I heard ‘Ali ؓ say: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “If there was only one day left of this world, Allah, may He be glorified and exalted, would send a man from us [Ahlul Bait] to fill it with justice as it was filled with injustice.” Abu Nuʿaim said: ʿA man from me.ʿ He said: On one occasion I heard him narrate it from Habeeb from Abut-Tufail from ʿAli ؓ from the Prophet ﷺ.
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَوْ لَمْ يَبْقَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا إِلا يَوْمٌ لَبَعَثَ اللهُ ﷻ رَجُلًا مِنَّا يَمْلَؤُهَا عَدْلًا كَمَا مُلِئَتْ جَوْرًا قَالَ أَبُو نُعَيْمٍ رَجُلًا مِنِّي قَالَ وَسَمِعْتُهُ مَرَّةً يَذْكُرُهُ عَنْ حَبِيبٍ عَنْ أَبِي الطُّفَيْلِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ
