Arabic hadith text

حَدَّثَنَا سَهْلُ بْنُ تَمَّامِ بْنِ بَزِيعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عِمْرَانُ الْقَطَّانُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي نَضْرَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏"‏ الْمَهْدِيُّ مِنِّي أَجْلَى الْجَبْهَةِ أَقْنَى الأَنْفِ يَمْلأُ الأَرْضَ قِسْطًا وَعَدْلاً كَمَا مُلِئَتْ جَوْرًا وَظُلْمًا يَمْلِكُ سَبْعَ سِنِينَ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Translation

Sahl ibn Tammam ibn Bazi narrated to us: Imran al-Qattan narrated to us, from Qatadah, from Abu Nadr, from Abu Said al-Khudri, who said: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, “The Mahdi is from me, broad of forehead and prominent-nosed. He will fill the earth with fairness and justice as it was filled with injustice and oppression, and he will rule for seven years.”
