Arabic hadith text
حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا غُنْدَرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ، سَمِعْتُ جَابِرَ بْنَ سَمُرَةَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ " يَكُونُ اثْنَا عَشَرَ أَمِيرًا ـ فَقَالَ كَلِمَةً لَمْ أَسْمَعْهَا فَقَالَ أَبِي إِنَّهُ قَالَ ـ كُلُّهُمْ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ ".
Translation
Jābir ibn Samura said: I heard the Prophet say, “There will be twelve commanders.” He said a word that I did not hear, so my father told me, “He said, ‘All of them will be from Quraysh.’”
Translation notes
The narrator explicitly says he did not hear a word spoken after “twelve commanders”; his father supplied the statement that all twelve would be from Quraysh.
