Arabic hadith text

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 صلى الله عليه وسلم 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 ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Nasr ibn ‘Ali al-Jahdami narrated to us; Muhammad ibn Marwan al-‘Uqayli narrated to us; ‘Umarah ibn Abi Hafsah narrated to us, from Zayd al-‘Ammi, from Abu Siddiq al-Naji, from Abu Sa‘id al-Khudri, that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: “The Mahdi will be among my community. If his time is short, it will be seven; otherwise, it will be nine. During that time my community will enjoy a prosperity unlike anything it has ever enjoyed. The land will yield its produce and withhold nothing from them, and wealth will be heaped up. A man will stand and say, ‘Mahdi, give me something.’ He will say, ‘Take it.’”
