حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ صَالِحِ بْنِ هَانِئٍ ثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ ثَنَا عَفَّانُ ثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ عَنْ مُجَالِدِ بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنِ الشَّعْبِيِّ عَنْ مَسْرُوقٍ قَالَ
كُنَّا جُلُوسًا لَيْلَةً عِنْدَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يُقْرِئُنَا الْقُرْآنَ فَسَأَلَهُ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا أَبَا عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ هَلْ سَأَلْتُمْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ كَمْ يَمْلِكُ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةَ مِنْ خَلِيفَةٍ؟ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ مَا سَأَلَنِي عَنْ هَذَا أَحَدٌ مُنْذُ قَدِمْتُ الْعِرَاقَ قَبْلَكَ قَالَ سَأَلْنَاهُ فَقَالَ «اثْنَا عَشَرَ عِدَّةَ نُقَبَاءِ بَنِي إِسْرَائِيلَ» لَا يَسَعُنِي التَّسَامُحُ فِي هَذَا الْكِتَابِ عَنِ الرِّوَايَةِ عَنْ مُجَالِدٍ وَأَقْرَانِهِ رَحِمَهُمُ اللَّهُ سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص

✧ We were sitting one night with Abdullah while he was teaching us the Quran. A man asked him: "O Abu Abd al-Rahman, did you ask the Messenger of Allah ﷺ how many caliphs this nation will have?" Abdullah said: "No one has asked me about this since I came to Iraq before you." He said: "We asked him, and he said: 'Twelve, the number of the chieftains of the Children of Israel.'" I cannot permit myself to be lenient in this book regarding narrating from Mujalid and his peers, may Allah have mercy on them. Al-Dhahabi remained silent about it in the Talkhis.
