Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ، قَالَ عَبْد اللَّهِ وَسَمِعْتُهُ أَنَا مِنْ، مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ الصَّبَّاحِ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ زَكَرِيَّا، عَنْ كَثِيرٍ النَّوَّاءِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مُلَيْلٍ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَلِيًّا، رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ لَيْسَ مِنْ نَبِيٍّ كَانَ قَبْلِي إِلَّا قَدْ أُعْطِيَ سَبْعَةَ نُقَبَاءَ وُزَرَاءَ نُجَبَاءَ وَإِنِّي أُعْطِيتُ أَرْبَعَةَ عَشَرَ وَزِيرًا نَقِيبًا نَجِيبًا سَبْعَةً مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ وَسَبْعَةً مِنْ الْمُهَاجِرِينَ.
English Translation
It was narrated from Katheerun-Nawwa’ that ‘Abdullah bin Mulail said: I heard `Hadrat Ali (may Allah be well pleased with him) say: I heard the Beloved Messenger of Allah (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him) say: “There is no Prophet who came before me but he was given seven chiefs, advisors and nobles, but I have been given fourteen chiefs, advisers and nobles: seven from Quraish and seven from among the Muhajireen.”
