حدثنا محمد بن جعفر، حدثنا شعبة، قال: سمعت زيدا أبا الحواري، قال: سمعت أبا الصديق، يحدث عن أبي سعيد الخدري، قال: خشينا أن يكون بعد نبينا حدث، فسألنا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال: " يخرج المهدي في أمتي خمسا أو سبعا أو تسعا " - زيد الشاك - قال: قلنا : أي شيء؟ قال: " سنين "، ثم قال: " يرسل السماء عليهم مدرارا، ولا تدخر الأرض من نباتها شيئا، ويكون المال كدوسا " قال: " يجيء الرجل إليه فيقول: يا مهدي أعطني أعطني، قال: فيحثي له في ثوبه ما استطاع أن يحمل "

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #11163 in Musnad Ahmad.

[Core Subject]: The Mahdi ('the rightly guided one') is a man from the Prophet's family, through Fatimah, who will lead the Muslims near the end of time and fill the earth with justice as it had been filled with oppression.

[Described Characteristics]: His name will match the Prophet's name and his father's name the Prophet's father's name (Muhammad ibn Abdullah). He has a broad forehead and a fine, high nose. He rules for seven years, wealth is plentiful in his time, and he gives it out by the handful without counting. Isa (AS) descends while he is about to lead the prayer.

[Timeline & Context]: He comes before the Dajjal, in the time of the great wars with the Romans, around the conquest of Constantinople and the descent of Isa (AS).

[Prophetic Practice]: Waiting for a rescuer is not the Sunnah. Work for justice where you are, and do not follow anyone who claims the title.
