Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Imam Al Mahdi, The Twelfth Khalifah In The Sahih Sunni Ahadith Birth Of A Little Paradise ============================= It is impossible to completely eradicate oppression and injustice from the face of the earth. There will always be some people who are oppressing and unjustly treating others till the Day of al-Qiyamah .
However, incidences of oppression, aggression and injustice can be reduced to the barest minimum, to the extent they are hardly heard of anywhere on the globe. This is what Imam al-Mahdi, ‘alaihi al-salam , will achieve, with Allah’s Help, through his worldwide revolution. This is also what the ahadith say: that just as cases of equity and justice are existent but unusual today, incidences of oppression, aggression and injustice will also occur at his time, though very rarely. Imam Abu Dawud (d.
275 H) records: حدثنا سهل بن تمام بن بزيع ثنا عمران القطان عن قتادة عن أبي نضرة عن أبي سعيد الخدري قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم " المهدي مني أجلى الجبهة أقنى الأنف يملأ الأرض قسطا وعدلا كما ملئت جورا وظلما ويملك سبع سنين " Sahl b. Tammam b. Buzay’ – ‘Imran al-Qaṭṭan – Qatadah – Abu Nadhrah – Abu Sa’id al-Khudri: The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said: “ The Mahdi is from me , with a broad forehead, a curved nose.
He will fill the earth with equity and justice just as it had been filled with oppression and injustice , and he will rule by kingdom for seven years.”[^1] Al-Albani says: حسن Hasan . ^2 Imam Ahmad (d. 241 H) also documents: حدثنا عبد الله حدثني أبي ثنا محمد بن جعفر ثنا عوف عن أبي الصديق الناجي عن أبي سعيد الخدري قال قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه و سلم لا تقوم الساعة حتى تمتلئ الأرض ظلما وعدوانا قال ثم يخرج رجل من عترتي أو من أهل بيتي يملؤها قسطا وعدلا كما ملئت ظلما وعدوانا ‘Abd Allah (b.
Ahmad) – my father (Ahmad b. Hanbal) – Muhammad b. Ja’far – ‘Awf – Abu al-Siddiq al-Naji – Abu Sa’id al-Khudri: The Messenger of Allah, peace be upon him, said: “The Hour will not be established until the earth is filled with injustice and aggression. Then, a man from my offspring or my will come out.
He will fill it with equity and justice just as it had been filled with injustice and aggression .”[^3] Shaykh al-Arnauṭ comments: إسناده صحيح على شرط الشيخين Its chain is sahih upon the standard of the two Shaykhs. ^4 A world with almost no oppression and injustice is only a wild dream today; and certainly, it will take a great miracle to achieve.
