Arabic text

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.

Translation

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.
