حَدَّثَنَا حَسَنُ بْنُ مُوسَى حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنِ الْمُجَالِدِ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ قَالَ

كُنَّا جُلُوسًا عِنْدَ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَسْعُودٍ وَهُوَ يُقْرِئُنَا الْقُرْآنَ، فَقَالَ لَهُ رَجُلٌ: يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، هَلْ سَأَلْتُمْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَمْ يَمْلِكُ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةَ مِنْ خَلِيفَةٍ ؟ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ: مَا سَأَلَنِي عَنْهَا أَحَدٌ مُنْذُ قَدِمْتُ الْعِرَاقَ قَبْلَكَ، ثُمَّ قَالَ: نَعَمْ وَلَقَدْ سَأَلْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ: اثْنَا عَشَرَ كَعِدَّةِ نُقَبَاءِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ.

✧ There was a man who said, "O Abu Abdullah! Did you ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ how many caliphs this Ummah would have?" Abdullah replied, "No one has asked me about it since I came to Iraq before you." Then he said, "Yes, we did ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he said there would be twelve caliphs, similar to the number of heads of the Bani Israel."
