H 91 - It is narrated from the same chains of narrators from Muhammad bin Uthman that: Narrated to us Ibn Abi Khaithama that: Narrated to me Zuhair bin Muawiyah from Ziyad bin Alaqa, Samak bin Harb, Husain bin Abdur Rahman Kalham from Jabir bin Samra that the
Messenger of Allah (s) said: After me there would be twelve Caliphs; after that the Prophet mentioned something, which I could not understand. A person in that gathering says: I asked the others [What did the Messenger of Allah (s) say?] They replied: His Eminence said: All of them would be from Quraish.
91- وبهذا الإسناد عن محمد بن عثمان قال: حدثنا ابن أبي خيثمة قال: حدثني زهير بن معاوية عن زياد بن علاقة وسماك بن حرب وحصين بن عبد الرحمن كلهم عن جابر بن سمرة أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم قال
يكون بعدي اثنا عشر خليفة… ثم تكلم بكلام لم أفهمه، فقال بعضهم: سألت القوم فقالوا: قال: كلهم من قريش.
