حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزُ بْنُ أَسَدٍ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ حَدَّثَنَا سِمَاكٌ حَدَّثَنَا جَابِرُ بْنُ سَمُرَةَ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ لَا يَز
َالُ الْإِسْلَامُ عَزِيزًا إِلَى اثْنَيْ عَشَرَ خَلِيفَةً فَقَالَ كَلِمَةً خَفِيَّةً لَمْ أَفْهَمْهَا قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لِأَبِي مَا قَالَ قَالَ كُلُّهُمْ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ

English Translation
It was narrated from Jabir ibn Samurah (may Allah be pleased with him) that he said: 'I heard the Prophet ﷺ say: Islam will remain strong until there are twelve khaliphs.' Then he said something quietly that I could not hear. I asked my father: 'What did he say?' He replied: 'All of them will be from the Quraysh.'
