93- وبهذا الإسناد عن محمد بن عثمان قال: حدثنا أحمد قال: حدثنا عبيد الله بن عمر قال: حدثنا سليمان بن أحمر قال: حدثنا ابن عون، عن الشعبي،عن جابر بن سمرة قال: ذكر أن النبي صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم قال: لا يزال أهل هذا الدين ينصرون على من ناواهم إلى اثني عشر خليفة. فجعل الناس يقومون ويقعدون، وتكلم بكلمة لم أفهمها،فقلت لأبي-أو لأخي- :أي شي‏ء قال؟فقال: كلهم من قريش.

H 93 - It is narrated from the same chains of narrators from Muhammad bin Uthman that: Narrated to us Ahmad that: Narrated to us Ubaidullah bin Uthman that: Narrated to us Sulaiman bin Ahmar that: Narrated to us Ibn Aun from Shobi from Jabir bin Samra that: The Messenger of Allah (s) said: The people of this religion would be helped [through the Caliph of God] against those who intend harm to them and this help would continue till the tenure of the twelve Caliphs. Since people were going and coming, I could not make out what the Prophet said after that. So I asked my father or brother: What did the Prophet say? He replied: All the twelve Caliphs would be from Quraish.
