al-Matalib al-'Aliyah 2498

Translation

✧ A man came to ‘Abd Allah b. Mas‘ud ؓ and said: Has your Prophet told you how many caliphs there will be after him? He said: Yes, and no one has asked me about it before you, even though you are among the youngest of the people. He said: They will be the number of the chiefs of Musa—twelve chiefs.
