I was in the mosque with my father when the Prophet (MGB) was delivering a sermon. I heard the Prophet (MGB) say, ‘There will be twelve Leaders after me.’ Then the Prophet (MGB) lowered his voice such that I could not understand what he (MGB) said. 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.’”

كنت مع أبي في المسجد ورسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله يخطب فسمعته يقول: اثنا عشر خليفة، ثم خفض صوته فلم أدرما يقول، فقلت لابي: ما يقول؟ فقال: قال: كلهم من قريش
