It is also narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id Khudri, may Allah be pleased with him, who says: We feared that after the Noble Prophet, various incidents would occur in the world, so we asked the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, about this, and he, peace and blessings be upon him, said: In my Ummah, a person, Mahdi, will appear for five, or seven, or nine. The narrator Zaid was in doubt, so I asked: What is meant by this number? He said: Years. Then he, peace and blessings be upon him, said: The sky will pour down torrential rains upon the people, and the earth will not withhold anything of its crops within itself, and there will be heaps of wealth and riches. A man will come to him and say: O Mahdi! Give me, give me, so he will put as much as the man is able to carry into his garment.
