Abu Abdullah (asws) said to me: ‘O Shahaab! There would be a great deal of killing in the households of Qureysh to the extent that the man from among them would be called to the Caliphate, he would refuse’. Then said: ‘O Shahaab! Do not announce that I (asws) meant those sons of my (asws) uncle’. Shahaab said, ‘I testify that he (asws) was referring to them’.
