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

حدثنا ابن المبارك، وابن ثور، وعبد الرزاق، عن معمر، عن قتادة، قال عبد الرزاق: عن معمر، عن سعيد بن أبي عروبة، عن قتادة، قال: قلت لسعيد بن المسيب، المهدي حق هو؟ قال: «حق» ، قال: قلت: ممن هو؟ قال: «من قريش» ، قلت: من أي قريش؟ قال: «من بني هاشم» ، قلت: من أي بني هاشم؟ قال: «من بني عبد المطلب» ، قلت: من أي عبد المطلب؟ قال: «من ولد فاطمة»

Right, he said: I said: Who is he from? He said: From Quraysh. I said: From which Quraysh? He said: From Bani Hashem. I said: From which Bani Hashem? He said: From Bani Abdul Muttalib. I said: From which Abdul Muttalib? He said: From the children of Fatima

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #1082 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.
