Kitab al-Fitan of Nu'aym ibn Hammad: ungraded, and weak overall. Never established on its own.

حدثنا ابن وهب، عن ابن لهيعة، عن محمد بن زيد بن مهاجر، قال: أخبرني طلحة بن عبد الله بن عوف، قال: سمعت عبد الله بن عمر، رضي الله عنهما يقول، ونحن عنده نفر من قريش كلنا من بني كعب بن لؤي، فقال: «سيكون منكم يا بني كعب اثنا عشر خليفة»

There will be twelve caliphs among you, Banu Ka'b

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #227 in Kitab al-Fitan (Nu'aym ibn Hammad).

[Scholarly Verification Notice]: Recorded in Nu'aym ibn Hammad's Kitab al-Fitan (d. 228 AH). Hadith scholars classify this historical compilation as ungraded and weak overall; its isolated reports are not accepted as established doctrine unless corroborated by standard Sahih works.

[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.'
