This narration from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) is also transmitted with another chain of narration.

(Imam Ibn Hibban, may Allah have mercy on him, says:) Imam Awza'i heard this narration from Zuhri. He also heard this narration from Zuhri through Ibrahim bin Marah, so both of its chains are preserved.

Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Soon after me there will be some caliphs who will act according to what they know and will do what they have been commanded. Then after them there will come some caliphs who will act upon what they do not know and will do what they have not been commanded. So whoever rejects them will be free of blame, but whoever is pleased with them and follows them (his case will be different)."
