Question:
This questioner says: Our noble Shaykh, how long was the duration of the caliphate of each of the two caliphs (may Allah be pleased with them both)?
Answer:
By Allah, it does not come to my mind right now, but the shortest of the caliphs' durations was that of Abu Bakr al-Siddiq (may Allah be pleased with him), then 'Umar, then 'Uthman, then 'Ali. Their durations extended to more than ten years, or ten years, because the entire duration of the caliphate was thirty years, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) informed us that the caliphate after him would be Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
