The prosperity of my Ummah will be at such a high...

The prosperity of my Ummah will be at such a high, the likes of which not experienced by it in the past. Rain will pour down from the sky (as needed), the earth will grow as much crop as possible and there will be no shortage of wealth. A person will stand and say: O Mahdī! Give me something.

Mahdī will say him: take it yourself (from the treasury according to your desires).” عن أبي سعيد الخدري رضي الله عنه، أن النبي صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم قال: يكون في أمتي المهدي، إن قصر فسبع وإلا فتسع، فتنعم فيه أمتي نعمة لم ينعموا مثلها قط، تؤتى أكلها ولا تدخر منهم شيئا، والمال يومئذ كدوس، فيقوم الرجل، فيقول: يا مهدي! أعطني. فيقول: خذ.

“Abū Sa‘īd Khudrī (RA) has related that the Messenger of Allāh*(Peace Be Upon Him and His Household)* said: There will be Mahdī in my Ummah who will be the caliph for at least seven years, otherwise for nine years. My Ummah will be so prosperous in his period that it would not have experienced such prosperity before it. The earth will grow every form of crop and hold back nothing. During this period goods will be in such a high quantity as a heap of grain on the threshing floor.

Someone will stand up and say: O Mahdī! Give me something. He will say: Take (as much you like).” عن أبي سعيد الخدري رضي الله عنه، قال: خشينا أن يكون بعد نبينا حدث، فسألنا نبي الله صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم، فقال: إن في أمتي المهدي يخرج يعيش خمسا أو سبعا أو تسعا*-* زيد الشاك*-* قال: قلنا: وما ذاك؟ قال: سنين. قال: فيجيء إليه رجل، فيقول: يا مهدي! أعطني، أعطني. قال: فيحثي له في ثوبه ما استطاع أن يحمله.

“Abū Sa‘īd Khudrī (RA) narrates: We asked the Prophet*(Peace Be Upon Him and His Household)* about happenings after him. We asked him: What will happen after you? He said: There will be Mahdī in my Ummah who will rule for five, or seven or nine, (the narrator is doubtful about the correct period). I asked: what is meant by this figure? He said: (this figure means) years. He said: (his period will be a period of blessing and prosperity.) A person will come over to him and ask him: O Mahdī!

Give me something, give me something.
