وعن ابن عمر ان النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: «لا يزال هذا الامر في قريش ما بقي منهم اثنان» . متفق عليه
Ibn `Umar reported the Prophet as saying, "This matter will continue in Quraish as long as two of them remain [*] . *Mirqat, 5:508, explains this as meaning that the Caliphate will remain the prerogative of Quraish as long as two human beings survive. (Bukhari and Muslim.)
