Even if Basheer ibn Naheek spoke about him, and Abu Hatim said about him, “He is not used in adducing a proof,” yet the two Shaykhs adduced proofs by him, and people regarded him as being trustworthy, and they didn’t turn to the statement of Abu Hatim that proof could not be adduced by him, except that Raja’ ibn Abi Raja’ al-Yashkuri said about him, “And there is disagreement about him.” Abu Zar’ah said, “Trustworthy.”Yahya ibn Mu’in said, “Weak.” Abu Dawud said, “Weak,” and he said one time, “Right-acting.” Al-Bukhari attached to him in his Sahih one hadith.”, “Abu Bakr al-Bazzar published in his Musnad, and at-Tabarani in his al-Mu’jam al-Kabir and al-Awsat from Qurrah ibn Iyas, that he said, “The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, ‘The earth will definitely be filled with tyranny and injustice, then when it is full of tyranny and injustice, Allah will send a man from my Ummah whose name is my name and whose father’s name is my father’s name.

He will remain among you seven, or eight or nine,’ meaning years.”. He will be such a tyrant that he will kill the children and rip out the bellies of women. “Abu Dawud also published from Umm Salamah, radiya’llahu ‘anha, that she said, “I heard…” and in Al-Mustadrak by way of ‘Ali ibn Nufayl from Sa’eed ibn al-Musayyab from Umm Salamah that she said, “I heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, saying, ‘The Mahdi is one of the descendants of Fatimah’.” The wording of al-Hakim is, “I heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, mentioning the Mahdi and then he said, ‘Yes, he is real, and he is one of the descendants of Fatimah’. He will fill it with justice and equity, just as it was filled with tyranny and injustice. in the narration of Abu al-Wasil ibn ‘Abd al-Hamid ibn Wasil from Abu as-Sadeeq an-Naji from al-Hasan ibn Yazid as-Sa’di one of Bani Bahdalah from Abu Sa’id al-Khudri that he said.

Al-Hakim said, “Ath-Thawri, Shu’bah, Za’idah, and other Imams of the Muslims narrated it from ‘Asim.”, “He said, “The paths of ‘Asim from Zirr from ‘Abdullah are all sound according to what? The affair will be in the form of the khilafah and justice for forty or seventy, then conditions will change, and it will become a kingdom.” This is the end of what Ibn Abi Wasil said.”- Ibn Khaldun, “He said in another place, “The descent of ‘Isa will be at the time of Salat al-‘Asr of the Muhammadan Day when three-quarters of it has passed.” He said, “Al-Kindi Ya’qoub ibn Ishaq mentioned in the book al-Jafr in which he mentioned astrological conjunctions that when the Qur’an reaches Taurus at the beginning of“da ha” with the two letters, ‘dad’ with the diacritical point and the ‘ha’ without a diacritical point, meaning 698 after the Hijrah, the Messiah will descend and will rule over the earth as long as Allah ta’ala wills.” He said, “And it has been narrated in the hadith that ‘Isa will descend at the white minaret to the east of Damascus.”- Ibn Khaldun. In fact, there is no authentic chain of narration going back to the Blessed Messenger (saw) on the subject of ‘Mahdi‘ that is not disputed or challenged.

Makkah. There are others who are awaiting the return of authority to the People of the House seeking an indication of that in those hadith on the Mahdi we have mentioned already and others.”– Ibn Khaldun, “Then there also occurred among later Sufis some talk about unveiling and what lies behind the sensory realm. 5, P. 207; also narrated by Ali ibn Abu Talib, Abu Sa’id, Umm Salma, Abu Hurayra), “Allah will bring out from concealment al-Mahdi from my family and just before the day of Judgment; even if only one day were to remain in the life of the world, and he will spread on this earth justice and equity and will eradicate tyranny and oppression.”, – Prophet Muhammad (Musnad Ahmad Ibn Hanbal, Vol. Whoever among them authenticates that which is weak, weakens that which is authentic, establishes the authenticity of that which is rejected, or rejects that which is established-all with evidence, interpretation, or what resembles proof-then he has traversed the path of the scholars in research and investigation. In a hadith in Abu Dawud, it is stated that Hazrat Mahdi will rule seven years 44 and in a hadith in Ibn Majah that he will rule seven years if he lives short, otherwise nine years. Their number will be as the number of the people of Badr the first ones will not outrace them and the last ones will not reach them and as the number of Talut’s companions who crossed the river with him.’” Abu at-Tufail said, “Ibn al-Hanafiyyah said, ‘Do you want it?’ I said, ‘Yes.’ He said, ‘He will come out from between these two rugged mountains.’ I said, ‘By Allah, I will not leave it until I die.’” And he died in it, i.e. Prophet Mohammad (SM) said of him the following: “The world will not come to an end until the Arabs are ruled by a man from my family whose name is the same as mine and whose fathers name is the same as my father’s name.”.

They also began to speak about the Qutb and the books of the Isma’iliyyah from among the Rafidah, and the books of the later Sufis are full of the like of this about the awaited Fatimi.” — Ibn Khaldun, “Some of them have dictated it to others and some have been instructed in it by others, and it is as if it is built on feeble foundations by both parties. http://www.khalidzaheer.com/qa/352 They said, since the affair of Khilafah belongs to Quraysh by a Sharia’h judgement which is unanimously agreed upon with a unanimity which is not weakened by the denial of one who did not apply himself to its study, then it is necessary that the Imamate should belong to a group which is more select to the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, than Quraysh, either outwardly such as Bani Abd al-Muttalib or inwardly from among whoever was of the reality of the Family, and the Family is whoever, when he is present he does not give a title to whoever is his family.”– Ibn Khaldun, “Ibn al-Arabi al-Hatimi named him, in his book,‘Unqa al-Maghrib from among his authorship, the Seal of the Awliya, and nicknamed him the Brick of Silver indicating the hadith of al-Bukhari in the chapter of the “Seal of the Prophets”. The subject of the emergence of Imām al-Mahdi has now assumed truly urgent importance in the world of Islam ̶ Shia as well as Sunni.

(Sunan ibn Majah, Hadith: 4039) 3. Shaikh Ahmad Muhammad Shakir (d. 1377/1958), one of the greatest contemporary scholar of Hadith and Tafsir, whose major work was his commentary on Musnad Ahmad Ibn Hanbal (for a biography of Ahmad Shakir, see al-Aalam, v1, p253; Mu’jam al-Mu’allifeen, v13, p368) wrote in his commentary: "Belief in al-Mahdi is not particular to the Shi’a … and he is the Imam who will appear from the direction of the Maghrib.” – Ibn Khaldun, He said, if his birth is as Ibn al-Arabi claimed 683AH, then his age at his uprising would be twenty-six years.

Al-Hakim narrated it in al-Mustadrak and said, “A sahih isnad and the two of them (al-Bukhari and Muslim) did not narrate it.” In his narration of it, there is, “Then later the Hashimi will appear and Allah will return people to their union.” Ibn Luhay’ah is not in this isnad, and it is a sahih isnad as he mentioned.”.

Is this the madhhab of ‘Abdullah?‘”Al-‘Aqeeli narrated this hadith among the weak, and adh-Dhahabi said, “It is not sahih.”, “Ibn Majah narrated from ‘Ali, may Allah be pleased with him, by the narration of Yasin al-‘Ijli from Ibrahim ibn Muhammad al-Hanafiyyah from his father from his grandfather (‘Ali) that he said, “The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, ‘The Mahdi is from us, the people of the house.
