Sunan Ibn Majah 4083 (Book 36, Hadith 158) #33438
The Coming of the Mahdi

SUMMARY: The Prophet ﷺ said that the Mahdi will bring a time of ease and abundance to his nation, and people will be able to ask him for whatever they need.

It was narrated from Abu Sa'eed Al-Khudri that the Prophet said: "The Mahdi will be among my nation. If he lives for a short period, it will be seven, and if he lives for a long period, it will be nine, during which my nation will enjoy a time of ease such as it has never enjoyed. The land will bring forth its yield and will not hold back anything, and wealth at that time will be piled up. A man will stand up and say: 'O Mahdi, give me!' He will say: 'Take'."
حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْجَهْضَمِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ مَرْوَانَ الْعُقَيْلِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عُمَارَةُ بْنُ أَبِي حَفْصَةَ، عَنْ زَيْدٍ الْعَمِّيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي صِدِّيقٍ النَّاجِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ـ ـ قَالَ ‏ "‏ يَكُونُ فِي أُمَّتِي الْمَهْدِيُّ إِنْ قُصِرَ فَسَبْعٌ وَإِلاَّ فَتِسْعٌ فَتَنْعَمُ فِيهِ أُمَّتِي نَعْمَةً لَمْ يَنْعَمُوا مِثْلَهَا قَطُّ تُؤْتَى أُكُلَهَا وَلاَ تَدَّخِرُ مِنْهُمْ شَيْئًا وَالْمَالُ يَوْمَئِذٍ كُدُوسٌ فَيَقُومُ الرَّجُلُ فَيَقُولُ يَا مَهْدِيُّ أَعْطِنِي فَيَقُولُ خُذْ

QUICK LESSONS:
Have faith in your leaders, Be patient with God's plan

EXPLANATIONS:
According to this hadith, the Prophet Muhammad predicted that a man called the Mahdi would come and bring a time of ease and abundance to his nation. During this period, people would be able to ask him for whatever they need, and he would give it freely. This is an example of how generous he will be during this time. It is also an example of how much faith Muslims have in their leaders; they believe that if someone is chosen by God as their leader, then they should trust them completely. This hadith also teaches us about patience; even though we may not see immediate results from our efforts or prayers, we should still have faith that God's plan will eventually come into fruition.
