12-24 Ahmad ibn al-Hassan al-Qat’tan narrated that Abdul Rahman ibn Abi Hatam quoted Ishaq ibn Ibrahim ibn Abdul Rahman Abu Yaqoob al-Sameen al-Baqavy, on the authority of Ibn Eliyeh (who is Isma’il ibn Eliyeh), on the authority of Ibn Oan, on the authority of Al-Sha’abi, on the authority of Jabir ibn Samurah, “My father and I were with the Prophet (MGB).
I heard the Prophet (MGB) say, ‘This religion will always be dear and invulnerable and shall overcome anyone who opposes it until there come twelve Caliphs.’ Then the Prophet (MGB) said something which could not be heard due to the noisy people there. I asked my father, ‘What did he (MGB) say when he lowered his voice?’ My father said, ‘The Prophet (MGB) said, ‘They are all from the Quraysh.’”
12-24 حدثنا أحمد بن الحسن القطان قال: حدثنا عبدالرحمن بن أبي حاتم قال: حدثنا إسحاق بن إبراهيم بن عبدالرحمن أبو يعقوب السمين البغوي قال: حدثنا ابن علية عن ابن عون، عن الشعبي، عن جابر بن سمرة قال
كنت مع أبي فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله: لا يزال هذا الدين عزيزا منيعا سنيا ينصرون على من ناواهم إلى اثني عشر خليفة، ثم تكلم بكلمة أصمنيها الناس، فقلت لابي: ما الكلمة التي أصمنيها الناس، فقال: قال: كلهم من قريش
