H 96 - It is narrated from the same chains of narrators from Muhammad bin Uthman that: Narrated to us Ahmad that: Narrated to us Muqaddami from Asim [bin Umar] bin Ali bin Miqdam Abu Yunus that: Narrated to me my father about the origin of Caliph from Abi Khalid Walibi that: Narrated to us Jabir bin Samra that
I heard the Messenger of Allah (s) say: This religion would remain victorious and will not be harmed by those who intend to cause harm to it till the time that twelve Caliphs, all of whom would be from Quraish, rise up [for Imamate].
96- وبهذا الإسناد عن محمد بن عثمان قال: حدثنا أحمد قال: حدثنا المقدمي عن عاصم بن عمر بن علي بن مقدام أبو يونس قال: حدثني أبي عن فطر بن خليفة عن أبي خالد الوالبي قال: حدثنا جابر بن سمرة قال
سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم يقول: لا يزال هذا الدين ظاهرا لا يضره من ناواه حتى يقوم اثنا عشر خليفة كلهم من قريش.
