Chapter: The traditions narrated by the Sunni ن حديث علي بن الجعد قال: حدثنا زهير، عن زياد بن علاقة، وس٠رة أن رسول الله قال: يكون بعدي اثنا عشر أ٠يراً. غيرَ أن حصين قال: اثنا عشر خليفة، ث٠في حديثه: فسألت أبي.

وقال بعضه٠َ، فقالوا: قال: كلّه٠(15) Ali bin al-Ja’d narrated from Zuhayr from Ziyad bin Olaqa, Sammak and Hussayn and all from Jabir bin Samra that the Prophet (S) had said: “There will be twelve emirs after me.” But Hussayn said: “There will be twelve caliphs…” Then the Prophet (S) said something that I could not understand. I asked some people and asked my father. He said that the Prophet (S) had said: “All of them are from Quraysh.”
