Hadhrat Abdullah bin Mas'ood(RA) reports from the Prophet(SAW), who said:
|
The world will not come to pass until a man from among my family, whose name will be my name, rules over the Arabs. |
The Prophet( SAW) said:
|
Allah
will bring out from concealment al-Mahdi from my family and just before
the day of Judgment; even if only one day were to remain in the life of
the world, and he will spread on this earth justice and equity and will
eradicate tyranny and oppression. |
Hadhrat Ali(RA) narrates that Rasulullah(SAW) said:
|
Even
if only a day remains for Qiyamah to come, yet Allah will surely send a
man from my family who will fill this world with such justice and
fairness, just as it initially was filled with oppression. |
Ali b. Abi Talib(RA) has related a tradition from the Prophet(SAW) who informed him:
|
The promised Mahdi will be among my family. God will make the provisions for his emergence within a single night. |
Hazrat Umme Salmah(RA), Prophet's wife, narrates that she heard the Prophet(SAW) say:
|
The promised Mahdi will be among my progeny, among the descendants of Fatima. |
Rasulullah(SAW) announced:
|
The Mahdi will be of my family, of the descendants of Fatima (the Prophet's daughter). (Sunan Ibn Majah, Vol. 2, Tradition No. 4086) |
The Prophet(SAW) taught:
|
Al-Mahdi is one of us, the members of the household (Ahlul-Bayt). |
Abu Sa'id al-Khudari(RA) narrated that the Prophet(SAW) said:
|
Our
Mahdi will have a broad forehead and a pointed (prominent) nose. He
will fill the earth with justice as it is filled with injustice and
tyranny. He will rule for seven years. |
Hadhrat Abu Saeed Khudri(RA) relates that Rasulullah(SAW) said:
|
Al Mahdi will be from my progeny. His forehead will be broad and his nose will be high. He will fill the world with justice and fairness at a time when the world will be filled with oppression. He will rule for seven years. |
Hadhrat Umme Salmah(RA) narrates that Rasulullah(SAW) said:
|
After the death of a Ruler there will be some dispute between the people. At that time a citizen of Madina will flee (from Madina) and go to Makkah. While in Makkah, certain people will approach him between Hajrul Aswad and Maqaame Ibraheem, and forcefully pledge their allegiance to him. Thereafter a huge army will proceed from Syria to attack him but when they will be at Baida, which is between Makkah and Madina, they will be swallowed into the ground. On
seeing this, the Abdaals of Shaam as well as large numbers of people
from Iraq will come to him and pledge their allegiance to him. Then a
person from the Quraish, whose uncle will be from the Bani Kalb tribe
will send an army to attack him, only to be overpowered, by the will of
Allah. This (defeated) army will be that of the Bani Kalb. Unfortunate
indeed is he who does not receive a share from the booty of the Kalb.
This person (Imam Mahdi) will distribute the spoils of war after the
battle. He will lead the people according to the Sunnat and during his
reign Islam will spread throughout the world. He will remain till seven
years (since his emergence). He will pass away and the Muslims will
perform his Janazah salaat. |
The holy Prophet(SAW) said:
|
A
group of my Ummah will fight for the truth until near the day of
judgment when Jesus, the son of Marry, will descend, and the leader of
them will ask him to lead the prayer, but Jesus declines, saying: "No,
Verily, among you Allah has made leaders for others and He has bestowed
his bounty upon them. |
It is reported from Abu Hurayra(RA) that the Prophet(SAW) said:
|
What will be your reaction when the son of Mary (Jesus) descends and your Imam is from among yourselves? |
The holy Prophet(SAW) said:
|
What would be your situation if the Son of Mary (i.e. Jesus) descends upon you and your Imam is from among you? |
