Various traditions about his (atfs) reappearance

Narrated Umm Salamah, Ummul Mu'minin:

The Prophet (s.a.w.a.) said: Disagreement will occur at the death of a caliph and a man of the people of Medina will come flying forth to Mecca. Some of the people of Mecca will come to him, bring him out against his will and swear allegiance to him between the Corner and the Maqam. An expeditionary force will then be sent against him from Syria but will be swallowed up in the desert between Mecca and Medina. When the people see that, the eminent saints of Syria and the best people of Iraq will come to him and swear allegiance to him between the Corner and the Maqam.

Then there will arise a man of Quraysh whose maternal uncles belong to Kalb and send against them an expeditionary force which will be overcome by them, and that is the expedition of Kalb. Disappointed will be the one who does not receive the booty of Kalb. He will divide the property, and will govern the people by the Sunnah of their Prophet (s.a.w.a.) and establish Islam on Earth. He will remain seven years, then die, and the Muslims will pray over him.

Abu Dawud said: Some transmitted from Hisham "nine years" and some "seven years".

The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by Qatadah through a different chain of narrators. This version has "nine years".

Abu Dawud said: The other narrators mentioned "nine years" from Hisham except Mu'adh.

The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by Umm Salamah from the Prophet (s.a.w.a.) through a different chain of narrators. The tradition of Mu'adh is more perfect.

It will be said to him, 'If you refuse, we will strike your neck,' and he will be given allegiance by a number resembling the companions at Badr. Those in the heavens and those on earth will be pleased with them." Abu Yusuf said: Muhammad ibn Abdullah narrated to me from Amr ibn Shu'aib, from his father, from Abdullah ibn Amr (may Allah be pleased with him and his father), who said: "People will perform Hajj together and recognize each other together without a leader. While they are descending in Mina, they will be taken by something like a dog, and tribes will rise against each other and fight until the slope is drenched in blood. They will then rush to their best, who will be facing the Ka'bah, his face pressed against it, weeping. It will be as if I can see his tears, and he will accept allegiance under duress. If you catch up to him, pledge allegiance to him, for he is the Mahdi on earth and the Mahdi in heaven."

Allah will revive through the Mahdi, Muhammad ibn Abdullah, the traditions that had been neglected, and He will ease, through his justice and blessings, the hearts of the believers. Groups from among the non-Arabs and tribes from among the Arabs will be united with him, and he will remain in this manner for several years, not many, less than ten, then he will die.

Al-Suyuti - al-Durr al-Manthur fi al-Tafsir bil-Ma'thur - Surah Muhammad (47): (16 > 20)
Volume: (7) - Page Number: (483)
[The text is lengthy, so only the relevant excerpt is provided here]
- .... Ahmad narrated from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) said, "I give you good news of the Mahdi, whom Allah will send in my Ummah during a time of اختلاف (division) and زلازل (earthquakes). He will fill the earth with justice and fairness as it has been filled with injustice and oppression." Both the inhabitants of the heavens and the inhabitants of the earth will be pleased with him. He will divide the earth in prosperity. A man said to him, "What is meant by prosperity?" He replied, "Equality among the people." He will fill the hearts of the Ummah of Muhammad with wealth, and his justice will accommodate them until he commands a caller to announce, saying, 'Whoever has a need in their wealth may come forward.' Then no one from the Muslims will stand up except for one man who will say, 'Go to the steward,' meaning the guardian, 'and tell him that the Mahdi orders you to give me some money.' He will say, 'Gather,' and when he places it in his lap and presents it, he will regret it and say, 'I was the most miserly of the Ummah of Muhammad, even though what I could not manage was within their means.' He will then return, but it will not be accepted from him, and it will be said to him, 'We do not take anything we have given.'" It will be like this for seven years, or eight years, or nine years, and then there will be no good in life afterward." He said, "Then there will be no good in living after him."
- .... Ahmad, al-Tirmidhi, who deemed it good, and Ibn Majah narrated from Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) from the Prophet (peace be upon him and his holy progeny) who said, "The Mahdi will emerge in my Ummah after five or seven." Abu al-Jouri was uncertain and said, "What did he mean?" We said, "Years." Then the sky will send down rain upon them in abundance, and the earth will not withhold any of its vegetation. Wealth will be like a pile, and a man will come to him and say, 'O Mahdi, give me, give me,' and he will sprinkle what he can carry into his cloak."

- .... Ibn Abi Shaybah narrated from Mujahid, who said: A man from the companions of the Prophet (peace be upon him) informed me that the Mahdi will not emerge until the Pure Soul (al-Nafs al-Zakiyyah) is killed. When the Pure Soul is killed, those in the heavens and those on the earth will be angry with them, and people will come to the Mahdi, bringing him joy as one brings joy to a bridegroom on the night of his wedding, and he will fill the earth with fairness and justice, the earth will bring forth its vegetation, the heavens will rain, and my community will experience in his governance a blessing they have never experienced before.

31 - And His saying, the Exalted: {Allah has promised those among you who believe and do righteous deeds that He will surely make them successors (khalifain) upon the earth, as He made successors (khalifa) from among those who were before them, and He will surely establish for them their religion which He has preferred for them, and He will surely replace them after their fear with security, wherein they will worship Me, not associating anything with Me. And whoever denies the truth after that, those are the defiantly disobedient} (Surah An-Nur 24:55) from Ishaq ibn Abdullah from Imam Zayn al-Abidin (peace be upon him), who said: This verse was revealed about the al-Qa'im al-Mahdi (peace be upon him).
- And he also said: His statement, the Exalted: {So, by the Lord of the heavens and the earth, it is certainly true, just as your tongues speak} (Surah Adh-Dhariyat 51:23), means that the rising of our Qa'im is true just like you are speaking.
