Narrated Jabir ibn Samurah:
The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: The
religion will continue to be established till there are twelve caliphs over
you, and the whole community will agree on each of them. I then heard from the
Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) some remarks which I could not understand. I asked
my father: What is he saying: He said: all of them will belong to Quraysh.
Book 36, Number 4269:
Narrated Abdullah ibn Mas'ud:
The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: If only
one day of this world remained. Allah would lengthen that day (according to
the version of Za'idah), till He raised up in it a man who belongs to me or to
my family whose father's name is the same as my father's, who will fill the
earth with equity and justice as it has been filled with oppression and
tyranny (according to the version of Fitr). Sufyan's version says: The world
will not pass away before the Arabs are ruled by a man of my family whose name
will be the same as mine.

Narrated Ali ibn AbuTalib:

oppression.

qualities.
Book 36, Number 4272:
Narrated AbuSa'id al-Khudri:
The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: The
Mahdi will be of my stock, and will have a broad forehead a prominent nose. He
will fill the earth will equity and justice as it was filled with oppression
and tyranny, and he will rule for seven years.
Book 36, Number 4273:
Narrated Umm Salamah, Ummul Mu'minin:
The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said:
Disagreement will occur at the death of a caliph and a man of the people of
Medina will come flying forth to Mecca. Some of the people of Mecca will come
to him, bring him out against his will and swear allegiance to him between the
Corner and the Maqam. An expeditionary force will then be sent against him
from Syria but will be swallowed up in the desert between Mecca and Medina.
When the people see that, the eminent saints of Syria and the best people of
Iraq will come to him and swear allegiance to him between the Corner and the
Maqam.
Then there will arise a man of Quraysh whose
maternal uncles belong to Kalb and send against them an expeditionary force
which will be overcome by them, and that is the expedition of Kalb.
Disappointed will be the one who does not receive the booty of Kalb. He will
divide the property, and will govern the people by the Sunnah of their Prophet
(peace_be_upon_him) and establish Islam on Earth. He will remain seven years,
then die, and the Muslims will pray over him.
Book 36, Number 4276A:
Narrated Ali ibn AbuTalib:
AbuIshaq told that Ali looked at his son
al-Hasan and said: This son of mine is a sayyid (chief) as named by the
Prophet (peace_be_upon_him), and from his loins will come forth a man who will
be called by the name of your Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) and resemble him in
conduct but not in appearance. He then mentioned the story about his filling
the earth with justice.
Book 36, Number 4277:
Narrated Ali ibn AbuTalib:
The Prophet (peace_be_upon_him) said: A man
called al-Harith ibn Harrath will come forth from Ma Wara an-Nahr. His army
will be led by a man called Mansur who will establish or consolidate things
for Muhammad's family as Quraysh consolidated them for the Apostle of Allah
(peace_be_upon_him). Every believer must help him, or he said: respond to his
sermons.
