Ghāyat al-ma’mūl[^3]: The Mahdī will turn his face [towards] Jesus, son of Mary— who will have descended. It will be is as if water is dripping from [Jesus’] hair. The Mahdī will say to him, “Come forward and lead the prayers for the people.” He will reply, “The prayers have been established for you.” So, [Jesus] will pray behind a person from my descendants and he is the Mahdī. Al-Fitan[^4]: From more than one person, from Ḥammād b. Salma, from `Alī b. Zaid, from a person, from `Abd-Allah b.

He is the one who will lead the prayers for Jesus, son of Mary—peace be on them.” Al-Muṣannaf[^6]: Narrated to us Abū Usāma, from Hishām, from ibn Sīrīn that “The Mahdī is from this nation.
