ذِكْرُ الْخَبَرِ الْمُصَرِّحِ بِأَنَّ الْقَوْمَ الَّذِينَ يُخْسَفُ بِهِمْ إِنَّمَا هُمُ الْقَاصِدُونَ إِلَى الْمَهْدِيِّ فِي زَوَالِ الْأَمْرِ عَنْهُ
[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "There will be disagreement upon the death of a Caliph, and a man from the Quraysh, from the people of Madinah, will come out to Makkah. People from Makkah will come to him and forcibly remove him, while he is reluctant. Then they will pledge allegiance to him between the corner of the Kaaba and the Station of Ibrahim. They will send an army from the people of Sham (Greater Syria) against him. When they reach the barren land, they will be swallowed by the earth. When the people learn about this, the people of Sham and a group from the people of Iraq will come to him and pledge allegiance to him. Then a man from the Quraysh, whose paternal relatives belong to the Kalb tribe, will send an army against them and defeat them. Then Islam will appear victorious and he will distribute among the people. He will remain for seven years."
قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَكُونُ اخْتِلَافٌ عِنْدَ مَوْتِ خَلِيفَةٍ فَيَخْرُجُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ إِلَى مَكَّةَ فَيَأْتِيهِ نَاسٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ فَيُخْرِجُونَهُ وَهُوَ كَارِهٌ فَيُبَايعُونَهُ بَيْنَ الرُّكْنِ وَالْمَقَامِ فَيَبْعَثُونَ إِلَيْهِ جَيْشًا مِنْ أَهْلِ الشَّامِ فَإِذَا كَانُوا بِالْبَيْدَاءِ خُسِفَ بِهِمْ فَإِذَا بَلَغَ النَّاسَ ذَلِكَ أَتَاهُ أَبْدَالُ أَهْلِ الشَّامِ وَعِصَابَةُ أَهْلِ الْعِرَاقِ فَيُبَايعُونَهُ وَيَنْشَأُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ أَخْوَالُهُ مِنْ كَلْبٍ فَيَبْعَثُ إِلَيْهِمْ جَيْشًا فَيَهْزِمُونَهُمْ وَيَظْهَرُونَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَيَقْسِمُ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ فَيْأَهُمْ وَيَعْمَلُ فِيهِمْ بِسُنَّةِ نَبِيِّهِمْ ﷺ وَيُلْقِي الْإِسْلَامُ بِجِرَانِهِ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ يَمْكُثُ سَبْعَ سِنِينَ» *
