The Mahdi, ruling over Arabs? Filling the world with Justice?

First Hadith

Abdullah narrated that the Messenger of Allah(s.a.w) said:

“The world shall not pass away until a man from the people of my family rules the Arabs whose name agrees with my name.”

Ad dahabi He is reliable in his recitation of Quran. But not in traditions he is a truthful person who commits error in judgement.

He has been considered a truthful person but his memory was weak

محمد بن سعد كاتب الواقدي : ثقة، إلا أنه كان كثير الخطأ في حديثه

Muhammad bin saad the writer of a waqidi says he is trustworthy but he commits error in hadiths

يحيى بن سعيد القطان : ما وجدت رجلا اسمه عاصم إلا ووجدته رديء الحفظ

Yahya al-Qattan said: “I have never found a man named ‘Asim who did not have a bad memory.
إسماعيل بن علية : تكلم فيه، وقال: كان سيء الحفظ، وكأن كل من كان اسمه عاصم سيء الحفظ

Ibn ‘Ulayyah: discussed ‘Asim and said: “Everyone named ‘Asim has a bad memory.

الدارقطني : في حفظه شيء

Ad-Daraqutni said: “There was something the matter with his memory.

أحمد بن حنبل : كان رجلا صالحا، قارئا للقرآن، وأهل الكوفة يختارون قراءته، وأنا أختارها، وكان خيرا ثقة، والأعمش أحفظ منه

Ahmad b. Hanbal said about ‘Asim that he was a pious man, a reader of the Qur’an, and a good and reliable person, but that al-A’mash had a better memory than he. Shu’bah used to prefer al-A’mash to him for establishing (the soundness of) traditions.

أبو داود السجستاني : سئل عن عاصم وعمرو بن مرة فقال: عمرو فوقه

Abu Dawood Al-Sijistani: He was asked about Asim and Amr bin Murra, and he said: Amr is above him.

يحيى بن معين : ثقة لا بأس به، وفي رواية: ليس بالقوي في الحديث

Yahya bin Ma’in: He is trustworthy and there is nothing wrong with him, and in a narration: He is not strong in hadith.

عاصم بن أبي النجود بهدلة قال الميموني: قال أحمد: وعاصم بن بهدلة، ثقة، وذكره بقرآن وصلاح وفضل وصالح الحديث، والأعمش عند الكوفيين أكبر منه. وكان شعبة يختار الأعمش على عاصم بن أبي النجود. Ahmad b. Hanbal said about ‘Asim that he was a pious man, a reader of the Qur’an, and a good and reliable person, but that al-A’mash had a better memory than he according to kufis. . Shu’bah used to prefer al-A’mash to him for establishing traditions.

Second Hadith

Narrated Abdullah ibn Mas’ud:

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: If only one day of this world remained. Allah would lengthen that day (according to the version of Za’idah), till He raised up in it a man who belongs to me or to my family whose father’s name is the same as my father’s, who will fill the earth with equity and justice as it has been filled with oppression and tyranny (according to the version of Fitr). Sufyan’s version says: The world will not pass away before the Arabs are ruled by a man of my family whose name will be the same as mine.

Abu Dawud said: The version of ‘Umar and Abu Bakr is the same as that of Sufyan.

Hadith is considered Hassan sahih by albani which is completely wrong cuz there were faulty narrators and shi’tes as well.

There is a narrator in Hadith عمرو بن عبيد his narrations are matrook and Hadith scholars of past has said do not take from him he was a liar.

For example :

أبو بكر البيهقي : متروك، ومرة: لا نحتج به

Abu Bakr al-Bayhaqi: abandoned, and once: we do not use it as evidence

أبو حاتم الرازي : متروك الحديث

Abu Hatim Al-Razi: The hadith is abandoned

أبو حاتم بن حبان البستي : يشتم الصحابة، ويكذب في الحديث وهما لا تعمدا والكلام فيه والطعن عليه كثير جدا

Abu Hatim bin Habban Al-Basti: He insults the Companions, and lies in hadith, and they are not intentional.

أبو دواد السجستاني : ضعفه

Abu Dawad al-Sijistani: his weakness

أحمد بن حنبل : ليس بأهل أن يحدث عنه

Ahmad bin Hanbal: He is not qualified to narrate from him

أحمد بن شعيب النسائي : ليس بثقة ولا يكتب حديثه، ومرة: متروك الحديث

Ahmad bin Shuaib al-Nasa’i: He is not trustworthy and his hadith is not written, and once: The hadith is abandoned.

أيوب بن أبي تميمة السختياني : كذاب

Ayoub bin Abi Tamimah Al-Sakhtiani: A liar

ابن حجر العسقلاني : المعتزلي المشهور كان داعية إلى بدعته اتهمه جماعة مع أنه كان عابدا

Ibn Hajar Al-Asqalani: The well-known Mu’tazilite was a caller to his heresy. A group accused him of it even though he was a worshiper

حماد بن سلمة البصري : رأيت كأن الناس يصلون يوم الجمعة إلى القبلة وهو مدبر عنها، فعلمت أنه على بدعة فتركت الرواية عنه

Hammad bin Salamah Al-Basri: I saw that on Friday people were praying towards the qiblah while he was turning away from it.

سعيد بن عامر الضبعي : كان من الكاذبين الآثمين

Saeed bin Amer Al-Dabai: He was one of the sinful liars

سفيان بن عيينة : مبتدع

Sufyan bin Uyaynah: an innovator

شعبة بن الحجاج : حدث عنه بحديثين ثم تركه

Shubah bin Al-Hajjaj: He narrated two hadiths from him, then left it

عاصم بن سليمان الأحول : مبتدع

Asim bin Suleiman Al-Ahwal: An innovator

عبد الله بن عون البصري : كان يكذب على الحسن

Amr bin Ali Al Falas: Matrouk al-hadith, the owner of innovation

قريش بن أنس الأنصاري : كف تراب خير منه

Quraish bin Anas Al-Ansari: A handful of dust is better than it

محمد بن سعد كاتب الواقدي : معتزلي ليس بشيء في الحديث

Muhammad bin Saad, the writer of al-Waqidi: Mu’tazilites are nothing in the hadith

محمد بن عبد الله المخرمي : كان داعيا إلى بدعته

Muhammad bin Abdullah Al-Makhrami: He was a caller to his heresy

مصنفوا تحرير تقريب التهذيب : متروك الحديث، بإجماع الجمهور من أهل الجرح والتعديل

The compilers of Tahrir Taqreeb Al-Tahdheeb: Matrouk Al-Hadith, by the consensus of the majority of the people of Al-Jarh and Al- Ta’deel

مطر بن طهمان الوراق : يلقاني فيحلف لي على الحديث فأعلم أنه كاذب، ومرة: والله ما أصدقه في شيء

Matar bin Tahman Al-Warraq: He meets me and swears to me about the hadith, so I know that he is a liar, and once: By God, I do not believe him in anything

يحيى بن سعيد القطان : تركه

Yahya bin Saeed Al-Qattan: He left him

يحيى بن معين : ليس بشيء، ومرة: لا تكتب حديثه، ومرة: كان داعيا إلى بدعته

Yahya bin Moin: He is nothing, and once: Do not write his hadith, and once: He was a caller to his heresy

يعقوب بن سفيان الفسوي : كذبه

Yaqoub bin Sufyan Al-Fasawi: A lie

يونس بن عبد الأعلى : كان يكذب في الحديث

Yunus bin Abdul-Ala: He used to lie in hadith.

He was also a shia.

Some scholars consider him thiqah and truthfull and along with that they said narrations are arguable

أحمد بن حنبل : صاحب تخليط، وعاب عليه غلوه في التشيع مع تقشفه وعبادته

Ahmed bin Hanbal: a confusing person, and blamed him for his exaggeration in Shiism with his austerity and worship

Then there is one more narrator who was a truthfull person but not consider reliable in his narrations asim bin abi nujud

Third Hadith

Narrated AbuSa’id al-Khudri:

The Prophet (ﷺ) said: The Mahdi will be of my stock, and will have a broad forehead a prominent nose. He will fill the earth will equity and justice as it was filled with oppression and tyranny, and he will rule for seven years.
