حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ حَدَّثَنَا عَاصِمٌ عَنْ زِرٍّ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ يَعْنِي ابْنَ مَسْعُودٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ”لَا تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى يَلِيَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي يُوَاطِئُ اسْمُهُ اسْمِي“ قَالَ أَبِي حَدَّثَنَا بِهِ فِي بَيْتِهِ فِي غُرْفَتِهِ أُرَاهُ سَأَلَهُ بَعْضُ وَلَدِ جَعْفَرِ بْنِ يَحْيَى أَوْ يَحْيَى بْنِ خَالِدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: The Hour will not be established until a man from my Ahl al-Bayt becomes the ruler; he will have my name. Imam Ahmad said: Sufyan bin 'Uyaynah narrated this hadith to us in a room of his house when a son of Ja'far bin Yahya or Yahya bin Khalid asked him about this hadith.
Hadith 12919
وَعَنْهُ أَيْ ابْنِ مَسْعُودٍ بِلَفْظٍ آخَرَ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ”لَا تَنْقَضِي الْأَيَّامُ وَلَا يَذْهَبُ الدَّهْرُ حَتَّى يَمْلِكَ الْعَرَبَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي اسْمُهُ يُوَاطِئُ اسْمِي“
It is also narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: These days and this era will not end until a man from my Ahl al-Bayt, whose name will be like my name, becomes the ruler of the land of Arabia.

وَعَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ”لَوْ لَمْ يَبْقَ مِنَ الدُّنْيَا إِلَّا يَوْمٌ لَبَعَثَ اللَّهُ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ رَجُلًا مِنَّا يَمْلَؤُهَا عَدْلًا كَمَا مُلِئَتْ جَوْرًا“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Even if only one day remains of the world, Allah Almighty will still send a man from among us, who will fill the earth with justice and fairness, just as it had previously been filled with oppression and tyranny.
Hadith 12921
وَعَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ”لَا تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى يَمْلِكَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي أَجْلَى أَقْنَى يَمْلَأُ الْأَرْضَ عَدْلًا كَمَا مُلِئَتْ قَبْلَهُ ظُلْمًا يَكُونُ سَبْعَ سِنِينَ“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him), the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: The Day of Judgment will not be established until a man from my Ahl al-Bayt comes to power; he will be extremely handsome with a high nose, and he will fill the earth with justice and fairness just as it was previously filled with oppression and injustice. He will remain for seven years.
Hadith 12922
وَعَنْهُ أَيْضًا قَالَ خَشِينَا أَنْ يَكُونَ بَعْدَ نَبِيِّنَا حَدَثٌ فَسَأَلْنَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ ”يَخْرُجُ الْمَهْدِيُّ فِي أُمَّتِي خَمْسًا أَوْ سَبْعًا أَوْ تِسْعًا“ زَيْدٌ الشَّاكُّ أَحَدُ الرُّوَاةِ قَالَ قُلْتُ أَيُّ شَيْءٍ قَالَ ”سِنِينَ“ ثُمَّ قَالَ ”تُرْسِلُ السَّمَاءُ عَلَيْهِمْ مِدْرَارًا وَلَا تَدَّخِرُ الْأَرْضُ مِنْ نَبَاتِهَا شَيْئًا وَيَكُونُ الْمَالُ كُدُوسًا“ قَالَ ”يَجِيءُ الرَّجُلُ إِلَيْهِ فَيَقُولُ يَا مَهْدِيُّ أَعْطِنِي أَعْطِنِي قَالَ فَيَحْثِي لَهُ فِي ثَوْبِهِ مَا اسْتَطَاعَ أَنْ يَحْمِلَ“
It is also narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri, may Allah be pleased with him, who says: We feared that after the Noble Prophet, various incidents would occur in the world, so we asked the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, about this, and he, peace and blessings be upon him, said: In my Ummah, a person, Mahdi, will appear for five, or seven, or nine. The narrator Zaid was in doubt, so I asked: What is meant by this number? He said: Years. Then he, peace and blessings be upon him, said: The sky will pour down torrential rains upon the people, and the earth will not withhold anything of its crops within itself, and there will be heaps of wealth and riches. A man will come to him and say: O Mahdi! Give me, give me, so he will put as much as the man is able to carry into his garment.
Hadith 12923
وَعَنْهُ أَيْضًا قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ”أُبَشِّرُكُمْ بِالْمَهْدِيِّ يُبْعَثُ فِي أُمَّتِي عَلَى اخْتِلَافٍ مِنَ النَّاسِ وَزَلَازِلَ فَيَمْلَأُ الْأَرْضَ قِسْطًا وَعَدْلًا كَمَا مُلِئَتْ جَوْرًا وَظُلْمًا يَرْضَى عَنْهُ سَاكِنُ السَّمَاءِ وَسَاكِنُ الْأَرْضِ يَقْسِمُ الْمَالَ صِحَاحًا“ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ مَا صِحَاحًا قَالَ ”بِالسَّوِيَّةِ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ“ قَالَ ”وَيَمْلَأُ اللَّهُ قُلُوبَ أُمَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ غِنًى وَيَسَعُهُمْ عَدْلُهُ حَتَّى يَأْمُرَ مُنَادِيًا فَيُنَادِي فَيَقُولُ مَنْ لَهُ فِي مَالٍ حَاجَةٌ فَمَا يَقُومُ مِنَ النَّاسِ إِلَّا رَجُلٌ فَيَقُولُ ائْتِ السَّدَّانَ يَعْنِي الْخَازِنَ فَقُلْ لَهُ إِنَّ الْمَهْدِيَّ يَأْمُرُكَ أَنْ تُعْطِيَنِي مَالًا فَيَقُولُ لَهُ احْثِ حَتَّى إِذَا جَعَلَهُ فِي حِجْرِهِ وَائْتَزَرَهُ نَدِمَ فَيَقُولُ كُنْتُ أَجْشَعَ أُمَّةِ مُحَمَّدٍ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَفْسًا أَوَ عَجَزَ عَنِّي مَا وَسِعَهُمْ قَالَ فَيَرُدَّهُ فَلَا يَقْبَلُ مِنْهُ فَيُقَالُ لَهُ إِنَّا لَا نَأْخُذُ شَيْئًا أَعْطَيْنَاهُ فَيَكُونُ كَذَلِكَ سَبْعَ سِنِينَ أَوْ ثَمَانَ سِنِينَ أَوْ تِسْعَ سِنِينَ ثُمَّ لَا خَيْرَ فِي الْعَيْشِ بَعْدَهُ أَوْ قَالَ ثُمَّ لَا خَيْرَ فِي الْحَيَاةِ بَعْدَهُ“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When discord will be rampant among my Ummah and earthquakes will be occurring, I give you the glad tidings of Mahdi, who will fill the earth with justice and fairness just as it was previously filled with oppression and tyranny. All those in the heavens and the earth will be pleased with him. He will distribute wealth among the people with equality, and Allah Almighty will fill the hearts of the Ummah of Muhammad with contentment. His justice and fairness will reach everyone. He will order a caller to announce: “Whoever is in need of wealth, let him come.” Upon hearing this announcement, only one man will stand up. Mahdi will say to him: “Go and tell the treasurer that Mahdi commands you to give me wealth.” The treasurer will say to him: “Take as much as you wish.” When he fills his cloak with a great amount of wealth and ties it up, he will feel remorse and say: “Among the Ummah of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), I turned out to be the most impatient. Has that thing which reached all of them become insufficient for me?” So he will return that wealth, but Mahdi will not accept it from him, and it will be said to him: “Whatever we give, we do not take back.” For seven, or eight, or nine years, such prosperity will prevail, after which there will be no good in living.
Hadith 12924
وَعَنْ ثَوْبَانَ مَوْلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ”إِذَا رَأَيْتُمُ الرَّايَاتِ السُّودَ قَدْ جَاءَتْ مِنْ قِبَلِ خُرَاسَانَ فَأْتُوهَا فَإِنَّ فِيهَا خَلِيفَةَ اللَّهِ الْمَهْدِيَّ“
Mawla of the Messenger, Sayyiduna Thawban (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) said: When you see black flags coming from the direction of Khurasan, then go towards them and join them, for among them will be Allah’s Caliph, Mahdi.
Hadith 12925
وَعَنْ عَلِيٍّ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ”الْمَهْدِيُّ مِنَّا أَهْلَ الْبَيْتِ يُصْلِحُهُ اللَّهُ فِي لَيْلَةٍ“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ali (may Allah be pleased with him), the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The Mahdi will be from among us, the Ahl al-Bayt. Allah Almighty will rectify him in a single night.
