Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Is it established regarding al-Mahdi that Allah will rectify him in a single night?
The Shaykh : Yes, but what does it mean that Allah will rectify him in a single night? Does it mean he was an open sinner or a disbeliever? No, it means he will be rectified to lead the Muslim community. Glory be to You, O Allah, and praise be to You. I testify that there is no deity but You. I seek Your forgiveness and turn to You in repentance.
The questioner : Where do we find this, O Shaykh?
The Shaykh : It is a hadith in "Al-Silsilah," in the first volume of "Al-Da'ifah." On the occasion of discussing the weakness of the weak hadiths narrated regarding al-Mahdi, I mentioned this hadith.
