Hadith.5402 - Al-Hasan ibn Mahbub narrated from Muqatil ibn Sulayman from Abu Abdullah 
who said that the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace be upon him and his family) said:
"I am the master of the prophets, and my successor is the master of the successors, and his successors are the masters of the successors.
Indeed, Adam asked Allah (swt), the Glorious and Exalted, to appoint for him a righteous successor.
Allah (swt), the Glorious and Exalted, revealed to him:
'I have honored the prophets with prophethood, and then I selected from My creation individuals and made the best among them the successors.'
So Allah (swt), Exalted is His (swt) remembrance, revealed to him: 'O' Adam, appoint Seth as your successor.'
Thus, Adam appointed Seth, who is the Gift of Allah (swt), son of Adam, as his successor. Seth then appointed his son Shabban as his successor, and Shabban was the son of Nazla Al-Hawra, whom Allah (swt), the Glorious and Exalted, sent down to Adam from Paradise, and Adam married her to his son Seth.
Shabban appointed Muhlith as his successor, Muhlith appointed Mahuq, Mahuq appointed Ghathmisha, Ghathmisha appointed Akhnukh, who is Prophet Idris .
Idris appointed Nahur, and Nahur passed it on to Nuh . Nuh appointed his son Sam, Sam appointed Athamir, and Athamir appointed Barghithasha.
And Barghithasha appointed Yafith as his successor, Yafith appointed Barra, Barra appointed Jafsiya, Jafsiya appointed Imran, and Imran entrusted it to Ibrahim Al-Khalil . Ibrahim appointed his son Ismail, Ismail appointed Ishaq, Ishaq appointed Yaqub, Yaqub appointed Yusuf, Yusuf appointed Bathriya, Bathriya appointed Shuayb, and Shuayb entrusted it to Musa ibn Imran . Musa ibn Imran appointed Yusha ibn Nun, Yusha ibn Nun appointed Dawud, Dawud appointed Sulayman , Sulayman appointed Asif ibn Barkhiya, Asif ibn Barkhiya appointed Zakariya, and Zakariya entrusted it to Isa ibn Maryam . Isa ibn Maryam appointed Shamun ibn Hamun Al-Safa, Shamun appointed Yahya ibn Zakariya, Yahya ibn Zakariya appointed Mundhir, Mundhir appointed Sulaymah, and Sulaymah appointed Burdah."
Then the Messenger of Allah (swt) (peace be upon him and his family) said:
"Burdah entrusted it to me, and I now entrust it to you, O' Ali .
You will entrust it to your successor , and your successor will entrust it to his successors from your offspring, one after another, until it reaches the best of the people of the earth after you.
Surely, the nation will disbelieve in you, and they will differ greatly over you. The one who remains steadfast with you is like the one who remains with me ﷺ, and the one who separates from you will be in the Fire, and the Fire is the abode of the disbelievers."
