيعًا إِلَى اثْنَىْ عَشَرَ خَلِيفَةً فَقَالَ كَلِمَةً صَمَّنِيهَا النَّاسُ فَقُلْتُ لأَبِي مَا قَالَ قَالَ كُلُّهُمْ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ  

I wrote (a letter) to Jabir b. Samura and sent it to him through my servant Nafi', asking him to inform me of something he had heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He wrote to me (in reply): I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say on Friday evening, the day on which al-Aslami was stoned to death (for committing adultery): The Islamic religion will continue until the Hour has been established, or you have been ruled over by twelve Caliphs, all of them being from the Quraish. also heard him say: A small force of the Muslims will capture the white palace, the police of the Persian Emperor or his descendants.

I also heard him say: Before the Day of Judgment there will appear (a number of) impostors. You are to guard against them. I also heard him say: When God grants wealth to any one of you, he should first spend it on himself and his family (and then give it in charity to the poor). I heard him (also) say: I will be your forerunner at the Cistern (expecting your arrival).  

أَنْ أَخْبِرْنِي بِشَىْءٍ سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ فَكَتَبَ إِلَىَّ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمَ جُمُعَةٍ عَشِيَّةَ رُجِمَ الأَسْلَمِيُّ يَقُولُ لاَ يَزَالُ الدِّينُ قَائِمًا حَتَّى تَقُومَ السَّاعَةُ أَوْ يَكُونَ عَلَيْكُمُ اثْنَا عَشَرَ خَلِيفَةً كُلُّهُمْ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ وَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ عُصَيْبَةٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ يَفْتَتِحُونَ الْبَيْتَ الأَبْيَضَ بَيْتَ كِسْرَى أَوْ آلِ كِسْرَى

وَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ إِنَّ بَيْنَ يَدَىِ السَّاعَةِ كَذَّابِينَ فَاحْذَرُوهُمْ وَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ إِذَا أَعْطَى اللَّهُ أَحَدَكُمْ خَيْرًا فَلْيَبْدَأْ بِنَفْسِهِ وَأَهْلِ بَيْتِهِ وَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ أَنَا الْفَرَطُ عَلَى الْحَوْضِ  

The Prophet ﷺ said: The religion will continue to be established till there are twelve caliphs over you, and the whole community will agree on each of them. I then heard from the Prophet ﷺ some remarks which I could not understand. I asked my father: What is he saying: He said: all of them will belong to Quraysh.  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لاَ يَزَالُ هَذَا الدِّينُ قَائِمًا حَتَّى يَكُونَ عَلَيْكُمُ اثْنَا عَشَرَ خَلِيفَةً كُلُّهُمْ تَجْتَمِعُ عَلَيْهِ الأُمَّةُ فَسَمِعْتُ كَلاَمًا مِنَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ لَمْ أَفْهَمْهُ قُلْتُ لأَبِي مَا يَقُولُ قَالَ كُلُّهُمْ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ  

I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: This religion will continue to be strong till the time of twelve caliphs. The people then uttered: Allah is more great and uproared. He then silently a word which I could not understand. So I said to my father: What did he say, father ? He said: All of them will belong to Quraish.  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لاَ يَزَالُ هَذَا الدِّينُ عَزِيزًا إِلَى اثْنَىْ عَشَرَ خَلِيفَةً قَالَ فَكَبَّرَ النَّاسُ وَضَجُّوا ثُمَّ قَالَ كَلِمَةً خَفِيَّةً قُلْتُ لأَبِي يَا أَبَةِ مَا قَالَ قَالَ كُلُّهُمْ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ  

'There will be twelve Amir after me."' He said: "Then he said something that I did not understand. So I asked the one who was next to me, who said that he ﷺ had said: 'All of them are from Quraish."'  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَكُونُ مِنْ بَعْدِي اثْنَا عَشَرَ أَمِيرًا قَالَ ثُمَّ تَكَلَّمَ بِشَيْءٍ لَمْ أَفْهَمْهُ فَسَأَلْتُ الَّذِي يَلِينِي فَقَالَ قَالَ كُلُّهُمْ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ  

[Machine] There was a man who said, "O Abu Abdullah! Did you ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ how many caliphs this Ummah would have?" Abdullah replied, "No one has asked me about it since I came to Iraq before you." Then he said, "Yes, we did ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he said there would be twelve caliphs, similar to the number of heads of the Bani Israel."  

لَهُ رَجُلٌ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ هَلْ سَأَلْتُمْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَمْ تَمْلِكُ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةُ مِنْ خَلِيفَةٍ؟ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ مَا سَأَلَنِي عَنْهَا أَحَدٌ مُنْذُ قَدِمْتُ الْعِرَاقَ قَبْلَكَ ثُمَّ قَالَ نَعَمْ وَلَقَدْ سَأَلْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ اثْنَا عَشَرَ كَعِدَّةِ نُقَبَاءِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "This matter will continue till there are twelve Caliphs over you, and then he said something I did not remember. I asked my father what Allah's Messenger ﷺ had said. He replied: 'All of them will be from the Quraish tribe.'"  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَا يَزَالُ هَذَا الْأَمْرُ مَاضِيًا حَتَّى يَقُومَ اثْنَا عَشَرَ أَمِيرًا ثُمَّ تَكَلَّمَ بِكَلِمَةٍ خَفِيَتْ عَلَيَّ سَأَلْتُ أَبِي مَا قَالَ؟ قَالَ كُلُّهُمْ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ  

[Machine] I heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, "This Ummah (nation) will have twelve successors."  

سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ يَكُونُ لِهَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ اثْنَا عَشَرَ خَلِيفَةً  

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 اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَا يَزَالُ الْإِسْلَامُ عَزِيزًا إِلَى اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ خَلِيفَةً ثُمَّ قَالَ كَلِمَةً خَفِيَّةً لَمْ أَفْهَمْهَا قَالَ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي مَا قَالَ؟ قَالَ كُلُّهُمْ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "This matter (Islam) will continue to exist and stay strong until there are twelve caliphs, all of whom are from the Quraysh tribe."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا يَزَالُ هَذَا الْأَمْرُ مُوَائِمًا أَوْ مُقَارِبًا حَتَّى يَقُومَ اثْنَا عَشَرَ خَلِيفَةً كُلُّهُمْ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ  

[Machine] I and my father came to the Prophet ﷺ while he was saying, "This matter will continue to be good until there are twelve leaders." Then he said a word that I did not understand, so I asked my father, "What did he say?" He said, "He said, 'All of them will be from Quraysh.'"  

جِئْتُ أَنَا وَأَبِي إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ لَا يَزَالُ هَذَا الْأَمْرُ صَالِحًا حَتَّى يَكُونَ اثْنَا عَشَرَ أَمِيرًا ثُمَّ قَالَ كَلِمَةً لَمْ أَفْهَمْهَا قُلْتُ لِأَبِي مَا قَالَ؟ قَالَ قَالَ كُلُّهُمْ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "After me, there will be twelve leaders." Then he spoke something which I could not understand. He said, so I asked someone who was with me, "What did he say?" He said, "All of them are from the Quraysh."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ يَكُونُ بَعْدِي اثْنَا عَشَرَ أَمِيرًا قَالَ ثُمَّ تَكَلَّمَ فَخَفِيَ عَلَيَّ مَا قَالَ قَالَ فَسَأَلْتُ بَعْضَ الْقَوْمِ أَوِ الَّذِي يَلِينِي مَا قَالَ؟ قَالَ كُلُّهُمْ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ  

[Machine] From the hadith of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he said: The religion will continue to exist until there are twelve caliphs from the Quraysh. Then, liars will appear before the Hour comes. Then, a group of Muslims will come out and bring out the treasure of the white palace. They will defeat the Persians and the descendants of the Persians. And when Allah bestows goodness upon one of you, let them begin with themselves and their family. And I am the one who will be at the forefront on the Day of Resurrection.  

عَنْ حَدِيثِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا يَزَالُ الدِّينُ قَائِمًا حَتَّى يَكُونَ اثْنَا عَشَرَ خَلِيفَةً مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُ كَذَّابُونَ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ السَّاعَةِ ثُمَّ تَخْرُجُ عِصَابَةٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَيَسْتَخْرِجُونَ كَنْزَ الْأَبْيَضِ كِسْرَى وَآلِ كِسْرَى وَإِذَا أَعْطَى اللهُ أَحَدَكُمْ خَيْرًا فَلْيَبْدَأْ بِنَفْسِهِ وَأَهْلِهِ وَأَنَا فَرَطُكُمْ عَلَى الْحَوْضِ  

[Machine] " I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say during his farewell pilgrimage: 'Verily, this religion will always remain apparent and no one will harm it by opposing or deviating from it until twelve caliphs have passed from my Ummah.' Then he said something that I did not understand, so I asked my father, 'What did he say?' He replied, 'All of them will be from the Quraysh.'"  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ فِي حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ إِنَّ هَذَا الدِّينَ لَنْ يَزَالَ ظَاهِرًا عَلَى مَنْنَاوَأَهُ لَا يَضُرُّهُ مُخَالِفٌ وَلَا مُفَارِقٌ حَتَّى يَمْضِيَ مِنْ أُمَّتِي اثْنَا عَشَرَ خَلِيفَةً قَالَ ثُمَّ تَكَلَّمَ بِشَيْءٍ لَمْ أَفْهَمْهُ فَقُلْتُ لِأَبِي مَا قَالَ؟ قَالَ كُلُّهُمْ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ  

[Machine] I heard Prophet Muhammad ﷺ saying: "There will be twelve leaders." Then he said a word that I did not hear. Then the people said, "They are all from Quraysh."

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , or he said, the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, "There will be twelve caliphs after me, all of them from Quraysh." He then returned to his house and Quraysh came to him and asked, "Then what will happen?" He said, "Then there will be turmoil."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَوْ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَكُونُ بَعْدِي اثْنَا عَشَرَ خَلِيفَةً كُلُّهُمْ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ قَالَ ثُمَّ رَجَعَ إِلَى مَنْزِلِهِ فَأَتَتْهُ قُرَيْشٌ فَقَالُوا ثُمَّ يَكُونُ مَاذَا؟ قَالَ ثُمَّ يَكُونُ الْهَرْجُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ delivered a sermon to us and said, "Verily, this religion will continue to be strong until the time of the twelve caliphs." Then the Messenger of Allah ﷺ spoke a word that I did not understand, and the people became noisy. So, I asked my father, "What did he say?" He said, "They are all from the Quraysh tribe."  

خَطَبَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنَّ هَذَا الدِّينَ لَا يَزَالُ عَزِيزًا إِلَى اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ خَلِيفَةً قَالَ ثُمَّ تَكَلَّمَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِكَلِمَةٍ لَمْ أَفْهَمْهَا وَضَجَّ النَّاسُ فَقُلْتُ لِأَبِي مَا قَالَ؟ قَالَ كُلُّهُمْ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ delivered a sermon to us at Arafat, saying, "This matter will remain strong and protected, evident against those who oppose it, until twelve individuals take control of it." I did not understand what comes after that, so I asked my father, "What comes after all of them?" He said, "They will all be from the Quraysh tribe."  

خَطَبَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِعَرَفَاتٍ فَقَالَ لَا يَزَالُ هَذَا الْأَمْرُ عَزِيزًا مَنِيعًا ظَاهِرًا عَلَى مَنْ نَاوَأَهُ حَتَّى يَمْلِكَ اثْنَا عَشَرَ كُلُّهُمْ قَالَ فَلَمْ أَفْهَمْ مَا بَعْدُ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لِأَبِي مَا بَعْدَ كُلُّهُمْ ؟ قَالَ كُلُّهُمْ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ delivered a sermon to us at Arafat, and he said, "This religion will continue to be powerful, impregnable, and apparent to whoever practices it. It will not harm those who abandon it or disobey it until it is dominant among twelve of them, all from the Quraysh tribe, or as he said."  

خَطَبَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِعَرَفَةَ فَقَالَ لَنْ يَزَالَ هَذَا الدِّينُ عَزِيزًا مَنِيعًا ظَاهِرًا عَلَى مَنْ نَاوَأَهُ لَا يَضُرُّهُ مَنْ فَارَقَهُ أَوْ خَالَفَهُ حَتَّى يَمْلِكَ اثْنَا عَشَرَ كُلُّهُمْ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ أَوْ كَمَا قَالَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ delivered a sermon to us at Arafat and said, "This matter will continue to be revered and protected, apparent to those who approach it, until twelve people from Quraysh gain control over it." I did not understand what came afterwards, so I asked my father, "What comes after all of them?" He said, "All of them will be from Quraysh."  

خَطَبَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِعَرَفَاتٍ فَقَالَ لَنْ يَزَالَ هَذَا الْأَمْرُ عَزِيزًا مَنِيعًا ظَاهِرًا عَلَى مَنْ نَاوَأَهُ حَتَّى يَمْلِكَ اثْنَا عَشَرَ كُلُّهُمْ قَالَ فَلَمْ أَفْهَمْ مَا بَعْدُ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لِأَبِي مَا بَعْدَ كُلُّهُمْ ؟ قَالَ كُلُّهُمْ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ لَا يَزَالُ هَذَا الْأَمْرُ عَزِيزًا مَنِيعًا يُنْصَرُونَ عَلَى مَنْ نَاوَأَهُمْ عَلَيْهِ إِلَى اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ خَلِيفَةً ثُمَّ قَالَ كَلِمَةً أَصَمَّنِيهَا النَّاسُ فَقُلْتُ لِأَبِي مَا قَالَ؟ قَالَ كُلُّهُمْ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ

Jabir ibn Samurah also narrated another hadith from his father.  

كُنْتُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ «لَا يَزَالُ أَمْرُ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ ظَاهِرًا حَتَّى يَقُومَ اثْنَا عَشَرَ خَلِيفَةً» وَقَالَ كَلِمَةً خَفِيَتْ عَلَيَّ وَكَانَ أَبِي أَدْنَى إِلَيْهِ مَجْلِسًا مِنِّي فَقُلْتُ مَا قَالَ؟ قَالَ «كُلُّهُمْ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ» وَقَدْ رَوَى جَابِرُ بْنُ سَمُرَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ حَدِيثًا آخَرَ  

[Machine] I was with my uncle in the presence of the Prophet ﷺ and he said, "The affair of my Ummah (nation) will continue to be righteous as long as there are twelve caliphs." Then he said a word and lowered his voice with it. So, I asked my uncle, who was in front of me, what did he say, O uncle? He said, "He said, O my son, 'All of them will be from Quraysh.'"  

كُنْتُ مَعَ عَمِّي عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «لَا يَزَالُ أَمْرُ أُمَّتِي صَالِحًا حَتَّى يَمْضِيَ اثْنَا عَشَرَ خَلِيفَةً» ثُمَّ قَالَ كَلِمَةً وَخَفَضَ بِهَا صَوْتَهُ فَقُلْتُ لِعَمِّي وَكَانَ أَمَامِي مَا قَالَ يَا عَمُّ؟ قَالَ قَالَ يَا بُنَيَّ «كُلُّهُمْ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "The caliphate will last for thirty years, and the rest of them will be kings. The caliphs and the kings will be twelve."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «الْخِلَافَةُ ثَلَاثُونَ سَنَةً وَسَائِرُهُمْ مُلُوكٌ وَالْخُلَفَاءُ وَالْمُلُوكُ اثْنَا عَشَرَ»  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "There will be twelve caliphs after me, all of them from the Quraysh." When he returned to his house, people from the Quraysh came to him and asked, "And then what will happen?" He said, "And then there will be strife."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «يَكُونُ بَعْدِي اثْنَا عَشَرَ خَلِيفَةً كُلُّهُمْ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ» فَلَمَّا رَجَعَ إِلَى مَنْزِلِهِ أَتَتْهُ قُرَيْشٌ قَالُوا ثُمَّ يَكُونُ مَاذَا؟ قَالَ «ثُمَّ يَكُونُ الْهَرْجُ»  

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»  

[Machine] We were sitting with Abdullah bin Mas'ood when a man asked him, "O Abu Abdullah, did you ask your prophet ﷺ how many caliphs would this ummah have?" Ibn Mas'ood replied, "No one has asked me about it since I arrived in Iraq before you did. We asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he said, 'The caliphs of the Children of Israel were twelve in number.'" The wording is from a narration by Hujjaj.  

كُنَّا جُلُوسًا عِنْدَ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ فَسَأَلَهُ رَجُلٌ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ هَلْ سَأَلْتُمْ نَبِيَّكُمْ ﷺ كَمْ يَمْلِكُ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةَ مِنْ خَلِيفَةٍ؟ فَقَالَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ مَا سَأَلَنِي عَنْهَا أَحَدٌ مُنْذُ قَدِمْتُ الْعِرَاقَ قَبْلَكَ سَأَلْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «اثْنَا عَشَرَ عِدَّةُ نُقَبَاءِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ» وَاللَّفْظُ لِحَدِيثِ حَجَّاجٍ  

[Machine] I was with my uncle in the presence of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was delivering a sermon. He said, "The affairs of my Ummah will continue to be righteous as long as twelve caliphs pass." He lowered his voice with this statement, so I asked my uncle who was in front of me, "What did he say, uncle?" He replied, "O my son, all of them will be from the Quraysh."  

كُنْتُ مَعَ عَمِّي عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ يَخْطُبُ فَقَالَ «لَا تَزَالُ أَمْرُ أُمَّتِي صَالِحًا حَتَّى يَمْضِيَ اثْنَا عَشَرَ خَلِيفَةً» وَخَفَضَ بِهَا صَوْتَهُ فَقُلْتُ لِعَمِّي وَكَانَ أَمَامِي مَا قَالَ يَا عَمِّ؟ قَالَ يَا بُنَيَّ كُلُّهُمْ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ  

I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: This religion will continue to be strong till the time of twelve caliphs. The people then uttered: Allah is more great and uproared. He then silently a word which I could not understand. So I said to my father: What did he say, father ? He said: All of them will belong to Quraish. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 4280)   

سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ «لَا يَزَالُ هَذَا الدِّينُ عَزِيزًا مَنِيعًا إِلَى اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ خَلِيفَةً» فَقَالَ كَلِمَةً فَقُلْتُ لِأَبِي مَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَ «كُلُّهُمْ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ delivered a sermon one day, and I heard him say, "This religion will always be strong, preventing anyone who opposes it, until twelve will rule it, all of them from Quraysh." Then the people became confused and started discussing, and I did not understand what he meant by "all of them". So I asked my father, "Oh my father, what did he mean by 'all of them'?" He said, "All of them will be from Quraysh."  

خَطَبَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمًا فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ «لَنْ يَزَالَ هَذَا الدِّينُ عَزِيزًا مَنِيعًا ظَاهِرًا عَلَى مَنْ نَاوَأَهُ حَتَّى يَمْلِكَ اثْنَا عَشَرَ كُلُّهُمْ» ثُمَّ لَغَطَ النَّاسُ وَتَكَلَّمُوا فَلَمْ أَفْهَمْ قَوْلَهُ بَعْدَ كُلُّهُمْ فَقُلْتُ لِأَبِي يَا أَبَتَاهُ مَا بَعْدَ قَوْلِهِ كُلُّهُمْ؟ قَالَ «كُلُّهُمْ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ»  

[Machine] I was with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and I heard him say, "The matter of this nation will remain apparent until there are twelve (caliphs)." And he said a word that I did not hear, and my father was closer to him in the gathering than me. So I asked, "What did he say?" He said, "All of them will be from Quraysh."  

كُنْتُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ «لَا يَزَالُ أَمْرُ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ ظَاهِرًا حَتَّى يَقُومَ اثْنَا عَشَرَ» وَقَالَ كَلِمَةً خَفِيَتْ عَلَيَّ وَكَانَ أَبِي أَدْنَى إِلَيْهِ مَجْلِسًا مِنِّي فَقُلْتُ مَا قَالَ؟ قَالَ «كُلُّهُمْ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ»  

[Machine] I went to the Prophet with my father, and the Messenger of Allah said, "This nation will remain upright in its affair until there are twelve caliphs." Then he said a whispered word, and I asked my father what he said. He said, "All of them will be from Quraish."  

انْتَهَيْتُ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ مَعَ أَبِي فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَا يَزَالُ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةُ مُسْتَقِيمٌ أَمْرُهَا حَتَّى يَكُونَ اثْنَا عَشَرَ خَلِيفَةً» ثُمَّ قَالَ كَلِمَةً خَفِيَّةً فَقُلْتُ لِأَبِي مَا قَالَ؟ قَالَ «كُلُّهُمْ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ»  

[Machine] I came with my father to the mosque and the Prophet ﷺ was delivering a sermon. I heard him say, "There will be twelve successors after me." Then he lowered his voice and I couldn't catch what he was saying. So, I asked my father, "What was he saying?" He replied, "All of them will be from the Quraysh tribe."  

جِئْتُ مَعَ أَبِي إِلَى الْمَسْجِدِ وَالنَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَخْطُبُ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ «يَكُونُ مِنْ بَعْدِي اثْنَا عَشَرَ خَلِيفَةً» ثُمَّ خَفَضَ صَوْتَهُ فَلَمْ أَدْرِ مَا يَقُولُ فَقُلْتُ لِأَبِي مَا يَقُولُ؟ قَالَ «كُلُّهُمْ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ»  

[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say during the Farewell Pilgrimage, "The affairs of this Ummah will continue to be stable for those who adhere to it, until there are twelve leaders among you." Then he said something I did not hear, so I asked my father, who was closer to him than me, what did he say? He said he said, "All of them will be from Quraish."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فِي حَجَّةِ الْوَدَاعِ يَقُولُ «لَا يَزَالُ أَمْرُ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ هَادِئًا عَلَى مَنْ نَاوَأَها حَتَّى يَكُونَ عَلَيْكُمِ اثْنَا عَشَرَ أَمِيرًا» ثُمَّ تَكَلَّمَ بِكَلِمَةٍ لَمْ أَسْمَعْهَا فَسَأَلْتُ أَبِي وَكَانَ أَقْرَبَ إِلَيْهِ مِنِّي مَا قَالَ؟ قَالَ قَالَ «كُلُّهُم مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , said, "The religion will continue to be established until there are twelve caliphs from the Quraysh, then there will emerge liars before the Hour."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَا يَزَالُ الدِّينُ قَائِمًا حَتَّى يَكُونَ اثْنَا عَشَرَ خَلِيفَةً مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُ كَذَّابُونَ بَيْنَ يَدَيِ السَّاعَةِ»  

[Machine] "I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say, 'The religion will continue to stand until the Day of Judgment, or until there are twelve caliphs, all of them from the Quraysh.'"  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «لَا يَزَالُ الدِّينُ قَائِمًا حَتَّى تَقُومَ السَّاعَةُ أَوْ يَكُونَ اثْنَا عَشَرَ خَلِيفَةً كُلُّهُمْ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ»  

[Machine] I entered with my father to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and sat with him, and he said, "Islam will continue to be apparent until there are twelve princes or caliphs, all of them from Quraysh."  

دَخَلْتُ مَعَ أَبِي عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَجَلَسْنَا عِنْدَهُ فَقَالَ «لَا يَزَالُ الْإِسْلَامُ ظَاهِرًا حَتَّى يَكُونَ اثْنَا عَشَرَ أَمِيرًا أَوْ خَلِيفَةً كُلُّهُمْ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "This religion will continue to exist until there are twelve caliphs." Isma'il said, "I think that my father (meaning the Prophet Ibrahim) said that all the ummah (nation/community) will unite upon them."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَا يَزَالُ هَذَا الدِّينُ قَائِمًا حَتَّى يَقُومَ اثْنَا عَشَرَ خَلِيفَةً» قَالَ إِسْمَاعِيلُ أَظُنُّ ظَنًّا أَنَّ أَبِي قَالَ كُلُّهُمْ تَجْتَمِعُ عَلَيْهِ الْأُمَّةُ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "This religion will not be harmed by those who seek it until twelve successors stand up, all of them from the Quraysh."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَا يَضُرُّ هَذَا الدِّينُ مَنْ نَاوَأَهُ حَتَّى يَقُومَ اثْنَا عَشَرَ خَلِيفَةً كُلُّهُمْ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ»  

'There will be twelve Amir after me."' He said: "Then he said something that I did not understand. So I asked the one who was next to me, who said that he ﷺ had said: 'All of them are from Quraish."' (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2223)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يَكُونُ بَعْدِي اثْنَا عَشَرَ أَمِيرًا» ثُمَّ قَالَ كَلِمَةً لَمْ أَفْهَمْهَا فَسَأَلْتُ أَبِي مَاذَا قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَ «كُلُّهُمْ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ»
