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

حدثنا أبو يوسف، عن فطر بن خليفة، عن حنش بن عبد الرحمن العكلي، عن أبي هريرة، رضي الله عنه قال: «تكون بالمدينة وقعة تغرق فيها أحجار الزيت، ما الحرة عندها إلا كضربة سوط، فينتحي عن المدينة قدر بريدين، ثم يبايع إلى المهدي»

There will be an area in the city in which the oil stones will sink, and the heat there will be nothing but the stroke of a whip. So he will withdraw from the city for the amount of two days, then pledge allegiance to the Mahdi.

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #932 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 : Madinah.
