2232. Zaid bin Al-'Ammī said: "I heard Abū Aṣ-Ṣiddīq An-Nājī
narrate a Hadith from Abū Sa'eed Al-Khudrī who said: 'We feared events to occur after our Prophet, so we asked Allāh's Prophet ﷺ, and he said: "Indeed there will be a Mahdī who comes in my Ummah (ruling) living for five, or seven, or nine." – Zaid was the one in doubt – He said: "We said: What is that?" He said: "Years." He said: "A man will come to him and say: O Mahdī! 'Give to me, give to me! So he will fill in his garment whatever he is able to carry.'"
(Da'if)
[Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadith is Hasan, it has been reported through other routes from Abū Sa'eed from the Prophet ﷺ. Abū Aṣ-Ṣiddīq An-Nājī's name is Bakr bin 'Amr, and it is also said that it is Bakr bin Qais.

Commentary
As per other narrations, the Mahdī's stay in the world will last seven years. Wealth in that age will be bountiful, and so he will give it to the people with an open hand.
