English translation

4083. It was narrated from Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri that the Prophet ﷺ said: "The Mahdi will be among my nation. If he lives for a short period, it will be seven, and if he lives for a long period, it will be nine, during which my nation will enjoy a time of ease such as it has never enjoyed. The land will bring forth its yield and will not hold back anything, and wealth at that time will be piled up. A man will stand up and say: 'O Mahdi, give me!' He will say: 'Take.'" (Da'if)

4083 - حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْجَهْضَمِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَرْوَانَ الْعُقَيْلِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عُمَارَةُ بْنُ أَبِي حَفْصَةَ، عَنْ زَيْدٍ الْعَمِّيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي صِدِّيقٍ النَّاجِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: " يَكُونُ فِي أُمَّتِي الْمَهْدِيُّ إِنْ قُصِرَ فَسَبْعٌ، وَإِلَّا فَتِسْعٌ، فَتَنْعَمُ فِيهِ أُمَّتِي نِعْمَةً، لَمْ يَنْعَمُوا مِثْلَهَا قَطُّ، تُؤْتَى أُكُلَهَا وَلَا تَدَّخِرُ مِنْهُمْ شَيْئًا، وَالْمَالُ يَوْمَئِذٍ كُدُوسٌ، فَيَقُومُ الرَّجُلُ، فَيَقُولُ: يَا مَهْدِيُّ أَعْطِنِي، فَيَقُولُ خُذْ "

Commentary

a. The Mahdi will be a pious man from the descendants of Fâtimah ﷺ. His name will be Muhammad, as the name of the Prophet ﷺ, and his father's name will be as the name of the Prophet's father. During his seven year's rule people will live in peace, safety and prosperity. (See fâmi' Al-Tirmidhi: 2231, Sunan Abu Dâwud: 4282). b. Many people claimed to be the Mahdi in the past, which was not correct. Therefore, some contemporary people denied the concept of coming of the Mahdi. It is not proper to deny a truth in order to reject a falsehood.
