(4) Uthman bin Abu Shayba, Abu Ahmad, Yousuf bin Musa al-Qattan and Sufyan bin Wakee’ narrated from Jareer from al-Ash’ath bin Sawwar from Aamir ash-Shi’bi that his uncle Qayss bin Abd had said
“One day a nomad came when Abdullah bin Mass’ood was among his companions. The nomad asked: “Is Abdullah bin Mass’ood among you?” Bin Mass’ood said: “Here I am. What do you want?” The nomad said: “I want to ask you if you have heard the Prophet (S) talking about how many caliphs will be after him.” Bin Mass’ood said: “No one asked me about this since I had come from Iraq. Yes, he (the Prophet (S)) said: “The caliphs are twelve like the number of the chieftains of the Israelites.”
4 - وعن عثمان بن أبي شيبة وأبي أحمد، ويوسف بن موسى القطان وسفيان بن وكيع قالوا: حدثنا جرير عن الأشعث بن سوار، عن عامر الشعبي، عن عمه قيس بن عبد قال
جاء أعرابي فأتى عبد الله بن مسعود، وأصحابه عنده، فقال: فيكم عبد الله بن مسعود؟ فأشاروا إليه، قال له عبد الله: قد وجدته فما حاجتك؟ قال: إني أريد أن أسألك عن شيء إن كنتَ سمعته من رسول الله فنبئنا به، أحدَّثكم نبيكم كم يكون بعده من خليفة؟ قال: وما سألني عن هذا أحد منذ قدمت العراق! نعم قال: الخلفاء بعدي أثنا عشر خليفة كعدة نقباء بني إسرائيل.
