Appearance of Mahdi - from
The Sayings of Prophet Muhammed s.a.w.
Abu
Dawoud in his 'Sahih' on Page 87, Vol. 4 narrated from Abdulla a
tradition from the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.A.) as follows: 'If there
remains not more than a day from the life of the earth, God Almighty
will set the day so long until He appoints a person from my
progeny.'
Thereafter
he says - Similarly it has come in Hadith Sufyan that the Holy
Prophet has said: 'The life of this world shall not end until an
Arab from my progeny will rule over the world.'(8)
The
same book on the afore-said page and volume mentions a tradition
from Ali (A.S.) who narrates from the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.A.) as
follows: 'If there remains not more than a day from the life of the
earth, surely God shall appoint a person from my progeny.'
Tirmidhi
in Vol. 2 of his 'Sahih' on Page 270 narrates a tradition from
Abdullah who narrates from the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.A.) that he said:
'The life of this world shall not cease to exist until an Arab from
my progeny shall come and rule.'
Tirmidhi
says: This tradition is (acceptable) and (correct) and the same has
also been narrated from Ali, Abu Sa'eed, Umm-Salma and Abu Huraira.
Also,
in the afore-said book on the same page of the same volume, a
tradition has been narrated by Abu Huraira from the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.A.)
as follows:
'If
there remains not more than a day from the life of the earth, God
Almighty will set the day so long until a person from my progeny
shall come and rule.' Then he says: This 'hadith' is (acceptable)
and (correct). (9)
Ibn-Hajar
in his Sawa'eq; on Page 97 says: Abu Ahmad, Abu Dawoud, Tirmidhi and
Ibn Maaja have narrated from the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.A.) as saying:
If
there remains not more than a day from the life of the earth, surely
God shall appoint on that day a person from my progeny;
Es'aaf-ur-Raghebeen too has narrated the same on Page No. 147(10)
Ibn
Hajr in the afore-mentioned book on Page 97 writes: Abu Dawoud and
Tirmidhi narrate from the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.A.) as such: -
"If
there remains not more than a day from the life of the earth, surely
God will set that day so long until He makes a person appear from my
progeny."
Esa'af-ur-Raghebben
too has narrated the same on Page 148.
Ibn
Hajr, in the afore-mentioned book on Page 97 says: Abu Dawoud and
Tirmidhi have narrated from the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.A.) as such:
'The life of this world shall not cease to exist until a person from
my progeny shall come and rule.'
Es'aaf-ur-Raghebben
too has narrated the same on Page 148.
Ibn
Hajar in Sawa'eq; (Page 97) writes: Abu Dawoud and Tirmidhi have
narrated from the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.A.) as such:
'If
there remains not more than a day from the life of the earth, God
will set the day so long, until He appoints a person from my
progeny.' Es'aaf-ur-Raghebeen too has narrated the same on Page 148.
(11)
In
'Nur-ul-Absar' Page 229 a tradition has been narrated from Ali (A.S.)
who narrates from the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.A.) as such:
'If
there remains not more than a day from the life of the earth, surely
God will make a person from my progeny to appear' (on that day).
Then
the author continues: 'This hadith has also been narrated by Abu
Dawoud in his 'Sunan'.
In
the same book on Page 231, it is narrated from Abu Huraira who
narrates from the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.A.) that:
"Qiyamat
shall not be established until a person from my progeny comes and
rules". (11)
On
Page 151 of Es'aaf-ur-Raghebben it is mentioned that Ahmad and
Mawardi have narrated from the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.A.) who said: -
Glad-tidings
to you (all) about Mahdi; The same has come in 'Nur-ul-Absar' Pg.
151.
Author
of 'Nur-ul-Absar' writes on Page 230 as such: Ahmad narrates from
Abu Sa'eed Khudri that the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.A.) has said: 'I give
you glad-tidings about Mahdi.'
In
Yanabi-ul-Mawadda; (Page 432) it is narrated from Qetaada who said:
"'I asked Sa'eed-ibn-Maseeb: "Is there any truth in
Mahdi?" He replied, 'Yes, he is the truth and he is from the
progeny of Fatemah.'"(13)
In
the same book, on the afore-said page it is narrated from Ali (A.S.)
who has narrated from the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.A.) that: 'If there
remains not more than a day from the life of the earth, indeed God
shall make a person from my progeny to appear.'
Thereafter
he writes: 'This hadith has also been narrated by Abu Dawoud, Ahmad,
Tirmidhi and Ibn-Maaja.'
Also,
in the same book on Page 432, a tradition is narrated from 'Musnad'
of Ahmad who has narrated from the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.A.) as such:
-
'Qiyamat
shall not be established until the earth is filled with cruelty and
oppression. Then a person from my progeny shall appear and fill it
with equity and Justice. (14)
Again,
in the afore-mentioned book On Page 440 he writes: Mufeq-ibn-Ahmad
Akhtab narrates a sermon of Khawarazm who takes reference from
Abdur-Rahman-ibn-Abi Laili who narrates from his father who said: -
'In the battle of Khaibar, the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.A.) handed over
the banner to Ali (A.S.). Then Allah ordained victory by his hands.
Later, at Ghadir-e-Khum he reminded the people that Ali was the 'Maula'
(Master) of all believing men and women and continued until he
expressed few sentences about the virtues of Ali, Fatemah, Hassan
and Hussein. Thereafter he said:
"Gabriel
has informed me that after my departure they shall be subject to
injustice and, oppression and this oppression shall continue until a
movement is brought about by their Qa'em; and at that time their
creed will be raised high, people shall turn towards their
friendship, ill-speaking towards them shall diminish, those having
unpleasantness for them shall be degraded and those eulogizing them
shall increase. Such kind of events will occur when cities shall
collide with each other and people become weak and helpless of
respite. At that time shall appear the Qa'em; (Mahdi) from my
progeny and God will manifest the truth through him and extinguish
the falsehood by his sword. Thereafter he said: 'O people,
glad-tidings to you of relief and respite. Surely the promise of
Allah is true, He never breaks it, and His decree never gets
refuted. He is All Aware and All seeing and the victory of Allah is
near. (15)
In
the same book on Page 447 he narrates from the book of
Fara'ed-us-Semtain; from Shaikh Abu Ishaaq Ibrahim-ibn-Yaqub who
narrates from Jabir-ibn-Abdulla Ansari that the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.A.)
has said: The one who denies the emergence of Mahdi has surely
disbelief to whatever God has revealed upon Muhammad and the one who
denies the coming of Isa (Jesus) has surely become a disbeliever and
the one who denies the revolt of Dajjal has surely become a
disbeliever.;(16)
