Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 40447 — Reports on the tribulation

It is narrated from Mujahid that he said: One of the Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) (may Allah be pleased with them) narrated to me that the Mahdi will not emerge until the pure soul has been killed. When the pure soul has been killed, those in the heavens and those in the earth will be angry with them. Then the people will come to the Mahdi and will conduct him as a bride is conducted to the house of her husband on her wedding night. He will fill the earth with justice and equity, the earth will bring forth its vegetation, the sky will send down its rain, and my Ummah will live in such ease under his rule as it has never known before.
