`Verily Allah shall make a person to appear from my progeny. His front teeth is spaced a little and his forehead sparkling with light.`<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

The author of «Es`aaf-ur-Raghebeen» too has narrated the same tradition of the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.A.) from Abu Na`eem.<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the afore-mentioned book, Ibn-Hajar narrates (on page 98) from Ruyani and Tabarani and they two from the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.A.) as saying: `Mahdi is from my progeny. His face is like a twinkling star; his colour `Arabi` and his figure like the figure of Isra`eel. (speaking allusively of his wheatish complexion, tall height and stoutness<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

The same tradition can be seen in «Es`aaf-ur-Rhagebeen» (page 149).<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Author of «Es`aaf-ur-Raghebeen» on page 140 narrates from «Huliat-ul-Aulia» of Abu Na`eem Esfahani as such:- `It is said that Mahdi is a youth with black eyes, extended eye-brows, protracted nose, curly beard and a spot on his right cheek and right hand.`<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Author of «Nurul-Absar» narrates on page 229 from Abu Dawoud and Tirmidhi and they two from Abu Sa`eed who said:- `I have heard that the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.A.) used to say: Mahdi is from me, having a sparkling forehead and protracted nose.<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the afore-said book, the author on page 230 narrates from Ibn-Shirwiya and he, from Huzaifa – ibn – Yaman and he, from the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.A.) who said: `Mahdi is my son. His colour is the colour of `Arabi` (wheatish complexion) and his figure is like the figure of Isra`eel.(48)<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Author of «Eqdud-Durar» narrates in the third Chapter from Ali (A.S.) who, while describing the disposition of Mahdi said:-<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

`He is a man with sparkling forehead, protracted nose and broad thighs. There exists a spot on his right cheek and there are gaps between his teeth.(49)<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

In the same chapter of the afore-said book, the author narrates from Abu Jafar Muhammad-ibn-Ali Baqer (A.S.) who said:-<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

`Amir-ul-Mumineen Ali-ibn-Abi Talib was asked about Mahdi`s physical appearance and he replied: He is a youth with an average stature and a handsome face with hairs falling over his shoulders and light gleaming from his face.(50)<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n


\nMAHDI AND HIS CHARACTER<\/strong><\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Ibn-Hajar in `Sawa`eq» (page 98) has narrated from Rauyani and Tabarani and they too from the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.A.) as such: `Mahdi is from my progeny`. Thereafter he said: `The inhabitants of the heavens and the inhabitants of the earth are happy with his reign.(51) Tabarani adds: and the birds of the sky.<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

The same tradition can be found in «Es`aaf-ur-Raghebeen on page 149.(53)<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Author of «Es`aaf-ur-Raghebeen» on page 151 has narrated from Ahmad and Mawardi that the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.A.) said:- `Glad tidings be to you about Mahdi`. Thereafter he said:- `The inhabitants of the heavens and the inhabitants of the earth are happy with him. He shall distribute the wealth equally, free Muhammad`s `Ummah` from need or want and comfort them with his righteousness.`<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

The author of «Eqdud-durar», in the eighth chapter of his book narrates from Ta`oos as such: `The sign of Mahdi is that he shall be harsh with rulers, generous with the people in distributing wealth and gentle with the helpless in caressing them.` Thereafter he writes: `This tradition has been taken from Abu Abdulla Na`eem-ibn-Hemad from the book of `Fatan.`(54) In the third chapter and the ninth section of the afore-mentioned book, the author narrates from the book of «Fatan» of Hafez Abu Abdullah Na`eem-ibn Hemad who narrates from Abu Rumiyah as follows: `Mahdi shall feed the helpless.`<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Author of «Nur-ul-Absar» narrates (on page 230) from «Musnad» of Imam Ahmad who narrates from Saeed Khudri who said:- `Messenger of Allah (S.A.W.A.) said:- `I give you glad-tidings about Mahdi.`<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Thereafter he said:- `The inhabitants of the heavens and the inhabitants of the earth are happy with him. He shall distribute wealth equally amongst the people and will fill the hearts of Muhammad`s `Ummah` with needlessness (a metaphoric remark of making the people wealthy). He shall comfort them with his righteousness.(55)<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

Furthermore, in the afore-mentioned book the author on the same page, narrates once again from «Fatan» from Huzaifa-ibn-Yamaan that the Holy Prophet (S.A.W.A.) said:-<\/div>\n

 <\/p>\n

`Mahdi is my son.` Thereafter he said: `The inhabitants of the heavens, the inhabitants of the earth and the birds of the sky are happy with his reign.`<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
