6-9 Abu Ali Ahmad ibn Al-Hassan al-Qattan narrated that Abu Abdullah Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Ibrahim ibn Abil Rajal al-Baghdadi quoted on the authority of Muhammad ibn Ubdoos al-Harrani, on the authority of Abdul Ghaffar ibn al-Hakam, on the authority of Mansoor ibn Abil Aswad, on the authority of al-Muttraf, on the authority of al-Sha’bi, on the authority of his uncle Qays ibn Abdullah, “We were sitting around and Abdullah ibn Mas’ood was also present. A Bedouin came and asked, ‘Which one of you is Abdullah ibn Mas’ood?’ Abdullah said, ‘
I am Abdullah ibn Mas’ood.’ The Bedouin asked, ‘Has your Prophet told you how many successors he will have after him?’ He replied, ‘Yes. Twelve successors - as many as the Israelite chiefs.’”
9 - حَدَّثَنا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ الحَسَن القَطَّانُ قالَ: حَدَّثَنا أَبُو عَبْدِ اللَّه أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِإِبْراهِيمِ بْنِ أَبي الرِّجالِ البَغدْاديُّ قالَ: حَدَّثَنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدُوسٍ الحَرَّانِيّ قالَ: حَدَّثَنا عَبْدُ الغَفَّارِ بْنِ الْحَكَمِ قالَ: حَدَّثَنا مَنْصُورُ بْنُ أَبي الأَسْوَدٍ، عَنْ مُطَرَّفٍ، عَنْ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ قَيْسٍ بْنِ عَبْدٍ قالَ
كُنَّا جُلُوساً فِي حَلْقَةٍ فِيها عَبْدُ اللَّه بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ فَجاءَ أَعْرابِيٌ: فَقالَ: أيُّكُمْ عَبْدُ اللَّه بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ؟ فَقالَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ: أَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ قالَ: هَلْ حَدَّثَكُمْ نَبِيُّكُمْ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ كَمْ يَكُونُ بَعْدَهُ مِنَ الخُلَفاءِ؟ قالَ: نَعَمْ، اثْنا عَشَر عِدَّةُ نُقَباءِ بَنِي إِسْرائِيلَ.
