( أَخْبَرَنَا ) أَبُو عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَافِظُ، أَنْبَأَ أَبُو الْحَسَنِ: أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عُبْدُوسٍ، ثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ الدَّارِمِيُّ، ثَنَا بُنْدَارٌ، ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، ثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ فُرَاتٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا حَازِمٍ يُحَدِّثُ قَالَ:
قَاعَدْتُ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ خَمْسَ سِنِينَ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يُحَدِّثُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ: كَانَتْ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ تَسُوسُهُمُ الْأَنْبِيَاءُ، كُلَّمَا هَلَكَ نَبِيٌّ خَلَفَهُ نَبِيٌّ، وَإِنَّهُ لَا نَبِيَّ بَعْدِي، وَسَتَكُونُ خُلَفَاءُ يَكْثُرُونَ ". قَالُوا: فَمَا تَأْمُرُنَا ؟ قَالَ: فُوا بِبَيْعَةِ الْأَوَّلِ فَالْأَوَّلِ، وَأَعْطُوهُمْ حَقَّهُمْ؛ فَإِنَّ اللهَ سَائِلُهُمْ عَمَّنِ اسْتَرْعَاهُمْ

I sat with Abū Hurayrah for five years, and I heard him narrate from the Prophet ﷺ who said: "The Children of Israel were governed by prophets; whenever a prophet died, another prophet succeeded him. But there is no prophet after me, and there will be caliphs, and they will be many." They said: "What do you command us?" He said: "Fulfil the pledge of allegiance to the first, then the first. Give them their due, for Allah will question them about those whom He placed under their care."
