حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، قَال : سَمِعْتُ زَيْدًا الْعَمِّيَّ، قَال : سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الصِّدِّيقِ النَّاجِيَّ يُحَدِّثُ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ : خَشِينَا أَنْ يَكُونَ بَعْدَ نَبِيِّنَا حَدَثٌ ، فَسَأَلْنَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، 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 " ، قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَى : هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ ، وَقَدْ رُوِيَ مِنْ غَيْرِ وَجْهٍ ، عَنِ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَأَبُو الصِّدِّيقِ النَّاجِيُّ اسْمُهُ بَكْرُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو ، وَيُقَالُ : بَكْرُ بْنُ قَيْسٍ .
´Zaid bin Al-'Ammi said:` "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(s.a.w), 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.'"

Benefits and Issues:
➊
Our esteemed researcher has declared the mentioned narration weak in terms of its chain of transmission, whereas other scholars have classified it as authentic (sahih) or good (hasan). After reading the research discussions of these scholars, it becomes clear that the mentioned narration at the very least reaches the level of hasan li ghayrihi, which is considered acceptable as evidence among the hadith scholars (muhaddithin). And Allah knows best. For further details, see: (al-Rawd al-Nadhir: 647 and Sunan Ibn Majah, edited by Dr. Bashar Awwad, no. 4083)
➋
The Mahdi will be a righteous man from the descendants of Fatimah radi Allahu anha, whose name will be after the name of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam (Muhammad), and his father's name will be after the name of the Prophet's sallallahu alayhi wa sallam father (Abdullah). During his seven-year rule, there will be complete peace and prosperity. See: (Jami‘ al-Tirmidhi, al-Fitan, Chapter: What has come regarding the Mahdi, Hadith: 2231 and Sunan Abi Dawud, Book of al-Mahdi, Hadith: 4282)
➌
In the past, some people have falsely claimed to be the Mahdi, which was not correct. For this reason, some people in the modern era have started to deny the Mahdi altogether. This approach is not correct. While refuting the false claimant, one should not deny the true one.
