Hadith #50795
وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «كَانَتْ بَنُو إِسْرَائِيلَ تَسُوسُهُمُ الْأَنْبِيَاءُ كُلَّمَا هَلَكَ نَبِيُّ خَلَفَهُ نبيٌّ وإِنَّه لَا نبيَّ بعدِي وسيكون حلفاء فَيَكْثُرُونَ» قَالُوا: فَمَا تَأْمُرُنَا؟ قَالَ: «فُوا بَيْعَةَ الْأَوَّلِ فَالْأَوَّلِ أَعْطُوهُمْ حَقَّهُمْ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ سَائِلُهُمْ عَمَّا استرعاهم»
On the authority of Abu Hurairah, on the authority of the Prophet, may God bless him and grant him peace, he said: “The Children of Israel were ruled by the prophets. Whenever a prophet died, another prophet succeeded him. There will be no prophet after me, and there will be allies and they will multiply.” They said: What do you command us to do? He said: “Full the pledge of allegiance to the first, and give them their right to the first. “God will ask them about what He has commanded them.”
