حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْجَهْضَمِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ زُرَيْعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عَوْنٍ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ النَّوْفَلِيُّ، - وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ - حَدَّثَنَا أَزْهَرُ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عَوْنٍ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ، قَالَ انْطَلَقْتُ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم 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 ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Nasr ibn Ali al-Jahdami narrated to us: Yazid ibn Zuray narrated to us: Ibn Awn narrated to us. And Ahmad ibn Uthman al-Nawfali narrated to us—and the wording is his—saying: Azhar narrated to us: Ibn Awn narrated to us, from al-Shabi, from Jabir ibn Samurah, who said: I went with my father to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), and heard him say: This religion will remain mighty and invincible until there have been twelve caliphs. He then said a word that the people made inaudible to me. I asked my father what he had said. He replied: They will all be from Quraysh.
