Sahih Muslim 1842a
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ فُرَاتٍ الْقَزَّازِ، عَنْ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، قَالَ قَاعَدْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ خَمْسَ سِنِينَ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يُحَدِّثُ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ " كَانَتْ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ تَسُوسُهُمُ الأَنْبِيَاءُ كُلَّمَا هَلَكَ نَبِيٌّ خَلَفَهُ نَبِيٌّ وَإِنَّهُ لاَ نَبِيَّ بَعْدِي وَسَتَكُونُ خُلَفَاءُ فَتَكْثُرُ " . قَالُوا فَمَا تَأْمُرُنَا قَالَ " فُوا بِبَيْعَةِ الأَوَّلِ فَالأَوَّلِ وَأَعْطُوهُمْ حَقَّهُمْ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ سَائِلُهُمْ عَمَّا اسْتَرْعَاهُمْ " .
Muhammad ibn Bashshar narrated to us; Muhammad ibn Jafar narrated to us; Shubah narrated to us, from Furat al-Qazzaz, from Abu Hazim, who said: I spent five years sitting with Abu Hurayrah and heard him narrate from the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, who said: “The Children of Israel were governed by the Prophets. Whenever a Prophet died, another Prophet succeeded him. There will be no Prophet after me, but there will be many successors.” They asked, “What do you command us to do?” He said, “Fulfill the pledge of allegiance to each one in the order in which they were pledged allegiance to, and give them their due. Allah will question them about those whom He entrusted to their care.”
