حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ زَيْدًا الْعَمِّيَّ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا الصِّدِّيقِ النَّاجِيَّ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ خَشِينَا أَنْ يَكُونَ، بَعْدَ نَبِيِّنَا حَدَثٌ فَسَأَلْنَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ ‏

"‏ إِنَّ فِي أُمَّتِي الْمَهْدِيَّ يَخْرُجُ يَعِيشُ خَمْسًا أَوْ سَبْعًا أَوْ تِسْعًا ‏"‏ ‏.‏ زَيْدٌ الشَّاكُّ ‏.‏ قَالَ قُلْنَا وَمَا ذَاكَ قَالَ ‏"‏ سِنِينَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ فَيَجِيءُ إِلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ فَيَقُولُ يَا مَهْدِيُّ أَعْطِنِي أَعْطِنِي ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ ‏"‏ فَيَحْثِي لَهُ فِي ثَوْبِهِ مَا اسْتَطَاعَ أَنْ يَحْمِلَهُ ‏"

Zaid bin Al-'Ammi said:

"I heard Abu As-Siddiq An-Naji narrate a Hadith from Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri who said: 'We feared events to occur after our Prophet, so we asked Allah's Prophet(s.a.w), and he said: "Indeed there will be a Mahdi who comes in my Ummah (ruling) living for five, or seven, or nine."- Zaid was the one in doubt- He said: "We said: What is that?" He said: "Years." He said: "A man will come to him and say: O Mahdi! 'Give to me, give to me! So he will fill in his garment whatever he is able to carry.'"

Reported by At-Tirmidhi (No. 2232) and Ahmad (No. 10737).

قَوْلُهُ : ( سَمِعْت أَبَا الصِّدِّيقِ ) بِتَشْدِيدِ الدَّالِ الْمَكْسُورَةِ ( النَّاجِيَّ ) بِالنُّونِ وَالْجِيمِ بَصْرِيٌّ ثِقَةٌ مِنْ الثَّالِثَةِ. قَوْلُهُ : ( خَشِينَا أَنْ يَكُونَ بَعْدَ نَبِيِّنَا حَدَثٌ ) بِفَتْحِ الْحَاءِ وَالدَّالِ الْمُهْمَلَتَيْنِ. قَالَ فِي النِّهَايَةِ الْحَدَثُ الْأَمْرُ الْحَادِثُ الْمُنْكَرُ الَّذِي لَيْسَ بِمُعْتَادٍ وَلَا مَعْرُوفٍ فِي السُّنَّةِ اِنْتَهَى. ( يَعِيشُ خَمْسًا أَوْ سَبْعًا أَوْ تِسْعًا زَيْدٌ الشَّاكُّ ) أَيْ الشَّكُّ مِنْ زَيْدٍ وَفِي رِوَايَةٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ عَنْ أَبِي دَاوُدَ : " وَيَمْلِكُ سَبْعَ سِنِينَ مِنْ غَيْرِ شَكٍّ " , وَكَذَلِكَ فِي حَدِيثِ أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ عِنْدَهُ بِلَفْظِ : " فَيَلْبَثُ سَبْعَ سِنِينَ مِنْ غَيْرِ شَكٍّ " , ف…

He reported the Prophet as saying in the course of the story about the Mahdi that a man will come to him and say, "Give me, give me, Mahdi," and he will pour into His garment as much as he is able to carry. Tirmidhi transmitted it.

" فَيَجِيءُ إِلَيْهِ الرَّجُلُ فَيَقُولُ: يَا مَهْدِيُّ أَعْطِنِي أَعْطِنِي. قَالَ: فَيَحْثِي لَهُ فِي ثَوْبِهِ مَا اسْتَطَاعَ أَنْ يَحْمِلَهُ "
