Hadith #436
Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيٌّ يَعْنِي ابْنَ الْمُبَارَكِ عَنْ يَحْيَى قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سَعِيدٍ مَوْلَى الْمَهْرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ
الْخُدْرِيِّ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعَثَ بَعْثًا إِلَى لَحْيَانَ بْنِ هُذَيْلٍ قَالَ لِيَنْبَعِثْ مِنْ كُلِّ رَجُلَيْنِ أَحَدُهُمَا وَالْأَجْرُ بَيْنَهُمَا

English Translation
Abu 'Amir narrated to us, 'Ali — meaning Ibn al-Mubarak — narrated to us, from Yahya who said: Abu Sa'id, the freed slave of al-Mahri, narrated to me, from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (رضي الله عنه), that the Prophet ﷺ said: 'Indeed this matter (the caliphate) is among the Quraysh. No one opposes them regarding it except that Allah throws him down on his face, as long as they establish the religion.'
