Abū Kurayb—Muḥammad ibn al-‘Alā’—narrated to us; ‘Umar ibn ‘Ubayd al-Tanāfisī narrated to us, from Simāk ibn Ḥarb, from Jābir ibn Samurah, who said that the Messenger of Allah said: “There will be twelve amīrs after me.” He then said something I could not understand, so I asked the person next to me. He said that the Prophet had said: “All of them will be from Quraysh.”

Abū ‘Īsā said: This is a ḥasan ṣaḥīḥ hadith. Abū Kurayb narrated to us; ‘Umar ibn ‘Ubayd narrated to us, from his father, from Abū Bakr ibn Abī Mūsā, from Jābir ibn Samurah, from the Prophet, a report like this. It has been transmitted through more than one route from Jābir ibn Samurah. Abū ‘Īsā said: This is a ḥasan gharīb hadith; it is considered gharīb through the report of Abū Bakr ibn Abī Mūsā from Jābir ibn Samurah. Reports on this topic are also related from Ibn Mas‘ūd and ‘Abd Allāh ibn ‘Amr.
