Yasaar reports that he heard from Yasham and Maria that when the child (Imam Mahdi ATF) was born he got up and sat down; recited kalma e shahadatain; sneezed and recited Al Hamdo Lillahi Rabbil Aalameen.
It is reported from Nasar – servant – that two or three days after the birth of (Imam Mahdi ATF) I went to the court of Imam (ATF). I saw him lying in the cradle. I said him (ATF) salam. He said: “Nasar! Bring red sandal for me”. When I brought red sandal he said to me: “do you recognize me?” I said, “why not? You are our lord and the son of lord”. He said: “you have not recognized me. I am the seal of testamentary executors (awsiya), and Allah The Sublime will remove all calamities from my family and my friends because of me”.
“Ulama say that Allah The Sublime bestowed Imam Qa’im Muntazir (ATF) with wisdom and Faslul Khitab, and made him (ATF) a sign for the worlds as Allah says, “O Yahya (John) take the Book with power and We granted Yahya (John) the prophet hood in childhood”. And Allah says (about Christ AS) “How we speak to a child who is in cradle”. And Allah The Sublime has prolonged his life as He prolonged of (Hazrat) Khizar’s (AS) and (Hazrat) Ilyas’ (AS). Some Arifeen i.e. Sheikh Mohiuddin Al Arabi wrote in the discussion of Imam Al Mahdi (ATF) that when he will appear there will be 360 Kamilul Iman men with him who will take oath of imam (ATF) allegiance in between Rukan and Muqam. And the most blessed people will be the people of Kufa and he will distribute the wealth with justice. He will do justice in the people and decide disputes with haq, and will appear on the finishing of religion. He who will refuse his imamate will be killed and he who will fight against him will be disgraced. He will show the true religion. If Holy prophet (SAWW) was there he would give same decision as Imam (Mahdi ATF) will give. And those fuqaha who would be followed will be his (ATF) enemies but will come under Imam due to fear of his sword and his grace as well as greed of worldly riches. And those kamileen arifeen who are aware of the realities of things because of Kashf and Shahood, will take oath of his (ATF) allegiance due to Divine granted Ma’arifat. Imam (ATF) will have some special men who will be his helper and will maintain Dawat ilal Haq. Same men will be Imam (ATF) ministers who will have taken the responsibility of government. Imam Al Muntazar is (Hazrat) Mahdi (ATF) Aal-e-Muhammad (SAWW). His generosity will be on the pattern of heavy rain. He will be the true caliph of Allah. He will understand the language of animals. His justice will proceed in Jin and Ins both.” (Yanabi ul Mawaddah, Pg: 325, reference: Faslul Khitab)
“Wa howa Baaq ila an yajtamay bay Isa ibnay Maryam (AS) fayakoon umrohu ila waqtena haza sab’a me’ah wa salas saneen – He (Imam Mahdi ATF) is present thus he (ATF) will gather with (Hazrat) Christ (AS), the son of Maryam (AS). His age in our period (958 hijri) is 703 years.”
(Tarikhul Ahmadi, Pg: 368, taken from Shaykh Abdul Wahab Ash-Shu’arafi in his book Al Yawaqeet wal Jawahir)
Ali Bin Abdullah reports from Abdur Rahman bin Abi Abdillah and he reports from Abi Jarood that (Hazrat) Imam Muhammad Baqir (AS) said the rule of Qa’im e Aal e Muhammad (ATF) will be on entire earth and his rule will be for 309 years – the period Ashab e Kahaf remained in sleep, and will conquer the whole earth with his sword, and no faith will remain in existence except the faith of (Hazrat) Muhammad (SAWW).
40 Ahadith of Ulma e Ahle Sunnah
Hafiz Abu Naem and Ahmed bin Abdullah who are from great scholars of Ahle Sunnah, their collected forty ahadith about (Hazrat) Mahdi Hadi (ATF) which are in books Fasoolul Mohimmah and Kashful Ghummah etc. I have taken these 40 from the book Anwar e Imamat writer Faqih e Mohaqiq e Rabbani Danishmand e Bozurg Ahmed bin Muhammad known as Moqaddas Ardbeli (q.s.).
First Hadith
Abu saeed khudri has reported from Holy Prophet Hazrat Muhammad (saww) that He said Mahdi (ATF) will be from my ummah and he will rule for seven, eight or nine years even if a short period would remain. In His period evil will be nowhere; rains will be at time and there will be abundance of grain.
2nd Hadith
With the authority of above mentioned (Abu Saeed Khudri) Holy Prophet (saww) said that the world will be filled with oppression and tyranny and then a person from my progeny will appear and will fill the earth with justice and equity and will rule on the earth for 1 year or 9 years.
3rd Hadith
With the authority of above mentioned (Abu Saeed Khudri (R.A)) the leader of the two worlds (SAWW) said the day of judgment would not take place until a man from my progeny will fill the earth, which will have been filled with oppression and tyranny, with justice and equity. The period of His rule (will be) 7 years.
4th Hadith
Zohri reported from (Hazrat) Ali yibnil Hussain (Imam Zain ul Abideen (AS)) that the Prophet of Allah (SAWW) said to Hazrat Fatima (SA) Mahdi (ATF) would be your son (Al Mahdi min woldik).
5th Hadith
Ali Bin Hilal has reported from his father that I was in the court of the prophet of Allah (SAWW) at the time of his passing away (from this world). I saw that the daughter of the prophet of Allah (SAWW), (Hazrat) Fatimah (SA), sitting at the head of the bed of her father was weeping loudly. The prophet of Allah (SAWW), raising his head said O’ my beloved daughter why are you weeping? (Hazrat) Fatimah (SA) said I am weeping over my destruction after you that people will forget you and will carry out oppression on me. The prophet of Allah (SAWW) said O’ Fatimah (SA) don’t you know that Allah The Sublime cast a look on earth first time and chose your father (SAWW) for prophet hood. Then cast a look and chose your husband (ALI A.S.) and revealed that I marry him (ALI A.S.) with you. O’ Fatimah (SA) we are Ahle Bayt (AS). Allah has granted us those qualities, which have not been granted to anyone before us nor would be after us i.e.
First quality is that I was made The Seal of Prophet hood. I am the best of all Creatures and your father.
Second quality is that my wasi (testamentary executor) is the best of Awsiya (testamentary executors), friend of the creator and creatures and he is your husband (ALI A.S.)
Third quality is that our martyr is from amongst the best martyrs and he is (hazrat) Hamza Bin Abdul Muttalib (AS) who is the paternal uncle of your father (SAWW) and your husband (AS). (hazrat Hamza bin Abdul Muttalib (AS) was martyred in the battle of Ohad and Hindda the wife of Abu sufyan, mother of Moawia and grand mother of Yazeed (May the curse of Allah be upon them ).
Fourth quality is that he (Hazrat Jafar e Tayyar who kissed martyrdom in the battle of Mota) is from us to whom Allah has given two wings through which he is busy in flying with angels (In Heavens). He is the son of my paternal uncle (Hazrat Abu Talib (AS)) and the brother of your husband (Ali AS). (Ali (AS) had three brothers: Talib (AS), Jafar (AS) and Aqeel (AS). Hazrat Imam Hussain (AS) sent Aqeel’s son Hazrat Muslim (AS) as his envoy to Kufa and he kissed the martyrdom there and his shrine attached with Masjid e Kufa is resort of all. In the same shrine Hazrat Mukhtar Bin Abi Ubaidah saqafi (RA) is buried).
Fifth quality is the two grandsons who both your sons (Hassan (AS) and Hussain (AS)) are The Lord of The Youth of Paradise------- O’ Fatimah O’ the sight of my eyes! By that God who sent me as a prophet that (hazrat) Mahdi (ATF) of this ummah will be from these two (Hassan (AS) and Hussain (AS)) when the world will be filled with fitnaas; one will be looting to other; elder will not show mercy upon younger; younger will not respect elder. At that time Allah will send him (Mahdi (ATF)) who will demolish the palace of zalalah and will firm the law of hidayah in the last period as I (Muhammad (SAWW)) did in the last period by arriving. O’ Fatimah (SA) don’t be grieved that Allah The Great is most compassionate and most merciful upon me and you because of that nearness which you have with me. And O’ Fatimah (SA) Allah has married you with (the one) who is mightiest in pedigree, most merciful upon people, wisest in Ahkam e Din (Holy Prophet (SAWW) said Ana Darul Hikmah wa Aliyun Baboha), and the most just in decisions (Holy Prophet (SAWW) said Aqzakum Aliyibne Abi Talib (AS)). And O’ Fatimah (SA) the sight of father’s eyes I have requested from my Allah that you be the first from amongst all who join me from my Ahle Bayt (AS). Therefore (hazrat) Fatimah (SA) went to the lap of her father (SAWW) after the 75 days of prophet (SAWW) death.
6th Hadith
(Hazrat) Huzaifah (RA) himself reported that one day the Prophet of Allah (SAWW) said while throwing light on future in front of us that if there would be one day remaining of this world Allah will make it longest and will appear my one son who will have the same name of mine. Listening this Hazrat salman farsi (RA, He was that companion of Holy Prophet (SAWW) about whom He (SAWW) said Salman minna Ahlalbayt (AS)) said after standing up O Prophet of Allah (SAWW) who will be your that son. The Prophet of Allah (SAWW) said “Min waladi haza” and put His hand on the shoulder of Imam Hussain (AS).
7th Hadith
(Hazrat) Huzaifah (RA) reported from (Hazrat) Ibne Umer (RA, Ibne Umer accepted Islam in his childhood with Hazrat Umer bin Khattab (RA) in Mecca. His mother was Zainab binte mazoon and he refused to take the oath of allegiance to Hazrat Ali (AS). Likewise it is written in Beharul Anwaar, Volume 44, which summary is that Ibne Umer requested Imam Hussain (AS) at his time of departure from Medina to compromise mislead people. Imam (AS) said O Abu abdur Rehman have fear of Allah and do not avoid to assist me – Page 7 Tazkera e Mukhtar (RA) written by Syeda Bintul Huda, publisher Mukhtar Students Organization (MSO) Pakistan) that Prophet of Allah (SAWW) said that (Hazrat) Mahdi (ATF) will appear from a town. The name of the town will be “Kar’a”.
8th Hadith
It is reported from (Hazrat) Huzaifah (RA) that Prophet of Allah (SAWW) said (Hazrat) Mahdi Ma’ood (ATF) will be from my sons (when the infidels of Quraish were used to say Holy Prophet (SAWW) “Abtar” then Allah Almighty revealed Surah Kauser: Inna Ataina Kal Kauser we have granted you Progeny with abundance, and then Holy Prophet’s (SAWW) Progeny grew from Hazrat Fatimah Tuz Zahra (SA). Hazrat Imam Hassan (AS) and Hazrat Imam Hussain (AS) were Holy Prophet’s (SAWW) grand sons but are called His sons according to Ayah e Mubahilah “Faqul Ta’alo Abna’ana wa Abna’akom…”) whose bright and luminous face will be illuminated like a star.

He died in 74 AH and is buried in Medinah) that Prophet of Allah (SAWW) said that (Hazrat) Mahdi (ATF) will be from my progeny, and His forehead will be bright and nose will be sharp and graceful.
11th Hadith
It is reported from (Hazrat) Abu saeed Khudri (RA) that Prophet of Allah (SAWW) said in praise of (Hazrat) Mahdi (ATF) that (Hazrat) Mahdi Maood (ATF) will be from my Ahlebayt (AS, The Quranic verse of Chapter Al Ahzaab “Innama yureedullaho leyuzheba ankomurijsa Ahlalbayti wa yutahhirakum tatheera” – verily Allah wishes to keep away the impurities from you Ahlalbayt (AS) and keep you purified as is the right of purification. All ulema are agreed upon this, no one from shia sunni are against this that Ahlebayt e Rasool (SAWW) are Hazrat Ali (AS), Hazrat Fatimah Tuz Zahra (SA), Hazrat Imam Hassan (AS) and Hazrat Imam Hussain (AS), but some non-shia scholars also include azwaj (RA) ur Rasool (SAWW) in Ahlulbayt (AS). But azwaj (RA) ur Rasool (SAWW) are not included in Ahlulbayt (AS) and around 30 ahadith from different authorities which are reported by different ulma e ahle sunnah i.e. Ahmed bin Hambal, Ibne Mardawiyah, Sa’albi and suyooti etc stand witness on this. Molana Farman Ali (late) have gathered all these in his booklet “Al Munazira” which summary is that Holy Prophet (SAWW) came to the house of Hazrat Umme Salma (RA) and gave seat near Him to Hazrat Ali (AS), Hazrat Fatimah Tuz Zahra (SA), Hazrat Imam Hassan (AS) and Hazrat Imam Hussain (AS) after calling them and then covered all including himself with a mantle and prayed: O’ Allah these are my Ahlebayt (AS) and keep away impurities from them and keep them purified. Hearing this Hazrat Umme Salma (RA) tried to enter under the mantle but stopped and it was said that you are not in Ahlebayt (AS) but in Azwaj (RA). At the same time the above-mentioned verse revealed. Since then for long Holy Prophet (SAWW) comes to the home of Hazrat Ali (AS) at every prayer time and says holding the door sill of the house “Assalam o Alaikum Ya Ahlalbayt (AS) – [Tafseer Durre Mansoor, Mulla Jalal uddin suyooti, volume 5, page 198, 199]) and His nose will be graceful, sharp and beautiful. He will fill the face of earth with justice and equity when it will be filled with oppression and tyranny.
12th Hadith
It is reported from (Hazrat) Abu Imamah Bahili that I heard from the Prophet of Allah (SAWW) that there will be four wars and four truce between you and people of Rome and fourth will be through a man from the people of Halqala. A man, who was from the tribe Abd Qais whose name was Mastoor bin Abd Ghailan, from audience stood up and asked Holy Prophet (SAWW): “O’ the Prophet of Allah (SAWW) who will be the Imam of people in that era?” Prophet (SAWW) replied: “The Imam of creatures will be (Hazrat) Mahdi (ATF) from my sons. He will rule for forty years, and his illuminated face will be brighter than a star, and there will be a mole on his right side, and He will be hidden in a village near Kufa. He will have resemblance to Bani Israel. In His era the earth will spit out treasures and countries of kufr o shirk will be conquered.”

It will make jehad but no one will accept Haq then Allah will send a man from my Ahl (AS) to whom it will assign this task. He will fill the earth, which will be filled with oppression, with justice.

And O Huzaifa if only one day remains of this world Allah will long it so that make an owner and ruler a man from my Ahlebayt (AS) who will kill headstrong so to spread Islam and remove infidelity.

(Hazrat) Esa (AS) will say that Allah has granted this honour to this ummah and will offer prayer after him (Hazrat Mahdi ATF).
40th hadith
(Hazrat) Muhammad Bin Ibrahim (RA) has reported from (Hazrart) Abu Jafar Mansoor Dawanqi (RA) and he from his grandfather (Hazrat) Abdullah Bin Abbas (RA) that I was in the court of the Prophet of Allah (SAWW) when he (SAWW) said those people among whom will be first (Hazrat) Esa bin Maryam (AS) last and (Hazrat) Mahdi (ATF) will be in middle (Wast), will not be ruined.
The author of Kashful Ghummah has explained what he wrote about the appearance of Hazrat Mahdi (ATF) saying that what he wrote especially about Imam Mahdi (ATF) in the book all is in course with Sunnat wal Jama’at so that condition be fulfilled.
It is reported from Hazrat Abu Hurairah (RA) in Kashful Ghummah and Fasoolul Mohimmah that I heard from the Prophet of Allah (SAWW) addressing his companions that when (Hazrat) Mahdi (ATF) will appear and (Hazrat) Esa bin Maryam (AS) will descend from the heavens, (at that time) to whom you or your progeny should follow? (Hazrat) Esa (AS) who is a prophet (AS) or Imam (Mahdi ATF) who is the successor of your prophet (SAWW). Some have made addition in it with these words: your Imam (Mahdi ATF) who is Imam from among you according to your Book (Holy Quran). After reporting this hadith it is written that its Muttafaq alaih. Bokhari and Muslim both have mentioned this in their Saheeh. Due to this hadith, hadith-e-Jabir and hadith-e-Khudri Hazrat Mahdi (ATF) should be Imam and Hazrat Esa (AS) Mamoom.
That hadith which Ibne Majah Qazvini has reported in his book from Abu Imamah Bahili that this hadith is absolutely correct, is the hadith which strengthens all these ahadith. The last part of the hadith is that “at dawn Hazrat Imam Mahdi (ATF) will intend to offer prayer in Baytul Moqaddas and at the same time (Hazrat) Esa bin Maryam (AS) will descend from the heavens. Imam (ATF) will say to Hazrat Esa (AS) to lead prayer. Hazrat Esa (AS), putting his hand on Imam (ATF)’s shoulder will say you are better and best than me, and will offer prayer after Imam (ATF).
Further, it is reported from Shafi Mutallabi that this khabar is motawatar and many narrators have narrated from the prophet of Allah (SAWW) saying that when (Hazrat) Mahdi (ATF) from my Ahle Bayt (AS) will appear then he will rule the earth for seven years. He will fill the earth with justice and equity.
(Hazrat) Esa bin Maryam (AS) will descend and will participate in the murder of Dajjal and (Hazrat) Mahdi (ATF) will be the Imam of this Ummah. Hazrat Esa (AS) will offer prayer after him.
