حدثنا عبد الرزاق، حدثنا معمر، عن الزهري، أخبرني الأغر أبو عبد الله، صاحب أبي هريرة، عن أبي هريرة، قال: " إذا كان يوم الجمعة، جلست الملائكة على أبواب المسجد، يكتبون كل من جاء إلى الجمعة، فإذا خرج الإمام، طوت الملائكة الصحف، ودخلت تسمع الذكر " قال: وقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم: " المهجر إلى الجمعة كالمهدي بدنة، ثم كالمهدي بقرة، ثم كالمهدي شاة، ثم كالمهدي دجاجة، ثم كالمهدي - حسبته قال - بيضة "

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #7766 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.
