Our Prophet (saas) says: Abu Sa’id relates: HAZRAT MAHDI (AS) WILL BE SUCH A GENEROUS PERSON THAT HE WILL GRANT THOSE WHO BEG, “BESTOW ME THIS, BESTOW ME THAT” AS MUCH AS THEY CAN CARRY WITH THEIR GARMENTS. (Tirmidhi, (Jalaluddin as-Suyuti, Kıyamet alametleri, Olum ve Dirilis [Portents of the Judgment Day, Death and Resurrection],p. 171)
Hazrat Mahdi (as) will emerge from my community. ALMIGHTY ALLAH WILL SEND HIM [HAZRAT MAHDI (AS)] TO ENRICH PEOPLE. My community will be blessed in that time, animals will live in plenty and the earth will give forth many goods, HAZRAT MAHDI (AS) WILL JUSTLY DISTRIBUTE MANY, MANY GOODS AMONG PEOPLE.(Ibn Hajar al-Haythami, Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi `Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntadhar, p. 23)
WHEN HAZRAT MAHDI (AS) COMES HE WILL DISTRIBUTE MANY GOODS… (Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir az-Zaman, p. 15)
HAZRAT MAHDI (AS) WILL APPEAR from among my community, ALLAH WILL SEND HIM TO ENRICH PEOPLE. The community will be blessed, animals will eat and drink in plenty, the earth will give forth many fruits, AND GOODS WILL BE GIVEN OUT EQUALLY (within the frame of social justice). (Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir az-Zaman, p. 15)
HE [HAZRAT MAHDI (AS)]will come at a time when corruption appears AND HIS BENEFICIENCE WILL BE COMPLIMENTARY. (Ibn Hajar al-Haythami, Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi `Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntadhar, p. 23)
THE HEARTS OF THE COMMUNITY OF MUHAMMAD WILL BE FILLED WITH WEALTH.(Ibn Hajar al-Haythami, Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi `Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntadhar, p. 20)
The people of the earth and skies will be pleased with him [Hazrat Mahdi (as)]. AND HE [HAZRAT MAHDI (AS)] WILL SHARE OUT THE GOOD…AND HE WILL FILL THE HEARTS OF THE COMMUNITY OF MUHAMMAD (SAAS) WITH WEALTH AND HIS JUSTICE WILL COMPLETELY ENFOLD THEM. (Ahmad Diya ad-Din al-Kamushkhanawi, Ramuz al-Ahadith, Vol. 1, p. 7, No. 77; Ibn Hajar al-Haythami, Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi `Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntadhar, p. 13)
Abd al-Khayr: I heard the commander of the faithful Ali ibn Abi Talib say: “The Messenger of Allah (saas) said to me:
… [HAZRAT MAHDI (AS)] will appear when the earth is filled with cruelty and oppression and will fill it with justice and equality. MOST OF THE TIME ONE WILL COME NEAR HIM [HAZRAT MAHDI (AS)] AND THERE WILL BE PLENTY OF GOODS WITH HIM AND THAT PERSON WILL SAY: O MAHDI! BESTOW ME THIS GOOD. HE WILL SAY: I WILL GIVE YOU BLESSING AS MUCH AS YOU LIKE.(Sheikh Muhammad ibn Ibrahim Numani, al-Ghaybah al-Numani, pp. 97-98)
Imam Hussein relates:
“Ask after one another’s health and provide for one another benevolently. I swear to Allah Who splits the seed and greens it, and creates living beings, that SUCH A TIME WILL COME UPON WHEN NO ONE WILL FIND ANY PLACE TO SPEND A DINAR OR A DIRHAM.” (That is to say, upon Hazrat Mahdi’s (as) appearance, due to Allah’s and His saint’s [Hazrat Mahdi’s (as)] abundant blessings, no one will find any place to spend his money.) (Iqdud Durar, p. 236)
At the coming of Hazrat Mahdi (as) ... EVERYONE WILL FREELY TAKE WHAT THEY WANT FROM OTHERS’ POCKET.(Sheikh al-Mufid, Al-Ikhtisas, p. 24)
In the time of Hazrat Mahdi (as), BELIEVERS WILL MAKE NO PROFIT IN THEIR DEALINGS WITH ONE ANOTHER.
(Shaykh Hurr al-Amili, Wasail-ush-Shia, Trade chapters)
During his [Hazrat Mahdi’s (as)] time, both the community’s good and wicked people WILL BE BLESSED WITH A BLESSING, THE LIKE OF WHICH THEY HAVE NEVER SEEN BEFORE. Despite the abundance of rain, not a drop will go to waste. The land will grow fruitful and fertile, without demanding a single seed... (Ibn Hajar al-Haythami, Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi `Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntadhar, p. 20-21)
