[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "From my nation, there will be a Mahdi. If his life is long, it will be seven, eight, or nine years. He will fill the earth with justice and fairness, and the earth will bring forth its vegetation, and the heavens will rain its drops."  

أحمد:١١٢١٢حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ نُمَيْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى يَعْنِي الْجُهَنِيَّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُزَيْدًا الْعَمِّيَّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الصِّدِّيقِ النَّاجِيُّ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيَّ قَالَ

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَكُونُ مِنْ أُمَّتِي الْمَهْدِيُّ فَإِنْ طَالَ عُمْرُهُ أَوْ قَصُرَ عُمْرُهُ عَاشَ سَبْعَ سِنِينَ أَوْ ثَمَانِ سِنِينَ أَوْ تِسْعَ سِنِينَ يَمْلَأُ الْأَرْضَ قِسْطًا وَعَدْلًا وَتُخْرِجُ الْأَرْضُ نَبَاتَهَا وَتُمْطِرُ السَّمَاءُ قَطْرَهَا
