the Messenger of Allah ﷺ asked, "How will you be when ˹Jesus˺ the son of Mary descends amongst you and your Imām (leader) is among you?"  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «كَيْفَ أَنْتُمْ إِذَا نَزَلَ ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ فِيكُمْ وَإِمَامُكُمْ مِنْكُمْ؟»  

the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "What will be your state when ˹Jesus˺ the son of Mary descends amongst you and there will be an Imām (leader) amongst you?"  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «كَيْفَ أَنْتُمْ إِذَا نَزَلَ ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ فِيكُمْ وَإِمَامُكُمْ مِنْكُمْ؟»  

the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "What would you do when ˹Jesus˺ the son of Mary would descend and lead you?"  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «كَيْفَ أَنْتُمْ إِذَا نَزَلَ ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ فِيكُمْ وَأَمَّكُمْ؟»  

that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "What would you do when ˹Jesus˺ the son of Mary would descend amongst you and would lead you as one amongst you?" Ibn Abū Dhiʾb on the authority of Abū Hurayrah narrated: "Your Imām (leader) amongst you."

Ibn Abū Dhiʾb said: Do you know what the words: "He would lead as one amongst you" mean? I said: Explain these to me. He said: He would lead you according to the Book of your Lord ﷻ and the Sunnah of your Prophet ﷺ.  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ: قَالَ «كَيْفَ أَنْتُمْ إِذَا نَزَلَ فِيكُمُ ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ فَأَمَّكُمْ مِنْكُمْ۔» فَقُلْتُ لاِبْنِ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ إِنَّ الأَوْزَاعِيَّ حَدَّثَنَا عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ: «وَإِمَامُكُمْ مِنْكُمْ۔»

قَالَ ابْنُ أَبِي ذِئْبٍ تَدْرِي «مَا أَمَّكُمْ مِنْكُم؟»، قُلْتُ: تُخْبِرُنِي۔ قَالَ: فَأَمَّكُمْ بِكِتَابِ رَبِّكُمْ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى وَسُنَّةِ نَبِيِّكُمْ ﷺ۔  

the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "What state will you be in when ˹Jesus˺ the son of Mary descends amongst you and leads you." or said, "and your Imām (leader) is among you?"  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: «كَيْفَ بِكُمْ إِذَا نَزَلَ بِكُمُ ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ فَأَمَّكُمْ؟» أَوْ قَالَ «إِمَامُكُمْ مِنْكُمْ؟»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "How will it be for you when Jesus, the son of Mary, descends among you and your leader is from amongst you?"  

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ: «كَيْفَ بِكُمْ إِذَا نَزَلَ فِيكُمْ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ وَإِمَامُكُمْ مِنْكُمْ؟»  

What will be your state when the son of Mary descends amongst you and there will be an Imam amongst you? (Using translation from Muslim 155d)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «كَيْفَ أَنْتُمْ إِذَا نَزَلَ ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ فِيكُمْ وَإِمَامُكُمْ مِنْكُمْ»  

«وَكَيف أنتمْ إِذا نزَلَ ابْن مريَمَ فيكْمْ وَإمَامُكم مِنكمْ؟»  

«كَيفَ أنْتُم إِذا نَزلَ ابنُ مرْيَمَ فِيكُم فَأمَّكُم؟»  

I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: "A party of my people will continue to fight for the Truth and will prevail until the Day of Resurrection."

He said: "Then Jesus, the son of Mary, would descend and their Commander (the Mahdī) would invite him to come and lead them in prayer, but he would say: 'No, some amongst you are commanders over some. This is the honor from Allah for this Ummah.'"  

سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ: «لاَ تَزَالُ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِي يُقَاتِلُونَ عَلَى الْحَقِّ ظَاهِرِينَ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ۔»

قَالَ: «فَيَنْزِلُ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ ﷺ فَيَقُولُ أَمِيرُهُمْ: تَعَالَ صَلِّ لَنَا، فَيَقُولُ: لاَ إِنَّ بَعْضَكُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ أُمَرَاءُ تَكْرِمَةَ اللَّهِ هَذِهِ الأُمَّةَ۔»

This is the honour from Allah for this Ummah. (Using translation from Muslim 156)  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ لَا تَزَالُ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِي يُقَاتِلُونَ عَلَى الْحَقِّ ظَاهِرِينَ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ قَالَ فَيَنْزِلُ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ فَيَقُولُ أَمِيرُهُمْ تَعَالَ صَلِّ بِنَا فَيَقُولُ لَا إِنَّ بَعْضَكُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ أَمِيرٌ لِيُكْرِمَ اللهُ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةَ

"لا تَزَالُ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِي يُقَاتِلُونَ عَلَى الحَقِّ، ظَاهِرِينَ إِلَى يَوْم القِيَامَةِ فَيَنْزِلُ عِيسَى ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ، فَيَقُولُ أميرُهُمْ: تَعَال صَلِّ لَنَا، فَيَقُولُ: لا. إِنَّ بَعْضَكُمْ عَلَى بَعْضٍ أمِيرٌ، تكْرِمَةُ اللهِ ﷻ لِهَذِهِ الأُمَّةِ".  

The Prophet ﷺ said: The Mahdi will be of my stock, and will have a broad forehead a prominent nose. He will fill the earth will equity and justice as it was filled with oppression and tyranny, and he will rule for seven years.  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ الْمَهْدِيُّ مِنِّي أَجْلَى الْجَبْهَةِ أَقْنَى الأَنْفِ يَمْلأُ الأَرْضَ قِسْطًا وَعَدْلاً كَمَا مُلِئَتْ جَوْرًا وَظُلْمًا يَمْلِكُ سَبْعَ سِنِينَ  

[Machine] The Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said, "The Hour will not come until a man from my household rules, filling the earth with justice as it was filled with injustice before him, for a period of seven years."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى يَمْلِكَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي أَجْلَى أَقْنَى يَمْلَأُ الْأَرْضَ عَدْلًا كَمَا مُلِئَتْ قَبْلَهُ ظُلْمًا يَكُونُ سَبْعَ سِنِينَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The Hour will not be established until the earth is filled with injustice and aggression." He said, "Then a man from my family or my household will emerge and fill it with justice and fairness, just as it was filled with injustice and aggression."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى تَمْتَلِئَ الْأَرْضُ ظُلْمًا وَعُدْوَانًا قَالَ ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ عِتْرَتِي أَوْ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي مَنْ يَمْلَؤُهَا قِسْطًا وَعَدْلًا كَمَا مُلِئَتْ ظُلْمًا وَعُدْوَانًا  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "The Hour will not be established until the Earth is filled with oppression, injustice, and wrongdoing. Then, from my household, there will emerge someone who will fill it with justice and equity, just as it was filled with oppression and wrongdoing."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى تُمْلَأَ الْأَرْضُ ظُلْمًا وَجَوْرًا وَعُدْوَانًا ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي مَنْ يَمْلَأَهَا قِسْطًا وَعَدْلًا كَمَا مُلِئَتْ ظُلْمًا وَعُدْوَانًا»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "The Hour will not be established until a man from my household rules over the people, filling the earth with justice as it was filled with oppression before him, ruling for seven years."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى يَمْلِكَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي أَقْنَى يَمْلَأُ الْأَرْضَ عَدْلًا كَمَا مُلِئَتْ قَبْلَهُ ظُلْمًا يَمْلِكُ سَبْعَ سِنِينَ»

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The days and nights will not pass until a man from my household will rule, and his name will be the same as mine. He will fill the earth with justice as it was filled with oppression and injustice."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَا يَذْهَبُ الْأَيَّامُ وَاللَّيَالِي حَتَّى يَمْلِكَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي يُوَاطِئُ اسْمُهُ اسْمِي يَمْلَأُ الْأَرْضَ عَدْلًا كَمَا مُلِئَتْ جَوْرًا وَظُلْمًا»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The world will not come to an end until a man from my household, whose name matches mine, fills the earth with justice and fairness, just as it was filled with oppression and injustice."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَا يَذْهَبُ الدُّنْيَا حَتَّى يَمْلِكَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي يُوَافِقُ اسْمُهُ اسْمِي يَمْلَأُ الْأَرْضَ قِسْطًا وَعَدْلًا كَمَا مُلِئَتْ جَوْرًا وَظُلْمًا»  

"لاَ تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى يَمْلِكَ الأرضَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أهْلِ بَيْتِى أَجْلَى أَقْنَى يَمْلأُ الأرْضَ عَدْلًا، كمَا مُلِئَتْ قَبْلَهُ ظُلمًا، يَكُونُ سَبع سنينَ".  

The Prophet ﷺ said: "If only one day of this world remained," – in the narration of Zaʾidah he adds: "Allah will lengthen that day" and he agrees with the rest ˹of the narration˺ – "until He will raise up in it a man (the Mahdī) who is from me" or "from ˹the bloodline˺ of my family. His father's name is the same as my father." In the narration of Fiṭr he adds: "He will fill the earth with equity and justice as it has been filled with oppression and tyranny."

In the narration of Sufyān he adds: "The world will not pass away or end before the Arabs are ruled by a man of my family whose name will be the same as mine."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ: «لَوْ لَمْ يَبْقَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا إِلاَّ يَوْمٌ» قَالَ زَائِدَةُ فِي حَدِيثِهِ: «لَطَوَّلَ اللَّهُ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ» ثُمَّ اتَّفَقُوا: «حَتَّى يَبْعَثَ فِيهِ رَجُلاً مِنِّي» أَوْ «مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي يُوَاطِئُ اسْمُهُ اسْمِي وَاسْمُ أَبِيهِ اسْمَ أَبِي۔» زَادَ فِي حَدِيثِ فِطْرٍ: «يَمْلأُ الأَرْضَ قِسْطًا وَعَدْلاً كَمَا مُلِئَتْ ظُلْمًا وَجَوْرًا۔»

وَقَالَ فِي حَدِيثِ سُفْيَانَ: «لاَ تَذْهَبُ أَوْ لاَ تَنْقَضِي الدُّنْيَا حَتَّى يَمْلِكَ الْعَرَبَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي يُوَاطِئُ اسْمُهُ اسْمِي۔»  

The Prophet ﷺ said: "If only one day of this ˹worldly˺ time remained, Allah would raise up a man (the Mahdī) from my family who would fill this earth with justice as it has been filled with oppression."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ لَوْ لَمْ يَبْقَ مِنَ الدَّهْرِ إِلاَّ يَوْمٌ لَبَعَثَ اللَّهُ رَجُلاً مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي يَمْلأُهَا عَدْلاً كَمَا مُلِئَتْ جَوْرًا  

from the Prophet ﷺ who said: "A man is coming from the people of my family whose name agrees with my name."

ʿāsim said: Abū Ṣālih narrated to us from Abū Hurayrah who said: "If there did not remain in the world but one day, then Allah would extend that day until he comes."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ: «يَلِي رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي يُوَاطِئُ اسْمُهُ اسْمِي۔» قَالَ عَاصِمٌ وَأَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو صَالِحٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: «لَوْ لَمْ يَبْقَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا إِلاَّ يَوْمٌ لَطَوَّلَ اللَّهُ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ حَتَّى يَلِيَ۔»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "If there remained only one day in the world, Allah would lengthen that day until He sends in it a man from among me or from my family, whose name will match my name and his father's name will match my father's name."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَوْ لَمْ يَبْقَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا إِلَّا يَوْمٌ لَطَوَّلَ اللهُ ذَلِكَ الْيَوْمَ حَتَّى يَبْعَثَ اللهُ فِيهِ رَجُلًا مِنِّي أَوْ مِنْ أَهْلِي أَهْلِ بَيْتِي يُوَاطِئُ اسْمُهُ اسْمِي وَاسْمُ أَبِيهِ اسْمَ أَبِي»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "If there was only one night left in the world, Allah would prolong that night until a man from my family rises, whose name matches my name and his father's name matches my father's name. He will fill the earth with justice and fairness, as it has been filled with oppression and injustice."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَوْ لَمْ يَبْقَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا إِلَّا لَيْلَةٌ لَطَوَّلَ اللهُ تِلْكَ اللَّيْلَةَ حَتَّى يَمْلِكَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي يُوَاطِئُ اسْمُهُ اسْمِي وَاسْمُ أَبِيهِ اسْمَ أَبِي يَمْلَأُهَا قِسْطًا وَعَدْلًا كَمَا مُلِئَتْ ظُلْمًا وَجَوْرًا»  

"لَوْ لَمْ يَبْقَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا إِلا يَوْمٌ لَطَوَّلَ الله ذَلِك الْيَوْمَ حَتَّى يُبعثَ فِيهِ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أفضَلِ بَيتِى يُوَاطِئُ اسْمُهُ اسْمِى وَاسْمُ أَبِيهِ اسْمَ أبِي يَمْلأ الأَرْضَ قِسْطًا وَعَدْلًا كَمَا مُلِئَتْ ظُلمًا وَجَوْرًا".  

"عَنِ الْمَهْدِىِّ أَمِيرِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، حَدَّثنِى أَبِى، عَنْ جَدِّه، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قالَ: وَاللهِ لَوْ لَمْ يَبْقَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا إِلا يَوْمٌ لأدَالَ الله مِنْ بَنِى أُمَيَّةَ لَيَكُونَنَّ مِنَّا السَّفَّاحُ، وَالْمَنْصُورُ، وَالْمَهْدِىُّ".  

The Prophet ﷺ said: The religion will continue to be established till there are twelve caliphs over you, and the whole community will agree on each of them. I then heard from the Prophet ﷺ some remarks which I could not understand. I asked my father: What is he saying: He said: all of them will belong to Quraysh.  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لاَ يَزَالُ هَذَا الدِّينُ قَائِمًا حَتَّى يَكُونَ عَلَيْكُمُ اثْنَا عَشَرَ خَلِيفَةً كُلُّهُمْ تَجْتَمِعُ عَلَيْهِ الأُمَّةُ فَسَمِعْتُ كَلاَمًا مِنَ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ لَمْ أَفْهَمْهُ قُلْتُ لأَبِي مَا يَقُولُ قَالَ كُلُّهُمْ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ  

I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: This religion will continue to be strong till the time of twelve caliphs. The people then uttered: Allah is more great and uproared. He then silently a word which I could not understand. So I said to my father: What did he say, father ? He said: All of them will belong to Quraish.  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ لاَ يَزَالُ هَذَا الدِّينُ عَزِيزًا إِلَى اثْنَىْ عَشَرَ خَلِيفَةً قَالَ فَكَبَّرَ النَّاسُ وَضَجُّوا ثُمَّ قَالَ كَلِمَةً خَفِيَّةً قُلْتُ لأَبِي يَا أَبَةِ مَا قَالَ قَالَ كُلُّهُمْ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ  

When he came back to his home. the Quraish came to him and said: Then what will happen ? He said: Then turmoil will prevail.  

بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ زَادَ فَلَمَّا رَجَعَ إِلَى مَنْزِلِهِ أَتَتْهُ قُرَيْشٌ فَقَالُوا ثُمَّ يَكُونُ مَاذَا قَالَ ثُمَّ يَكُونُ الْهَرْجُ  

The Prophet ﷺ said: The Mahdi will be of my family, of the descendants of Fatimah. Abdullah ibn Ja'far said: I heard AbulMalih praising Ali ibn Nufayl and describing his good qualities.  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ الْمَهْدِيُّ مِنْ عِتْرَتِي مِنْ وَلَدِ فَاطِمَةَ قَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ وَسَمِعْتُ أَبَا الْمَلِيحِ يُثْنِي عَلَى عَلِيِّ بْنِ نُفَيْلٍ وَيَذْكُرُ مِنْهُ صَلاَحًا  

The Prophet ﷺ said: Disagreement will occur at the death of a caliph and a man of the people of Medina will come flying forth to Mecca. Some of the people of Mecca will come to him, bring him out against his will and swear allegiance to him between the Corner and the Maqam. An expeditionary force will then be sent against him from Syria but will be swallowed up in the desert between Mecca and Medina. When the people see that, the eminent saints of Syria and the best people of Iraq will come to him and swear allegiance to him between the Corner and the Maqam. Then there will arise a man of Quraysh whose maternal uncles belong to Kalb and send against them an expeditionary force which will be overcome by them, and that is the expedition of Kalb. Disappointed will be the one who does not receive the booty of Kalb. He will divide the property, and will govern the people by the Sunnah of their Prophet ﷺ and establish Islam on Earth. He will remain seven years, then die, and the Muslims will pray over him. Abu Dawud said: Some transmitted from Hisham "nine years" and some "seven years".  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ يَكُونُ اخْتِلاَفٌ عِنْدَ مَوْتِ خَلِيفَةٍ فَيَخْرُجُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ هَارِبًا إِلَى مَكَّةَ فَيَأْتِيهِ نَاسٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ فَيُخْرِجُونَهُ وَهُوَ كَارِهٌ فَيُبَايِعُونَهُ بَيْنَ الرُّكْنِ وَالْمَقَامِ وَيُبْعَثُ إِلَيْهِ بَعْثٌ مِنَ الشَّامِ فَيُخْسَفُ بِهِمْ بِالْبَيْدَاءِ بَيْنَ مَكَّةَ وَالْمَدِينَةِ فَإِذَا رَأَى النَّاسُ ذَلِكَ أَتَاهُ أَبْدَالُ الشَّامِ وَعَصَائِبُ أَهْلِ الْعِرَاقِ فَيُبَايِعُونَهُ بَيْنَ الرُّكْنِ وَالْمَقَامِ ثُمَّ يَنْشَأُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ أَخْوَالُهُ كَلْبٌ فَيَبْعَثُ إِلَيْهِمْ بَعْثًا فَيَظْهَرُونَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَذَلِكَ بَعْثُ كَلْبٍ وَالْخَيْبَةُ لِمَنْ لَمْ يَشْهَدْ غَنِيمَةَ كَلْبٍ فَيَقْسِمُ الْمَالَ وَيَعْمَلُ فِي النَّاسِ بِسُنَّةِ نَبِيِّهِمْ ﷺ وَيُلْقِي الإِسْلاَمُ بِجِرَانِهِ إِلَى الأَرْضِ فَيَلْبَثُ سَبْعَ سِنِينَ ثُمَّ يُتَوَفَّى وَيُصَلِّي عَلَيْهِ الْمُسْلِمُونَ  

How will a man who comes against his will (be swallowed up by the earth), Messenger of Allah ? He replied: All will be swallowed up, but each will be raised according to his intention on the Day of Resurrection.  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِقِصَّةِ جَيْشِ الْخَسْفِ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَكَيْفَ بِمَنْ كَانَ كَارِهًا قَالَ يُخْسَفُ بِهِمْ وَلَكِنْ يُبْعَثُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ عَلَى نِيَّتِهِ  

Ali looked at his son al-Hasan and said: This son of mine is a sayyid (chief) as named by the Prophet ﷺ, and from his loins will come forth a man who will be called by the name of your Prophet ﷺ and resemble him in conduct but not in appearance. He then mentioned the story about his filling the earth with justice.  

قَالَ عَلِيٌّ ؓ وَنَظَرَ إِلَى ابْنِهِ الْحَسَنِ فَقَالَ إِنَّ ابْنِي هَذَا سَيِّدٌ كَمَا سَمَّاهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَسَيَخْرُجُ مِنْ صُلْبِهِ رَجُلٌ يُسَمَّى بِاسْمِ نَبِيِّكُمْ يُشْبِهُهُ فِي الْخُلُقِ وَلاَ يُشْبِهُهُ فِي الْخَلْقِ ثُمَّ ذَكَرَ قِصَّةَ يَمْلأُ الأَرْضَ عَدْلاً  

قَالَ وَنظَرَ إِلَى ابْنِه الحَسَن فَقَالَ: إنَّ ابْنِى هَذَا سيدٌ كَمَا سَماه النَّبى ﷺ سَيَخْرُجُ منْ صُلبِهِ رَجُل يُسَمى اسمَ نَبِيكُّمْ يُشْبِهُهُ في الخُلُقِ، وَلاَ يُشْبِهُهُ في الخَلقِ، يَمْلأُ الأرْضَ عَدْلا  

The Prophet ﷺ said: A man called al-Harith ibn Harrath will come forth from Ma Wara an-Nahr. His army will be led by a man called Mansur who will establish or consolidate things for Muhammad's family as Quraysh consolidated them for the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Every believer must help him, or he said: respond to his sermons.  

النَّبِيُّ ﷺ يَخْرُجُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ وَرَاءِ النَّهْرِ يُقَالُ لَهُ الْحَارِثُ بْنُ حَرَّاثٍ عَلَى مُقَدِّمَتِهِ رَجُلٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ مَنْصُورٌ يُوَطِّئُ أَوْ يُمَكِّنُ لآلِ مُحَمَّدٍ كَمَا مَكَّنَتْ قُرَيْشٌ لِرَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَجَبَ عَلَى كُلِّ مُؤْمِنٍ نَصْرُهُ أَوْ قَالَ إِجَابَتُهُ  

"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  

[Machine] 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  

"يَخْرُجُ الْمَهْدِىُّ فِى أُمَّتِى خَمْسًا، أو سَبْعًا، أَوْ تِسْعًا، ثم يرسِلُ السَمَاءَ عَلَيْهِمْ مِدْرَارًا، وَلَا تَدَّخِرُ الأَرضُ مِن نَبَاتِهَا شَيْئًا، وَيَكونُ المالُ كُدُوسًا، يجئ الرَّجُل إِليهِ فَيَقولُ: يَا مهدىُّ أعطنى أعطنى، فَيَحْثِى له فِى ثَوبِهِ ما استطَاع أن يَحْمِلَ".  

the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The world shall not pass away until a man from the people of my family rules the Arabs whose name agrees with my name."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ: «لاَ تَذْهَبُ الدُّنْيَا حَتَّى يَمْلِكَ الْعَرَبَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي يُوَاطِئُ اسْمُهُ اسْمِي۔»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The Hour will not come until a man from my Ahlul-Bayt (family) rules, and his name matches my name and his father's name matches my father's name, and he fills the earth with justice and fairness."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «لَا تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى يَمْلِكَ النَّاسَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي يُوَاطِئُ اسْمُهُ اسْمِي وَاسْمُ أَبِيهِ اسْمَ أَبِي فَيَمْلَؤُهَا قِسْطًا وَعَدْلًا»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "The world will not come to an end until a man from my family fills the earth with justice and fairness, just as it was filled with oppression and tyranny. His name will match mine."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «لَا يَذْهَبُ الدُّنْيَا حَتَّى يَلِيَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي يَمْلَأُ الْأَرْضَ قِسْطًا وَعَدْلًا كَمَا مُلِئَتْ ظُلْمًا وَجَوْرًا يُوَاطِئُ اسْمُهُ اسْمِي»  

"I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: 'We, the sons of 'Abdul-Muttalib, will be leaders of the people of Paradise: Myself, Hamzah. 'Ali, Ja'far, Hasan, Husain and Mahdi."  

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ نَحْنُ وَلَدَ عَبْدِ الْمُطَّلِبِ سَادَةُ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ أَنَا وَحَمْزَةُ وَعَلِيٌّ وَجَعْفَرٌ وَالْحَسَنُ وَالْحُسَيْنُ وَالْمَهْدِيُّ  

"إِنَّا معشرَ بنى عبد المطلب، سادة أَهلِ الجنَّةِ. أنا وحمزةُ وجعفرٌ وعلىٌ والحسنُ والحسين والمهدىُّ ".  

"نَحْنُ بَنُو عَبْدِ المُطَّلِبِ، سَادَةُ أَهْلِ الجَنَّةِ: أَنَا وَحَمْزَةُ وَعَلِيّ وَجَعْفَر وَالحَسَنُ وَالحُسَينُ وَالمَهْدِيُّ".  

"While we were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, some youngsters from Banu Hashim came along. When the Prophet ﷺ saw them, his eyes filled with tears and his color changed. I said: 'We still see something in your face that we do not like (to see).' He said: 'We are members of a Household for whom Allah has chosen the Hereafter over this world. The people of my Household will face calamity, expulsion and exile after I am gone, until some people will come from the east carrying black banners. They will ask for something good but will not be given it. Then they will fight and will be victorious, then they will be given what they wanted, but they will not accept it and will give leadership to a man from my family. Then they will fill it with justice just as it was filled with injustice. Whoever among you lives to see that, let him go to them even if he has to crawl over snow.'"  

بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذْ أَقْبَلَ فِتْيَةٌ مِنْ بَنِي هَاشِمٍ فَلَمَّا رَآهُمُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ اغْرَوْرَقَتْ عَيْنَاهُ وَتَغَيَّرَ لَوْنُهُ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ مَا نَزَالُ نَرَى فِي وَجْهِكَ شَيْئًا نَكْرَهُهُ فَقَالَ إِنَّا أَهْلُ بَيْتٍ اخْتَارَ اللَّهُ لَنَا الآخِرَةَ عَلَى الدُّنْيَا وَإِنَّ أَهْلَ بَيْتِي سَيَلْقَوْنَ بَعْدِي بَلاَءً وَتَشْرِيدًا وَتَطْرِيدًا حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ قَوْمٌ مِنْ قِبَلِ الْمَشْرِقِ مَعَهُمْ رَايَاتٌ سُودٌ فَيَسْأَلُونَ الْخَيْرَ فَلاَ يُعْطَوْنَهُ فَيُقَاتِلُونَ فَيُنْصَرُونَ فَيُعْطَوْنَ مَا سَأَلُوا فَلاَ يَقْبَلُونَهُ حَتَّى يَدْفَعُوهَا إِلَى رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي فَيَمْلَؤُهَا قِسْطًا كَمَا مَلَؤُوهَا جَوْرًا فَمَنْ أَدْرَكَ ذَلِكَ مِنْكُمْ فَلْيَأْتِهِمْ وَلَوْ حَبْوًا عَلَى الثَّلْجِ
