حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَيْثَمَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، عَنْ مُجَالِدٍ، عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ، عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ، قَالَ:

كُنَّا جُلُوسًا عِنْدَ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ لَيْلَةً بَعْدَ الْمَغْرِبِ وَهُوَ يُقْرِئُنَا الْقُرْآنَ، فَسَأَلَهُ رَجُلٌ: يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، أَسَأَلْتُمْ رَسُولَ اللهِ كَمْ يَمْلِكُ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةَ مِنْ خَلِيفَةٍ ؟ فَقَالَ ابْنُ مَسْعُودٍ: مَا سَأَلَنِي مُذْ قَدِمْتُ الْعِرَاقَ قَبْلَكَ، قَالَ: نَعَمْ، سَأَلْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: اثْنَا عَشَرَ، عِدَّةَ نُقَبَاءِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ

✧ We were sitting with Ibn Mas'ud one night after Maghrib while he was teaching us the Quran. A man asked him: 'O Abu 'Abd al-Rahman, did you ask the Messenger of Allah how many caliphs this nation will have?' Ibn Mas'ud said: 'No one has asked me this since I came to Iraq before you.' He said: 'Yes, we asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he said: Twelve, the number of the chiefs of the Children of Israel.'
