...in his time nobody will be awok en out of sleep and
nobod y's nose will bleed.

THE MAHDI WILL BRING OUT TRUE ISLAMIC
MORAL VALUES
The had iths reveal that the Mahdi will do away with
all super sti tions and prac ti ces that have been added
on to Islam. As we learn from the had ith"He will gov ern
peo ple with the Sunnah of the Prophet (saas)," he will
adhere to our Prophet's (saas) path and, just as in his
day, will be a means by which reli gious moral val ues
are truly lived.
He [the Mahdi] will prac tice the reli gion just as [it was
prac ticed] in the time of Our Prophet. He will elim i nate
the sects from the face of Earth. No sect, except for the
orig i nal true reli gion, will remain.

(Barzanji, Al-Isha‘ah, pp. 186-87)
The Mahdi will leave no her e sy.
(Al-Haythami, Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar, p. 43)
