حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ صَالِحٍ أَبِي الْخَلِيلِ عَنْ صَاحِبٍ لَهُ عَنْ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ زَوْجِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ: «يَكُونُ اخْتِلاَفٌ عِنْدَ مَوْتِ خَلِيفَةٍ، فَيَخْرُجُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ هَارِبًا إِلَى مَكَّةَ، فَيَأْتِيهِ نَاسٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ فَيُخْرِجُونَهُ وَهُوَ كَارِهٌ، فَيُبَايِعُونَهُ بَيْنَ الرُّكْنِ وَالْمَقَامِ، وَيُبْعَثُ إِلَيْهِ بَعْثٌ مِنَ الشَّامِ فَيُخْسَفُ بِهِمْ بِالْبَيْدَاءِ بَيْنَ مَكَّةَ وَالْمَدِينَةِ، فَإِذَا رَأَى النَّاسُ ذَلِكَ أَتَاهُ أَبْدَالُ الشَّامِ وَعَصَائِبُ أَهْلِ الْعِرَاقِ، فَيُبَايِعُونَهُ بَيْنَ الرُّكْنِ وَالْمَقَامِ، ثُمَّ يَنْشَأُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ أَخْوَالُهُ كَلْبٌ، فَيَبْعَثُ إِلَيْهِمْ بَعْثًا فَيَظْهَرُونَ عَلَيْهِمْ، وَذَلِكَ بَعْثُ كَلْبٍ، وَالْخَيْبَةُ لِمَنْ لَمْ يَشْهَدْ غَنِيمَةَ كَلْبٍ، فَيَقْسِمُ الْمَالَ، وَيَعْمَلُ فِي النَّاسِ بِسُنَّةِ نَبِيِّهِمْ ﷺ، وَيُلْقِي الإِسْلاَمُ بِجِرَانِهِ إِلَى الأَرْضِ، فَيَلْبَثُ سَبْعَ سِنِينَ، ثُمَّ يُتَوَفَّى وَيُصَلِّي عَلَيْهِ الْمُسْلِمُونَ»،

The Prophet ﷺ said: "There will be disagreement at the death of a caliph. A man from the people of Madinah will flee to Makkah, and some people of Makkah will come to him and bring him out, though he is unwilling. They will pledge allegiance to him between the Rukn (Hajar al-Aswad) and the Station ˹of Ibrahim˺. An army will be sent against him from Syria, but they will be swallowed by the earth at al-Bayda, between Makkah and Madinah. When the people see that, the eminant scholars of Syria and the bands of the people of Iraq will come to him and pledge allegiance to him between the Rukn and the Station. Then a man from Quraysh whose maternal relatives belong to Kalb will arise and send an army against them, but they will prevail over it. That will be the army of Kalb, and loss awaits whoever does not witness the spoils of Kalb. He will distribute the wealth, govern the people according to the Sunnah of their Prophet ﷺ, and Islam will settle firmly upon the earth. He will remain for seven years, then he will die and the Muslims will offer the funeral prayer over him."
