10 - حَدَّثَنا أَبُو عَلِيٍّ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ أَبي الحَسَنِ بْنِ عَلِىِّ بْنِ عَبْدَوَيْه القَطَّانُ قالَ: حَدَّثَنا أَبُو يَزِيدَ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ خالِدِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ المَرْوَزِىُّ بِالرَّيِّ فِي شَهْرِ رَبِيعُ الأَوَّلِ سِنَةَ اثْنَتَيْنِ وَثَلاث مائَةٍ، قالَ: حَدَّثَنا إِسْحاقُ بْنِ إِبْراهِيمَ الحَنْظَلِيُّ فِي سَنَةَ ثَمانٍ وَثَلاثِينَ وَمائتَيْنِ – وَهُوَ المَعْرُوفُ بِإِسْحاقَ بْنِ راهْوَيْه - قالَ: حَدَّثَنا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى قالَ: حَدَّثَنا هَشِيمٌ عَنْ مَجالِدٍ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقِ، قالَ
بَيْنا نَحْنُ عِنْدَ عَبْدِ اللَّه بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ نَعْرِضُ مَصاحِفَنا عَلَيْهِ، إِذْ قالَ لَهُ فَتىً شابٌ: هَلْ عَهِدَ إِلَيْكُمْ نَبِيُّكُمْ كَمْ يَكُونُ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ خَلِيفَةٌ؟ قالَ: إِنَّكَ لَحَدِيثُ السِّنِّ وَإِنَّ هذَا شَيءٌ ما سَأَلَنِي عَنْهُ أَحَدٌ قَبْلَكَ، نَعَمْ عَهِدَ إِلَيْنا نَبِيِّنا صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ أَنَّهُ يَكُونُ بَعْدَهُ اثْنا عَشَر خَلِيفَةً بِعَدَدِ نُقَباءِ بَنِي إِسْرائِيلَ.
