Chapter: The traditions narrated by the Sunni ن حديث يزيد بن سنان قال: حدثنا عبد الح٠وسى قال: حدثنا عبيد الله بن ع٠ع أبي علي النبي فس٠عته يقول: لن تزال الأ٠يراً أواثنا عشر خليفة.

قال: وخافت بكل٠ا الذي خافت به؟ قال: قال: كله٠(20) Yazeed bin Sinan narrated from Abdul-Hameed bin Musa from Obaydillah bin Umar from Abdul-Melik bin Omayr that Jabir bin Samra had said: My father and I went to the Prophet (S). I heard him saying: “This umma will still keep to this (religion) until twelve emirs (or twelve caliphs) will have ruled.” Then he lowered his voice and I could not understand what he had said after that.

My father was nearer to him than me. When we went out, I asked my father what the Prophet (S) had said after that. He told me that the Prophet (S) had said: “All of them are from Quraysh.”
