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

حدثنا عبد الله بن مروان، عن سعيد بن يزيد التنوخي، عن الزهري، قال: " يموت المهدي موتا، ثم يصير الناس بعده في فتنة، ويقبل إليهم رجل من بني مخزوم فيبايع له، فيمكث زمانا، ثم يمنع الرزق فلا يجد من يغير عليه، ثم يمنع العطاء فلا يجد أحدا يغير عليه، وهو ينزل بيت المقدس، فيكون هو وأصحابه مثل العجاجيل المربية، وتمشي نساؤهم ببطيطات الذهب، وثياب لا تواريهن، فلا يجد من يغير عليه، فيأمر بإخراج أهل اليمن: قضاعة، ومذحج، وهمدان، وحمير، والأزد ، وغسان، وجميع من يقال له من اليمن، فيخرجهم حتى ينزلوا شعاب فلسطين، فيرجع إليهم جديس، ولخم، وجذام، والناس عصبا من تلك الجبال بالطعام والشراب، ليكون لهم مغوثة كما كان يوسف مغوثة لإخوته، إذ نادى مناد من السماء، ليس بإنس ولا جان: بايعوا فلانا ولا ترجعوا على أعقابكم بعد الهجرة، فينظرون فلا يعرفون الرجل، ثم ينادي ثلاثا، ثم يبايع المنصور، فيبعث عشرة أوفد إلى المخزومي، فيقتل تسعة ويدع واحدا، ثم يبعث خمسة فيقتل أربعة ويسرح واحدا، ثم يبعث ثلاثة، فيقتل اثنين ويدع واحدا، فيسير إليه فينصره الله عليه، فيقتله الله ومن معه، ولا ينفلت إلا الشريد، ولا يدع قرشيا إلا قتله، فيلتمس إذ ذاك قرشي فلا يوجد، كما يلتمس اليوم رجل من جرهم فلا يوجد، فكذلك تقتل قريش فلا يوجدوا بعدها "

Al-Mahdi will die, then the people will fall into strife after him, and a man from Banu Makhzum will come to them and pledge allegiance to him. He will stay for a while, then withhold provision and will not find anyone to change it. Then he will withhold giving and will not find anyone to change it. He descends on Jerusalem, and he and his companions will be like rearing calves, and their women will walk with golden ducks, with clothes that cannot cover them, and he will not find anyone to change it. So he orders the expulsion of the people of Yemen: Qada’ah and Madhhij. And Hamdan, and Himyar, and Azd, and Ghassan, and all who are called from Yemen, and he takes them out until they come down to the mountains of Palestine, and then Jadis, Lakhm, Leprosy, and the people come back to them in droves from those mountains with food and drink, so that they may be relieved just as Joseph was a relief to his brothers, when a caller called from the sky, neither human nor jinn: Pledge allegiance to so-and-so and do not return on your heels after the migration, and they look but do not recognize the man. Then he calls out three times, then he calls out three times. Al-Mansur pledges allegiance, so he sends ten deputies to Al-Makhzoumi, who kills nine and leaves one, then he sends five, kills four and releases one, then he sends three, kills two and leaves one, so he marches to him, and Allah gives him victory over him, so Allah kills him and those with him, and only the fugitive escapes, and does not leave a Quraysh without killing him. Then he seeks a Quraysh but is not found, just as a man from Jurhum seeks today and is not found, so you kill the Quraysh and they are not found after that.

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #1136 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 : Baitul Maqdis (Jerusalem), Yemen.
