In The Name Of
Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful
Assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatuallahi wa barakatuhu
Then there will be a caliphate according to
the manner of prophecy
Al-Tirmidhi HadithHadith 5378 Narrated byHudhayfah ibn al-Yaman An-Nu'man
told on Hudhayfah's authority that Allah's Messenger (peace be
upon him) said, "Prophecy will remain among you as long as Allah wishes
it to remain, then Allah Most High will remove it. Then there will be a
caliphate according to the manner of prophecy as long as Allah wishes it
to remain, then Allah Most High will remove it. Then there will be a
distressful kingdom which will remain as long as Allah wishes it to
remain, then Allah Most High will remove it. Then there will be a proud
kingdom
which will remain as long as Allah wishes it to remain, then Allah Most
High will remove it. Then there will be a caliphate according to the
manner of
prophecy." Then he stopped. Habib said: "When Umar ibn AbdulAziz became
caliph I wrote to him, mentioning this tradition to him and saying, "I
hope
you will be the commander of the faithful after the distressful and the
proud kingdoms." It pleased and charmed him, i.e. Umar ibn AbdulAziz."
Ahmad and Bayhaqi, in Dala'il an-Nubuwwah, transmitted it.
*Note:Caliphate according to the manner of prophecy means Khilafah upon
the way of Prophethood.
Allah Knows Best
