Tarikh (al-Tabari) 409
Compendium of Accounts of the Earlier Prophets
قَالَ الْبُخَارِيُّ بسنده عَنْ فُرَاتٍ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا حَازِمٍ 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، وَسَيَكُونُ خُلَفَاءُ فَيَكْثُرُونَ قَالُوا: فَمَا تَأْمُرُنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ؟ قَالَ: فُوا بِبَيْعَةِ الْأَوَّلِ فَالْأَوَّلِ، أَعْطُوهُمْ حَقَّهُمْ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ سَائِلُهُمْ عَمَّا اسْتَرْعَاهُمْ وَكَذَا رَوَاهُ مُسْلِمٌ عَنْ بُنْدَارٍ، وَمِنْ وَجْهٍ آخَرَ عَنْ فُرَاتٍ بِهِ نَحْوَهُ.
Translation
✧ Al-Bukhārī said with his chain of transmission on the authority of Furāt, who said: I heard Abū Ḥāzim say: I sat with Abū Hurayrah for five years and heard him narrate from the Prophet ﷺ, who said: “The Children of Israel were governed by prophets; whenever a prophet perished, a prophet succeeded him. And there is no prophet after me. There will be caliphs, and they will become many.” They said: “What do you command us, O Messenger of Allah?” He said: “Fulfill the pledge of allegiance to the first, then the first. Give them their due, for Allah will question them about what He entrusted to them.” Muslim likewise narrated it on the authority of Bundār, and from another chain on the authority of Furāt, with something similar.
