        The Mahdi will come to my [Muhammad's] com mu ni -
        ty… In his time, my com mu ni ty will be bless ed with a
        bless ing the like of which has never been seen before.
        He will cause much rain to fall, and the plants of the
        ground will hold back noth ing.
                                             ( Ibid., p. 9)
        Even if only one night remained for the world, Allah
        would extend it, so that one from my House would come
        and rule the world. His name match es mine, and his
        father's name my father's name. Just as the world was
        filled with cru el ty, he will fill it with jus tice.
                                            (Ibid., p. 11)

         THE MAHDI WILL BE DESCENDED FROM OUR
         PROPHET'S (SAAS) LINE
        Even if there remains only one day for the world, Allah,
        the Exalted, will send a man from the Ahl al-bayt (People
        of the House).
                                  (Sunan Abu Dawud, 5:92)
        Days and nights will not end until an indi vid u al from my
        Ahl al-bayt rules the world.
                                              (al-Uqayli)
        The Mahdi is from the line of my daugh ter Fatima.
                                  (Sunan Ibn Majah, 10:348)
