6-14 Ahmad ibn Muhammad ibn Ishaq al-Qadhi narrated that Abu Ya’la quoted on the authority of Ali ibn al-Ja’d, on the authority of Zohair, on the authority of Ziyad ibn Khaythama, on the authority of Aswad ibn al-Sa’eed al-Hamadani that he had heard Jabir ibn Samrah say that he had heard God’s Prophet (s) say, “There will be twelve successors after me.

All of them will be from the Quraysh tribe.” When the Prophet (s) returned home, Jabir ibn Samrah went to see him (s)in private and asked, “What will happen after them?” The Prophet (s) replied, “Then there will be chaos.”
