Arabic text

37 - أخبرنا محمد بن عثمان قال: حدثنا عبد الله بن جعفر الرقي، قال: حدثنا عيسى بن يونس، عن مجالد بن سعيد، عن الشعبي، عن مسروق قال: كنا عند ابن مسعود فقال له رجل: أحدَّثكم نبيُّكم كم يكون بعده من الخلفاء؟ فقال: نعم وما سألني عنها أحد قبلك، فإنك للأحدث القوم سناً، سمعته يقول: يكون بعدي عدة نقباء موسى عليه السلام.

Translation

(37) Muhammad bin Uthman narrated from Abdullah bin Ja’far ar-Riqqi from Eessa bin Younus from Mujalid bin Sa’eed from ash-Shi’bi that Massrooq had said: Once we were with ibn Mass’ood in his house. Someone asked him: “Have your prophet told you how many caliphs will be after him?” Ibn Mass’ood said: “Yes, He has. But no one has asked me about this matter before you. You are the youngest of these people. I have heard the Prophet (S) saying: “After me there will be (caliphs) as the number of the chieftains of Prophet Moses (as).”

Translation: Abdullah al-Shahin — published with the edition, reproduced verbatim.
