حدثنا خلف بن الوليد، حدثنا عباد بن عباد، حدثنا مجالد بن سعيد ، عن أبي الوداك، عن أبي سعيد الخدري قال: قلت والله ما يأتي علينا أمير إلا هو شر من الماضي، ولا عام إلا وهو شر من الماضي قال: لولا شيء سمعته من رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم لقلت مثل ما يقول، ولكن سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول: " إن من أمرائكم أميرا يحثي المال حثيا ولا يعده عدا، يأتيه الرجل يسأله فيقول: خذ فيبسط الرجل ثوبه فيحثي فيه "، وبسط رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ملحفة غليظة، كانت عليه، يحكي صنيع الرجل، ثم جمع إليه أكنافها، قال: " فيأخذه ثم ينطلق "

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #11940 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.
