Shiavault - a Vault of Shia Islamic Books Selected Narrations about the Twelfth Imam volume 2 Section Twenty-Six The traditions that indicate he will fill the earth with fairness and justice just as it will be filled with injustice and unfairness Comprised of 148 traditions Al-Fitan[^1]: Al-Walīd narrated to us from Sa`īd, from Qatāda, from Abī Naḍra, from Abū Sa`īd al-Khudrī, may Allah be satisfied with him, from the Holy Prophet, Allah’s blessings be on him and his family, who said: “[The Mahdī] will give away wealth munificently and will not count [what he is giving away].

He will fill the earth with justice just as it will be filled with injustice and unfairness.” Al-Fitan[^2]: Al-Walīd narrated to us from Abū Rāfi` Ismā’īl b. Rāfi`, from someone who narrated to him, from Abū Sa`īd al-Khudrī, from the Holy Prophet, Allah’s blessings be on him and his family, who said: “His nation will take refuge in him like the bees that take refuge in their leader.

He will fill the earth with justice just as it will be filled with injustice; until the people return to their original state [and will become so peaceful] that no one will wake up someone who is asleep and no blood will be shed.” Al-Fitan[^3]: Narrated to us ibn Wahb, from al-Ḥarth, from Minhāl b. `Amr b.

Ziyād, from Abū Naḍra, from Abū Sa`īd al-Khudrī, from the Holy Prophet, Allah’s blessings be upon him and his family, who said: “He will fill the earth with justice as it will be filled with unfairness and injustice before him. He will rule for seven years.” Al-Musnad[^4]: Narrated to us `Abd-Allah, from his father, from Muḥammad b.

Ja`far, from `Auf, from Abū l-Ṣiddīq al-Nājī, from Abū Sa`īd al-Khudrī that the Messenger of Allah, Allah’s blessings be on him and his family, said: “The Hour will not be established until the earth is filled with unfairness and oppression.

Then, a person from my progeny—or from my Ahl al-Bait—will emerge who will fill it with fairness and justice just as it will be filled with unfairness and oppression.” Kanz al-`ummāl[^5]: From `Alī, peace be on him, who said: The earth will be filled with unfairness and injustice to such an extent that fear and grief will enter every house. They will ask for two dirhams . . . but it will not be given to them.

Wars will follow wars and wealth will follow wealth until Allah surrounds them in His land; then, he will fill the earth with justice and fairness. Kamāl al-dīn[^6]: Narrated to us `Alī b. Muḥammad b.
