It has been talked about Mahdi (PBUH) in prophetic traditions\na lot. (Prophetic traditions are traditions that both Shia and Sunni certify.)\nAs we try to explain Sunni’s beliefs about Mahdi (PBUH) in this article, we\nrefer to traditions found in Sunni’s authentic books so that his advent in\ntraditions would be recognized.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
1-Prophet Muhammad\n(PBUH&HP) said: “If it remains only one day to the end of the world,\nAllah will inspire a man of my family, who will make the world full of justice\nafter it has become full of oppression.” (Sahih Abu Dawood, vol. 2, p. 208)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
2-Prophet Muhammad\n(PBUH&HP) said: “If it remains only one day to the end of the world,\nAllah will elongate that day until a man of my family whose name is the same as\nmine will be inspired, he will make the world full of justice after it ha\nbecome full of oppression.” (Sahih al-Tirmidhi, vol. 5, p. 343)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
3-Prophet Muhammad\n(PBUH&HP) said: “Some time, the world will become full of oppression,\nand then a man of my family will appear. He will rule for seven or nine years\nand will make the world full of justice.” (Musnad Ahmad, vol. 3, p. 28)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
4-Prophet Muhammad\n(PBUH&HP) said: “Mahdi is from my family and a son of my daughter,\nFatimah.” (al-Sava\u2019iq, p.163 & Sunan ibn Majah, vol. 2, p. 1368]<\/p>\n\n\n\n
5-Prophet Muhammad\n(PBUH&HP) said: “Mahdi (PBUH) is from us, he has a long forehead and a\nknob on his nose. He will make the world full of justice after it has become\nfull of oppression.” (Sahih Abu Dawood, vol. 2, p. 208)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
6-Prophet Muhammad\n(PBUH&HP) said: “I give you good tidings about Mahdi, he will be\ninspired in my community and make the world full of justice as it has become\nfull of oppression, people will be satisfied with him, and will divide all\nproperties equally between all people. Allah will make people free from want\nand justice will be everywhere.” (Musnad Ahmad, vol. 3, p. 37)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
7-Prophet Muhammad (PBUH&HP) said: “Actually,\nAli ibn Abitalib is the leader of my community and my successor. Mahdi is of\nhis sons, by which Allah will make the world full of justice after it has\nbecome full of oppression. I swear to Allah, who has delegated me, people who\nabide by his Imamat during his occultation are rare such as red Sulphur.”\n(Hamwayni in Fara\u2019id al-Samtain, the end of vol. 2)<\/p>\n\n\n\n
8-Abd al-Rahman\nal-Suyuti, one of the great Sunni scholars has written in his book that Prophet\nMuhammad (PBUH&HP) said: “Anyone who denies the appearance of Mahdi\nhas become pagan.”<\/p>\n\n\n\n
9-Ibn Hajar Haithami\nShafe’i has written in his book, al-Sava’iq (p. 164): “Ab al-Qasim,\nProphet Muhammad, al-Hujjat, his age is five when his father passes away. Allah\nhas given knowledge at that time. He is called “Qa’im al-Muntadhar”,\nhe is the savior of this community and Jesus will say prayers with him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
