2230. 'Abdullāh narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "The world shall not pass away until a man from the people of my family rules the Arabs whose name agrees with my name." (Hasan) [Abū 'Eisā said:] There are narrations on this topic from 'Ali, Abū Sa'eed, Umm Salamah, and Abū Hurairah. This Hadīth is Hasan Sahih.
٢٢٣٠ - حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ بْنُ أَسْبَاطِ بْنِ مُحَمَّدٍ الْقُرَشِيُّ الْكُوفِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ الثَّوْرِيُّ، عَنْ عَاصِمِ بْنِ بَهْدَلَةَ ، عَنْ زِرٍّ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «لَا تَذْهَبُ الدُّنْيَا حَتَّى يَمْلِكَ الْعَرَبَ» رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ بَيْتِي يُوَاطِئُ اسْمُهُ اسْمِي. وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ، وَأَبِي سَعِيدٍ، وَأُمِّ سَلَمَةَ، وَأَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ. وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

Concerning the version of the Hadīth contained in Sunan Abū Dāwūd the Prophet ﷺ is reported to have said: "He will be my namesake and his father's name will agree with my father's name, i.e. his name will be Muḥammad bin 'Abdullāh". Therefore, the Shiīte claim, that the Mahdī will be the Promised Imām as defined by them, could not be true since the name of their Hidden Imām, whose re-appearance they are waiting for, is Muḥammad bin Ḥasan 'Askari (and not Muḥammad bin 'Abdullāh).
