tabarani:1801Aḥmad b. Zuhayr al-Tustarī > Muḥammad b. ʿUthmān b. Karāmah > ʿUbaydullāh b. Mūsá > Dāwud al-Awdī > ʿĀmir from his father > Jābir b. Samurah

[Machine] We heard Jabir bin Samurah saying, "We were with the Prophet and he said, 'This matter (meaning Islam) will continue to exist as long as there are twelve Amir (leaders).'" He then shortened a word that I didn't hear. When the Prophet became silent, I asked Abu Samurah, "What was the word that he shortened?" He replied, "They are all from the Quraysh."  

الطبراني:١٨٠١حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ زُهَيْرٍ التُّسْتَرِيُّ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ كَرَامَةَ ثنا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مُوسَى عَنْ دَاوُدَ الْأَوْدِيِّ عَنْ عَامِرٍ وَعَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَا

سَمِعْنَا جَابِرَ بْنَ سَمُرَةَ يَقُولُ كُنَّا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ «لَا يَزَالُ هَذَا الْأَمْرُ قَائِمًا حَتَّى يَمْضِيَ اثْنَا عَشَرَ أَمِيرًا» قَالَ وَقَصَّرَ بِكَلِمَةٍ لَمْ أَسْمَعْهَا قَالَ فَلَمَّا سَكَتَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ قُلْتُ لِأَبِي سَمُرَةَ مَا الْكَلِمَةُ الَّتِي قَصَّرَ بِهَا؟ قَالَ «كُلُّهُمْ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ»
