The hadith of the twelve successors, or twelve caliphs (Arabic: حديث الاثني عشر خليفة, romanized: ḥadīth al-ithnā ‘ashar khalīfah) is an Islamic prophecy, attributed to Muhammad. It is perhaps most popular among Twelver Shiites, as they affirm the prophecy was fulfilled by the Twelve Imams. It is also recorded in the two major Sunni hadith books, Sahih Bukhari and Sahih Muslim. According to the prophecy there will reign twelve caliphs—presumably the first being crowned upon the Prophet's death—and after which the Caliphate would either cease to exist or lose significant political influence. It is stated that all twelve caliphs will be from the tribe of Quraysh.

The hadith states: Narrated Jabir ibn Samura: I heard the Prophet (s) saying: "There will be Twelve Commanders." He then said a sentence which I did not hear. My father said, the Prophet added, "All of them will be from Quraysh."Sahih al-Bukhari (English), Hadith: Volume 9 Book 89 Hadith 329, Kitabul Ahkam; Sahih al-Bukhari, (Arabic), 4:165, Kitabul Ahkam] The Prophet (s) said: "The Religion (Islam) will continue until the Hour (Day of Resurrection), having Twelve Caliphs for you, all of them will be from Quraysh" [Sahih Muslim, (English), Chapter DCCLIV, v3, p1010, Tradition #4483; Sahih Muslim (Arabic), Kitab al-Imaara, 1980 Saudi Arabian Edition, v3, p1453, Tradition #10][1]The hadith is found in both Shia and Sunni books and is regarded authentic and sahih by both sects of Islam.

Above the Prophet of Islam, Muhammad states that will twelve successors will succeed him and that they will be of the Quraysh tribe, of Muhammad's family and kin, the Ahl al-Bayt. Shias argue that Abu Bakr, Umar and Uthman were not of Muhammad's tribe therefore the wrongful successors. All of the twelve imams in Shia Islam, are of the Quraysh tribe and trace there way back as being descendants of Muhammad, thus supporting the true meaning of this Hadith and the successors of the Muhammad. [2][3]

Another interpretation is that the prophecy was fulfilled by the Rashidun Caliphs.[4] Some commentators, such as Ibn Kathir and Ibn Taymiyya, link this hadith with the biblical account of Moses and his twelve deputies.[5][6][7][8]
