حَدَّثَنَا سَوَّارُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَارِثِ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُمْهَانَ، عَنْ سَفِينَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ خِلاَفَةُ النُّبُوَّةِ ثَلاَثُونَ سَنَةً ثُمَّ يُؤْتِي اللَّهُ الْمُلْكَ - أَوْ مُلْكَهُ - مَنْ يَشَاءُ ‏"‏ . قَالَ سَعِيدٌ قَالَ لِي سَفِينَةُ أَمْسِكْ عَلَيْكَ أَبَا بَكْرٍ سَنَتَيْنِ وَعُمَرَ عَشْرًا وَعُثْمَانَ اثْنَتَىْ عَشْرَةَ وَعَلِيٌّ كَذَا . قَالَ سَعِيدٌ قُلْتُ لِسَفِينَةَ إِنَّ هَؤُلاَءِ يَزْعُمُونَ أَنَّ عَلِيًّا عَلَيْهِ السَّلاَمُ لَمْ يَكُنْ بِخَلِيفَةٍ . قَالَ كَذَبَتْ أَسْتَاهُ بَنِي الزَّرْقَاءِ يَعْنِي بَنِي مَرْوَانَ .

English translation
Narrated Safinah: The Prophet (ﷺ) said: The Caliphate of Prophecy will last thirty years; then Allah will give the Kingdom of His Kingdom to anyone He wills. Sa'id told that Safinah said to him: Calculate Abu Bakr's caliphate as two years, 'Umar's as ten, 'Uthman's as twelve and 'Ali so and so. Sa'id said: I said to Safinah: They conceive that 'Ali was not a caliph. He replied: The buttocks of Marwan told a lie
বাংলা অনুবাদ
। সাফিনাহ (রাঃ) সূত্রে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, রাসূলুল্লাহ সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ নাবুওয়াতের ভিত্তিতে পরিচালিত খিলাফাত ত্রিশ বছর অব্যাহত থাকবে। অতঃপর আল্লাহ যাকে ইচ্ছা রাজত্ব বা তাঁর রাজত্ব দান করবেন। সাঈদ (রহঃ) বলেন, আমাকে সাফিনাহ (রাঃ) বলেছেন, হিসেব করো, আবূ বাকর (রাঃ) দু’ বছর, উমার (রাঃ) দশ বছর, উসমান (রাঃ) বারো বছর ও আলী (রাঃ) এতো বছর খিলাফাতের দায়িত্ব পালন করেছেন। সাঈদ (রহঃ) বলেন, আমি সাফিনাহ (রাঃ)-কে বললাম, এরা ধারণা করে যে, আলী (রাঃ) খলিফা ছিলেন না। তিনি বলেন, বনী যারকা অর্থাৎ মারওয়ানের বংশধরগণ মিথ্যা বলেছেন। হাসান সহীহ।
