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

حدثنا ضمرة، عن ابن شوذب، عن مطر، قال: ذكر عنده عمر بن عبد العزيز فقال: «بلغنا أن المهدي يصنع شيئا لم يصنعه عمر بن عبد العزيز» ، قلنا: ما هو؟ قال: " يأتيه رجل فيسأله، فيقول: ادخل بيت المال فخذ، فيدخل فيأخذ، فيخرج، فيرى الناس شباعا فيندم، فيرجع إليه، فيقول: خذ ما أعطيتني، فيأبى ويقول: إنا نعطي ولا نأخذ "

We heard that the Mahdi is doing something that Omar bin Abdul Aziz did not do, so we said: What is it? He said: “A man comes to him and asks him, and he says: Enter the treasury and take it. He enters and takes, then goes out, and sees the people are full and regrets it. Then he returns to him and says: Take what you gave me, but he refuses and says: We give and we do not take.”

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #1033 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.
