174     The Glad Tidings of the Messiah (pbuh)





                      [In his time], there will be no rancour between any two persons.
                      (Sahih Muslim)
                      [In his time], peace will prevail and people will use their swords as
                      sickles. Every harmful beast will be made harmless . . . A child will
                      play with a fox and not come to any harm; a wolf will graze with
                      sheep and a lion with cattle, without harming them. (Ahmad ibn
                      Hanbal, Musnad)


                              There Will Be Great Prosperity


                      [When he comes] wealth will be so abundant that no one will accept
                      it [alms]. (Sahih al-Bukhari and Sahih al-Muslim)
                      The son of Mary (Jesus) will return and make the dajjal ineffective.
                      Then you will live for 40 years in prosperity. (Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi,
                      Al-Burhan fi 'Alamat al-Mahdi Akhir az-Zaman, 90)

                      Everywhere food will cook in pots, unseen prosperity will dominate,
                      and material wealth will be disregarded. (Ibn Hajar al-Haythami,
                      Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi 'Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntazar, 66)
                      "Earth will turn like the silver tray, growing vegetation as it did in
                      the time of Adam (peace be upon him) so much so that a group of
                      people will eat a bunch of grapes and it will satiate them;a group of
                      people will eat a single pomegranate and it will satiate them;the bull
                      will be sold for a lot of money and a horse will cost only a few
                      dirhams." The audience asked: "Allah's Messenger, why will a
                      horse be so cheap? He replied:"It will not be used as a mount for

                      replied:"The whole land would be tilled." (Sunan Ibn Majah)
