Chapter: The traditions narrated by the Sunni ن حديث يزيد بن سنان قال: حدثنا أبو الربيع الزهراني قال: حدثنا ح٠اد بن زيد، قال: حدثنا ٠جالد بن سعيد، عن الشعبي، عن جابر بن س٠رة قال: خطب بنا رسول الله فس٠عته يقول: لا يزال هذا الأ٠نيعاً ظاهراً على ٠"، فقلت لأبي يا أبتاه ٠(19) Yazeed bin Sinan narrated from Abur-Rabee’ az-Zahrani from Hammad bin Zayd from Mujalid bin Sa’eed from ash-Shi’bi that Jabir bin Samra had said: Once the Prophet (S) made a speech before us and I heard him saying: “This matter (the religion) will remain strong and prevailing over its opponents until twelve (caliphs) will have ruled.

All of them…” Then people began talking and I could not understand what the Prophet (S) had said after “all of them”. I asked my father what the Prophet (S) had said after that and he told me that he had said: “All of them are from Quraysh.”
