12-11 Ahmad ibn al-Hassan al-Qat’tan narrated that Al-Nue’man ibn Ahmad ibn Na’eem al-Vaseti quoted Ahmad ibn Senan al-Qat’tan on the authority of Abu Usamah, on the authority of Mujalid, on the authority of Amer, on the authority of Masruq, “A man went to see Abdullah ibn Masood and asked him, ‘O Aba Abdul Rahman! Has your Prophet told you how many successors he will have after him?’ He replied, “Yes. No one had asked me this question before. You asked it although you are the youngest of them all. The Prophet (MGB) has said, ‘
There will be twelve successors after me - as many as the Israelite chiefs after Moses (MGB).’”

جاء رجل إلى عبد الله بن مسعود فقال:يا أبا عبد الرحمن هل حدثكم نبيكم صلى الله عليه وآله كم يكون بعده من الخلفاء؟ قال: نعم وما سألني عنه أحد قبلك وإنك لاحدث القوم سنا، نعم قال: يكون بعدي عدة نقباء موسى عليه السلام
