English translation

4646. It was narrated from ‘Abdul-Wārīth bin Sa’eed from Sa’eed bin Jumhān, from Saṣīnah, who said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'The Khilāfah of Prophethood will last for thirty years, then Allāh will give power – or His kingdom – to whomever He wills.'" (Hasan) Sa'eed said: "Saṣīnah said to me: Calculate Abū Bakr's Khilāfah as two years, 'Umar's as ten, 'Uthmān's as twelve, and 'Alī's as such-and-such." Sa'eed said: "I said to Saṣīnah: 'They are saying that 'Alī was not a Khalifah.' He said: 'The buttocks of Banū Az-Zarqā' are lying,'" meaning Banū Marwān.

4646 - حَدَّثَنَا سَوَّارُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُمْهَانَ، عَنْ سَفِينَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «خِلَافَةُ النُّبُوَّةِ ثَلَاثُونَ سَنَةً، ثُمَّ يُؤْتِي اللَّهُ الْمُلْكَ أَوْ مُلْكَهُ مَنْ يَشَاءُ» قَالَ سَعِيدٌ قَالَ لِي سَفِينَةُ: «أَمْسِكْ عَلَيْكَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ سَنَتَيْنِ، وَعُمَرُ عَشْرًا، وَعُثْمَانُ اثْنَتَيْ عَشْرَةَ، وَعَلِيٌّ كَذَا» قَالَ سَعِيدٌ، قُلْتُ: لِسَفِينَةَ إِنَّ هَؤُلَاءِ يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّ عَلِيًّا عَلَيْهِ السَّلَام لَمْ يَكُنْ بِخَلِيفَةٍ قَالَ: «كَذَبَتْ أَسْتَاهُ بَنِي الزَّرْقَاءِ يَعْنِي بَنِي مَرْوَانَ»
