Kitab al-Fitan of Nu'aym ibn Hammad: ungraded, and weak overall. Never established on its own.

Traced to Ka'b al-Ahbar (automatic guess): a report of earlier scriptures, not a hadith of the Prophet ﷺ.

حدثنا الوليد، عمن حدثه وقرأه، عن كعب، قال: «قادة المهدي خير الناس، أهل نصرته وبيعته من أهل كوفان واليمن، وأبدال الشام، مقدمته جبريل، وساقته ميكائيل، محبوب في الخلائق، يطفئ الله تعالى الفتنة العمياء، وتأمن الأرض، حتى إن المرأة لتحج في خمس نسوة ما معهن رجل، لا تتقي شيئا إلا الله، تعطي الأرض زكاتها، والسماء بركتها»

The leaders of the Mahdi are the best of people. The people who supported him and pledged allegiance to him were from the people of Kufan ​​and Yemen, and the Abdal of the Sham (Greater Syria). His leader was Gabriel, and his leader was Michael. He is beloved among creation. Allah Almighty will extinguish blind strife, and the earth will be secure, so much so that a woman will perform Hajj with five women who do not have a man with her. She does not fear anything except Allah. She gives the earth her alms, and the sky her blessing.

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #1030 in Kitab al-Fitan (Nu'aym ibn Hammad).

[Scholarly Verification Notice]: Recorded in Nu'aym ibn Hammad's Kitab al-Fitan (d. 228 AH). Hadith scholars classify this historical compilation as ungraded and weak overall; its isolated reports are not accepted as established doctrine unless corroborated by standard Sahih works.

[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.

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