Hadhrat Abdullah bin Mas'ood(RA) reports from the Prophet(SAW), who said:
|
The world will not come to pass until a man from among my family, whose name will be my name, rules over the Arabs. |
The Prophet( SAW) said:
|
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. |
Hadhrat Ali(RA) narrates that Rasulullah(SAW) said:
|
Even if only a day remains for Qiyamah to come, yet Allah will surely send a man from my family who will fill this world with such justice and fairness, just as it initially was filled with oppression. |
Ali b. Abi Talib(RA) has related a tradition from the Prophet(SAW) who informed him:
|
The promised Mahdi will be among my family. God will make the provisions for his emergence within a single night. |
Hazrat Umme Salmah(RA), Prophet's wife, narrates that she heard the Prophet(SAW) say:
|
The promised Mahdi will be among my progeny, among the descendants of Fatima. |
Rasulullah(SAW) announced:
|
The Mahdi will be of my family, of the descendants of Fatima (the Prophet's daughter). (Sunan Ibn Majah, Vol. 2, Tradition No. 4086) |
The Prophet(SAW) taught:
|
Al-Mahdi is one of us, the members of the household (Ahlul-Bayt). |
Abu Sa'id al-Khudari(RA) narrated that the Prophet(SAW) said:
|
Our Mahdi will have a broad forehead and a pointed (prominent) nose. He will fill the earth with justice as it is filled with injustice and tyranny. He will rule for seven years. |
Hadhrat Abu Saeed Khudri(RA) relates that Rasulullah(SAW) said:
|
Al Mahdi will be from my progeny. His forehead will be broad and his nose will be high. He will fill the world with justice and fairness at a time when the world will be filled with oppression. He will rule for seven years. |
Hadhrat Umme Salmah(RA) narrates that Rasulullah(SAW) said:
|
After the death of a Ruler there will be some dispute between the people. At that time a citizen of Madina will flee (from Madina) and go to Makkah. While in Makkah, certain people will approach him between Hajrul Aswad and Maqaame Ibraheem, and forcefully pledge their allegiance to him. Thereafter a huge army will proceed from Syria to attack him but when they will be at Baida, which is between Makkah and Madina, they will be swallowed into the ground. On seeing this, the Abdaals of Shaam as well as large numbers of people from Iraq will come to him and pledge their allegiance to him. Then a person from the Quraish, whose uncle will be from the Bani Kalb tribe will send an army to attack him, only to be overpowered, by the will of Allah. This (defeated) army will be that of the Bani Kalb. Unfortunate indeed is he who does not receive a share from the booty of the Kalb. This person (Imam Mahdi) will distribute the spoils of war after the battle. He will lead the people according to the Sunnat and during his reign Islam will spread throughout the world. He will remain till seven years (since his emergence). He will pass away and the Muslims will perform his Janazah salaat. |
The holy Prophet(SAW) said:
|
A group of my Ummah will fight for the truth until near the day of judgment when Jesus, the son of Marry, will descend, and the leader of them will ask him to lead the prayer, but Jesus declines, saying: "No, Verily, among you Allah has made leaders for others and He has bestowed his bounty upon them. |
It is reported from Abu Hurayra(RA) that the Prophet(SAW) said:
|
What will be your reaction when the son of Mary (Jesus) descends and your Imam is from among yourselves? |
The holy Prophet(SAW) said:
|
What would be your situation if the Son of Mary (i.e. Jesus) descends upon you and your Imam is from among you? |
|
|
|
The following narrations have been taken from books on which there is no consensus among Muslim scholars. Their authenticity is in question:
The holy Prophet(SAW) said:
|
The world will not come to an end until a man from my family (ahl al-bayt), who will be called al-Mahdi, emerges to rule upon my community. |
Umme Salmah(RA), the wife of the Prophet, has related a tradition of the Prophet(SAW):
|
Mahdi will be among my progeny, among the children of Fatima. |
Rasullullah(SAW) said:
|
The world will not come to an end until a man from the descendants of Hussain takes charge of the affairs of the world and fills it with justice and equity as it is filled with injustice and tyranny. |
Abu Sa'id al-Khudari(RA) has related a tradition from the Prophet(SAW) who declared:
|
The earth will be filled with injustice and corruption. At that time, a man from among my progeny will rise and will rule for seven or nine years and will fill the earth with justice and equity. |
Abu al-Hujaf(RA) quotes the Prophet(SAW) saying three times:
|
Listen to the good news about the Mahdi! He will rise at the time when people will be faced with severe conflict and the earth will be hit by a violent quake. He will fill the earth with justice and equity as it is filled with injustice and tyranny. He will fill the hearts of his followers with devotion and will spread justice everywhere. |
Ali b. Abi Talib(RA) said, I asked the Prophet(SAW):
|
"Is Mahdi going to be among our own family or from some other?" He replied: "He will be among us. God will conclude His religion through him, just as He began it with us. It will be through us that people will find refuge from sedition, just as it was through us that they were saved from polytheism. Moreover, it will be through us that God will bring their hearts together in brotherhood following the animosity sown by the sedition, just as they were brought together in brotherhood in their religion after the animosity sown by polytheism." |
I heard the Prophet(SAW) declare from the pulpit:
|
The Mahdi from among my descendants, from my family, will rise at the End of Time, while the heavens will pour rain and the earth will bring forth green grass for him. He will fill the earth with justice and equity as it is filled with tyranny and injustice. |
Abu Sa'id al-Khudari(RA) narrated that Prophet(SAW) said:
|
Severe calamity from the direction of their ruler will befall my people during the Last Days. It will be a calamity which, in severity, shall be unprecedented. It will be so violent that the earth with injustice and corruption will shrivel for its inhabitants. The believers will not find refuge from oppression. At that time God will send a man from my family to fill the earth with justice and equity just as it is filled with injustice and tyranny. The dwellers of the heavens and the earth will be pleased with him. The earth will bring forth all that grows for him, and the heavens will pour down rains in abundance. He will live among the people for seven or nine years. From all the good that God will bestow on the inhabitants of the earth, the dead will wish to come to life again. |
Abu Hurayra(RA) narrated on behalf of the Prophet(SAW):
|
People will pay allegiance to the Mahdi between rukn and maqam (in Mekkah). |
شعله زاری ازگريه های بی قرار بر نگاهمان می رويد
تا در مقدمه انتظار ، آرزوی آمدنت را با فانوس مژگان تزيين کنم !
ای تمام آرزو ؛ مثل آرزوی باران در خشکسالی بدون عدالت !
ای تمام اميد مثل اميد رهايی از تنگناهای نا باورانه ی جهل!
ای تمام انتظار رسيدن به خط پايان، به خط پيروزي،
به لحظه های آغازين سپيده ؛ سپيده ای که رستاخيز عدالت را همراه خواهد داشت!
مولا جان !
تويی که دست دعا هر کس، گرفته سوی تماشايت
شبيه آينه می خواهد تو را ،هميشه تماشايی!
تويی که می شکنی آخر ، سکوت سرد شبستان را
و رنگ عاطفه می گيرد ، حضور آن ((يد بيضايی))
مولا جان !
کجاست بهار آمدنت ، تا جاده های سبز تماشا را به تماشا بنشينم!
تو را قسم به دست های خالی سرشار از قنوت!
تو راقسم به چشم های بارانی لبريز از انتظار!
تو را قسم به مويه های غريبانه ی ندبه !
بيا ، تا طعم تلخ رنج ها ،با ديدن تو شيرين شوند !
بيا ، تا از تمام لغت نامه ها ، واژه انتظار را خط بزنيم !
بيا ، تا از دست هايت بهار ، از نگاهت زندگی و از حضور ت عدالت بچينیم!
درياب چشم هايی را که از(( فلسطين )) تا ((کشمير )) به خاطر عدالت ، به جاده های انتظار خيره مانده اند
درياب دست های تاول زده ای را که از ((سودان )) تا(( آلبانی ))، به خاطر لقمه ای نان به کام آتش ميروند!
درياب جهانی را که از ((ايسلند)) تا ((دماغه اميد)) در انتظار عدالت می سوزد
و مستکبران ابر جنايت احساساتش را به بازی می گيرند!
درياب شانه های خسته ای را که در طول تاريخ ، زخم های بی شماری را تحمل کرده اند!
تو همان بهار جاودانه ای ..
تو همان عدالت ماندگاری .
تو همان جانشين لايق خداوندی که ((زمين)) در انتظارظهورت ، روز شماری می کند !
درود خدا وند بر تو باد، در هر حالی که هستی و در هر حالی که خواهی بود !
تو را می ستايم تو را که وارث عشق در زمينی و کاينات بر وجود تابناکت
هر سحر گاه سلام می کند
و من قنوت می گیرم
اللهم عجل لولیک الفرج
