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 بن مسلم، عمن حدثه عن كعب، قال: «يموت المهدي موتا، ثم يلي الناس بعده رجل من أهل بيته فيه خير وشر، وشره أكثر من خيره، يغضب الناس، يدعوهم إلى الفرقة بعد الجماعة، بقاؤه قليل، يثور به رجل من أهل بيته فيقتله، فيقتتل الناس بعده قتالا شديدا، وبقاء الذي قتله بعده قليل، ثم يموت موتا، ثم يليهم رجل من مضر من الشرق، يكفر الناس، ويخرجهم من دينهم، يقاتل أهل اليمن قتالا شديدا فيما بين النهرين فيهزمه الله ومن معه»

Al-Mahdi dies a death, then the people will follow him after him, a man from his family in whom there is good and evil, and his evil is greater than his good. He angers the people, calls them to disunity after the group, his survival is short, a man from his family revolts against him and kills him, and the people after him fight intensely, and the one who killed him after him remains for a short time, then he dies a death, then a man from Mudar from the east follows them, he makes the people infidels, and expels them from their religion, the people of Yemen fight fiercely in Mesopotamia. Allah will defeat him and those with him

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #1135 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 : Yemen.
