"I heard Abu As-Siddiq An-Naji narrate a Hadith from Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri who said: 'We feared events to occur after our Prophet, so we asked Allah's Prophet ﷺ, and he said: "Indeed there will be a Mahdi who comes in my Ummah (ruling) living for five, or seven, or nine."- Zaid was the one in doubt- He said: "We said: What is that?" He said: "Years." He said: "A man will come to him and say: O Mahdi! 'Give to me, give to me! So he will fill in his garment whatever he is able to carry.'"

أَنْ يَكُونَ بَعْدَ نَبِيِّنَا حَدَثٌ فَسَأَلْنَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنَّ فِي أُمَّتِي الْمَهْدِيَّ يَخْرُجُ يَعِيشُ خَمْسًا أَوْ سَبْعًا أَوْ تِسْعًا زَيْدٌ الشَّاكُّ قَالَ قُلْنَا وَمَا ذَاكَ قَالَ سِنِينَ قَالَ فَيَجِيءُ إِلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ فَيَقُولُ يَا مَهْدِيُّ أَعْطِنِي أَعْطِنِي قَالَ فَيَحْثِي لَهُ فِي ثَوْبِهِ مَا اسْتَطَاعَ أَنْ يَحْمِلَهُ

[AI] We feared that there might be an event after our Prophet, so we asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . He said, "The Mahdi will come out in my ummah, either five or seven or nine." Zaid Al-Sha'ak said, "What will happen?" He said, "Years." Then he said, "The sky will send down abundant rain, and the earth will not withhold any of its plants. Wealth will be abundant." He said, "Then a man will come to him and say, 'O Mahdi, give me, give me.' He will fill his garment with what he can carry."

خَشِينَا أَنْ يَكُونَ بَعْدَ نَبِيِّنَا حَدَثٌ فَسَأَلْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَخْرُجُ الْمَهْدِيُّ فِي أُمَّتِي خَمْسًا أَوْ سَبْعًا أَوْ تِسْعًا زَيْدٌ الشَّاكُّ قَالَ قُلْنَا أَيُّ شَيْءٍ؟ قَالَ سِنِينَ ثُمَّ قَالَ يُرْسِلُ السَّمَاءَ عَلَيْهِمْ مِدْرَارًا وَلَا تَدَّخِرُ الْأَرْضُ مِنْ نَبَاتِهَا شَيْئًا وَيَكُونُ الْمَالُ كُدُوسًا قَالَ يَجِيءُ الرَّجُلُإِلَيْهِ فَيَقُولُ يَا مَهْدِيُّ أَعْطِنِي أَعْطِنِي قَالَ فَيَحْثِي لَهُ فِي ثَوْبِهِ مَا اسْتَطَاعَ أَنْ يَحْمِلَ

"إِنَّ في أمتى المهدىَّ، يَخْرُجُ يَعِيشُ خمسًا، أو سبعًا، أَو تِسْعًا -شَكَّ زيد- فيجئُ إِليه الرجُلُ فيقولُ: يا مَهْدِى أعْطِنى أَعْطِنى، فَيَحْثِى له في ثَوْبهِ ما استطاع أَنْ يَحْمِلهُ".
