12-23 Ahmad ibn al-Hassan al-Qat’tan narrated that Abu Bakr Abdullah ibn Suleiman al-Ash’as quoted Ali ibn Khashram, on the authority of Isa ibn Yunis, on the authority of Imran - that is ibn Suleiman, on the authority of Al-Sha’abi, on the authority of Jabir ibn Samurah that he had heard God’s Prophet (MGB) say, “
The rule of this esteemed nation will not terminate until there come twelve Caliphs.” Then the Prophet (MGB) said something quietly which could not be understood. I asked someone who was close to the Prophet (MGB) ‘What did he (MGB) say?’ He said, ‘The Prophet (MGB) said, ‘They are all from the Quraysh.’”
12-23 حدثنا أحمد بن الحسن القطان قال: حدثنا أبوبكر عبد الله بن سليمان ابن الاشعث قال: حدثنا علي بن خشرم قال: حدثنا عيسى بن يونس، عن عمران يعني ابن سليمان، عن الشعبي، عن جابر بن سمرة قال
سمعت النبي صلى الله عليه وآله يقول لا يزال أمر هذه الامة عاليا على من ناواها حتى تملك اثني عشر خليفة، ثم قال كلمة خفية لم أفهمها، فسألت من هو أقرب إلى النبي صلى الله عليه وآله مني فقال قال: كلهم من قريش
