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

حدثنا ابن وهب، حدثنا ابن لهيعة، عن الحارث بن يزيد، قال: سمعت عتبة بن راشد الصدفي، قال: سمعت عبد الله بن الحجاج، ونحن ننتظر عبد الله بن عمرو يخرج علينا، قال: سمعت الآن عبد الله بن عمرو، يقول: «يكون بعد الجبارين الجابر، يجبر الله به أمة محمد صلى الله عليه وسلم، ثم المهدي، ثم المنصور، ثم السلام، ثم أمير العصب، فمن قدر على الموت بعد ذلك فليمت»

After the tyrants, there will be the Jaber, through whom Allah will force the nation of Muhammad, ﷺ, then the Mahdi, then Al-Mansour, then peace, then the prince of the people, so whoever is able to die after that, let him die.

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #270 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.
