حدثنا ابن نمير، حدثنا مجالد، عن عامر، عن جابر بن سمرة السوائي، قال: سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، يقول في حجة الوداع: " لا يزال هذا الدين ظاهرا على من ناوأه، لا يضره مخالف، ولا مفارق، حتى يمضي من أمتي اثنا عشر أميرا، كلهم " ثم خفي علي قول رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، قال: وكان أبي أقرب إلى راحلة رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم مني، فقلت: يا أبتاه، ما الذي خفي من قول رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم؟ قال: يقول: " كلهم من قريش "

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #20817 in Musnad Ahmad.

[Core Subject]: The Prophet ﷺ foretold that the caliphate after him would last thirty years and then become kingship, and that the religion would stay strong under twelve rulers, all from Quraysh.

[Described Characteristics]: Safinah counted the thirty years: Abu Bakr two, Umar ten, Uthman twelve, Ali six. The thirtieth year was completed by al-Hasan's months, after which Mu'awiyah ruled.

[Timeline & Context]: The thirty years ran from 11 to 41 AH, and kingship followed; this has passed.

[Prophetic Practice]: 'Hold to my Sunnah and the Sunnah of the rightly guided caliphs after me; bite onto it with your molar teeth.'
