Chapter 5 | The Twelve Caliphs and Divine Leaders after the Prophet

12-15 حدثنا أحمد بن الحسن القطان قال: حدثنا أبوالحسين طاهر بن إسماعيل الخثعمي قال: حدثنا أبوكريب يعني محمد بن علاء الهمداني قال: حدثني عمي يعنى ابن عبيد الطنافسي عن سماك بن حرب، عن جابر بن سمرة قال: سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وآله يقول: يكون بعدي اثنا عشر أميرا، ثم تكلم فخفي علي، ما قال: فسألت أبي ما الذي قال؟ فقال: قال: كلهم من قريش

12-15 Ahmad ibn al-Hassan al-Qat’tan narrated that Abul Hussein Tahir ibn Isma’il al-Khas’ami quoted Abu Kurayb - Muhammad ibn Ala’ al-Hamedany, on the authority of his uncle Ibn Ubayd al-Tanafesi, on the authority of Samak ibn Harb, on the authority of Jabir ibn Samurah, “I heard God’s Prophet (MGB) say, ‘There will be twelve Leaders after me.’ Then the Prophet (MGB) lowered his voice. I asked my father, ‘What did he (MGB) say when he lowered his voice?’ My father said, ‘The Prophet (MGB) said, ‘They are all from the Quraysh.’”
