حدثنا إسماعيل هو ابن علية، عن الجريري، عن أبي نضرة، قال: كنا عند جابر بن عبد الله، قال: يوشك أهل العراق أن لا يجبى إليهم قفيز، ولا درهم، قلنا: من أين ذاك؟ قال: من قبل العجم، يمنعون ذلك، ثم قال: يوشك أهل الشام أن لا يجبى إليهم دينار، ولا مدي، قلنا: من أين ذاك؟ من قبل الروم يمنعون ذاك، قال: ثم سكت هنيهة، ثم قال: قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: " يكون في آخر أمتي خليفة، يحثو المال حثوا، لا يعده عدا "، قال الجريري: فقلت لأبي نضرة: وأبي العلاء: " أتريانه عمر بن عبد العزيز؟ " فقالا: " لا "

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #14406 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.

[Core Subject]: Al-Rum, the Romans, were the Byzantine Empire in the Prophet's time. Many narrations about the end speak of the Muslims' relations with them: a truce, a joint war, then the great battle.

[Described Characteristics]: Amr ibn al-As heard that the Hour will come when the Romans are the most numerous of people, and he listed their good qualities: they are the most forbearing in trial, the quickest to recover after a disaster, the best to the poor, orphans and the weak, and they resist the oppression of kings.

[Timeline & Context]: Their part runs through the whole time before the Dajjal: first the truce, then the war, then the conquest of Constantinople.

[Prophetic Practice]: Amr's words teach fairness: name the good in others even when speaking of conflict.

[Geographical Locations]: Mentioned in narration : Sham (Greater Syria), Iraq.
