One of the most important pieces of information about Hazrat Mahdi
(as) that our Prophet (saas) gives in many of the hadiths isthe fact
that Hazrat Mahdi (as) will cause no blood to be spilled at any time
in his life. Indeed, our Prophet (saas) says of the age under the
spiritual leadership of Hazrat Mahdi (as) that "he will not wake a
sleeping person or even shed onedrop of blood ." (Ibn Hajar
al-Haythami, Al-Qawl al-Mukhtasar fi `Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntadhar, p.
29)
Our Prophet (saas) expresses this as follows in another hadith:
In the time of [Hazrat Mahdi (as)] no one will be woken up from their
sleep OR HAVE A BLEEDINGNOSE. (Ibn Hajar al-Haythami, Al-Qawl
al-Mukhtasar fi `Alamat al-Mahdi al-Muntadhar, p. 44)
Not shedding blood is Allah's command to Hazrat Mahdi (as) by
revealing it to our Prophet (saas). It is therefore impossible for
Hazrat Mahdi (as) to employ any other meansthan love, affection,
compassion, friendship and brotherhood in causing the moral valuesof
Islam to rule the world. Because any other behavior would mean
violating Allah's commandment, may Allah forbid.
Hazrat Mahdi (as) is a person of love and affection. The intense love
and affection that Allah creates in Hazrat Mahdi's (as) soul and that
will have an impact across the whole world are expressed as follows in
hadiths:
Due to the blessings of Imam az-Zaman [Hazrat Mahdi (as)] people's
hearts will be filled with mutual love and unity. (Bihar al-Anwar,
vol. 53, p. 187; Mikyaal al-Makaarem, vol. 1, p. 52)
[In the time of Hazrat Mahdi (as)] LOVE AND KINDNESS WILL PERVADE ALL
THE NOOKS AND CORNERS OF THE EARTH . (Iqbaal al-A'maal, p. 507; Bihar
al-Anwar, vol. 21, p. 312)
Certain people and circles with ulterior motives who say that blood
will be shed in floods in the End Times have ascribed, in their own
eyes, such a task to Hazrat Mahdi (as) both out of lack of knowledgeof
the hadiths and also deliberate distortion, of those hadiths under the
influence of satan. It is true that there will be bloodshed in the End
Times, but it is the antichrist who will shed it in floods, not Hazrat
Mahdi (as). The antichristmeans blood and pus. The antichrist will
elevate hatred of Muslims to its highest level in the End Times.
Hewill imprison the whole of mankind, and especially the Muslim world,
within an oppressive system, the like of which has never been seen
before. Our Prophet (saas) also describes this climate that will
emerge in the End Times in the hadiths:
(At that time) There will be much corruption, disorder and rebellion,
and people will kill one another. People will taketheir own lives and
the world will be filled with sorrow . The accursed dajjal will appear
at sucha troubled time...(Ash-Sharani, Mukhtasar Tazkirah al-Qurtubi,
p. 482)
At a time when the world will be in utter confusion and disorder, when
murders and tribulation appears ... when roads will be cut, when some
attack some others... (Al-Muttaqi al-Hindi, Al-Burhan fi Alamat
al-Mahdi Akhir az-Zaman, p. 454)
Allah reveals to our Prophet (saas) that Hazrat Mahdi (as) will not
shed blood and our Prophet (saas) imparts this to Hazrat Mahdi
(as).Hazrat Mahdi (as) will abide by this command of Allah.
Allah reveals to our Prophet (saas) that Hazrat Mahdi (as) will not
shed blood and our Prophet (saas) imparts this to Hazrat Mahdi
(as).Hazrat Mahdi (as) will abide by this command of Allah.
From Mr. Adnan Oktar`s interview on Adıyaman Asu TV on 27 September, 2010
Allah will send Hazrat Mahdi (as) to halt the flow of blood. Hazrat
Mahdi (as) is "anti-blood." It is Hazrat Mahdi(as) who will completely
silence Darwinism and materialism, the religionof the movement of the
antichrist that incite violence and conflict, cause people to regard
one another as animals, and incite selfishness, cruelty and
ruthlessness. In doing this he will use science and philosophy and
silence the movement of the antichrist with its own weapons.
With the total silencing of the movement of the antichrist, love,
affection, compassion, peace, security, brotherhood and friendship
will replace conflict, war, fighting and anger. All weapons will be
eliminated in the time of Hazrat Mahdi (as), and the money spent on
the military willinstead be diverted to science, art, technology and
other activities that benefit mankind. Our Prophet (as) foretold these
delights in the time of Hazrat Mahdi (as)1400 years ago:
All grudges and mutual hatred will be removed… Earth will be filled
with peace, just as a vessel is filled with water; . There will also
be unity in religion and none other than Allah will be worshipped
anymore. The (competents of) battle will abandon its load (arms and
equipment) . (Sunan Ibn Majah, 10/334)
(The competents of) Warwill abandon its load (namely, arms and the
like)… All hostility and hatred vanish.(Al-Sharani, Mukhtasar Tazkirah
al-Qurtubi, p. 496)

*- WHAT ISLAM SAYS -*
-
Islam is a religion of Mercy, Peace and Blessing. Its teachings emphasize kind hear tedness, help, sympathy, forgiveness, sacrifice, love and care.Qur’an, the Shari’ah and the life of our beloved Prophet (SAW) mirrors this attribute, and it should be reflected in the conduct of a Momin.Islam appreciates those who are kind to their fellow being,and dislikes them who are hard hearted, curt, and hypocrite.Recall that historical moment, when Prophet (SAW) entered Makkah as a conqueror. There was before him a multitude of surrendered enemies, former oppressors and persecutors, who had evicted the Muslims from their homes, deprived them of their belongings, humiliated and intimidated Prophet (SAW) hatched schemes for his murder and tortured and killed his companions. But Prophet (SAW) displayed his usual magnanimity, generosity, and kind heartedness by forgiving all of them and declaring general amnesty...Subhanallah. May Allah help us tailor our life according to the teachings of Islam. (Aameen)./-

It is the antichrist (dajjal) who will shed blood in the End Times. Hazrat Mahdi (as) will come to halt these rivers of bloodshed by the antichrist.
Story, - The Boats of the Glen Carrig: Chapter 2
II
THE SHIP IN THE CREEK
THEN, IT WAS nigh on to evening, we came upon a creek opening into the
greater one through the bank upon our left. We had been like to pass
it--as, indeed, we had passed many throughoutthe day--but that the
bo'sun, whose boat had the lead, cried out that there was some craft
lying-up, a little beyond the first bend. And, indeed, so it seemed;
for one of the masts of her--all jagged, where it had carried
away--stuck up plain to our view.
Now, having grown sick with so much lonesomeness, and beingin fear of
the approaching night, we gave out something nearto a cheer, which,
however, the bo'sun silenced, having no knowledge of those whomight
occupy the stranger. And so, in silence, the bo'sun turned his craft
toward the creek, whereat we followed, taking heed to keep quietness,
and working the oars warily. So, in a little, we came tothe shoulder
of the bend, and had plain sight of the vessel some little way beyond
us. From the distance she had no appearance of being inhabited; so
that after some small hesitation, we pulled towards her, though still
being at pains to keep silence.
The strange vessel lay against that bank of the creek which was upon
our right, and over above her was a thick clump of the stunted trees.
For the rest, she appeared to be firmly imbedded in the heavy mud, and
there was a certain look of age about her which carried to me a
doleful suggestion that we should find naught aboard of her fit for an
honest stomach.
We had come to a distance of maybe some ten fathoms from her starboard
bow--for she lay with her head down towards the mouth of the little
creek--when the bo'sun bade his men to back water, the whichJosh did
regarding our own boat. Then, being ready to fly if we had been in
danger, the bo'sun hailed the stranger; but got no reply, save that
some echo of his shout seemedto come back at us. And so he sung out
again to her, chance there might be some below decks who had not
caught his first hail; but, for the second time, no answer came to us,
save the low echo--naught, but that the silent trees took on alittle
quivering, as though his voice had shaken them.
At that, being confident now within our minds, we laid alongside, and,
in a minute had shinned up the oars and so gained her decks. Here,
save that the glass of the skylight of the main cabin had been broken,
and some portion of the framework shattered, there was no
extraordinary litter; so that it appeared to us as though she had been
no great while abandoned.
So soon as the bo'sun had made his way up from the boat, he turnedaft
toward the scuttle, the rest of us following. We found the leaf of the
scuttle pulled forward to within an inch of closing,and so much effort
did it require of us to push it back, that we had immediate evidence
of a considerable time since any had gone down that way.
However, it was no greatwhile before we were below, and here we found
the main cabin to be empty, save for the bare furnishings. From it
there opened off two state-rooms at the forrard end, and the captain's
cabin in the after part, and in all of these we found matters of
clothing and sundries such as proved that the vessel had been
desertedapparently in haste. In further proof of this we found, in a
drawer in thecaptain's room, a considerable quantity of loose gold,
the which it was not to be supposed would have been left by the
free-will of the owner.
Of the state-rooms, the one upon the starboard side gave evidence that
it had been occupied by a woman--no doubt a passenger. The other, in
which there were two bunks, had been shared, so far as we could have
any certainty, by a couple of young men; and this we gathered by
observation of various garments which were scattered carelessly about.
Yet it must not be supposed that we spent any great time in the
cabins; for we were pressed for food, and made haste--under the
directing of the bo'sun--to discover if the hulk held victuals whereby
we might be kept alive.
To this end, we removed the hatch which led down to the lazarette,
and, lighting two lamps which we had with us in the boats, went down
to make a search. And so, ina little while, we came upon two casks
which the bo'sun broke open with a hatchet. These casks were sound and
tight, and in them was ship's biscuit, very good and fit for food. At
this, as may be imagined, we felt eased in our minds, knowing that
there was no immediate fear of starvation. Following this, we found a
barrel of molasses; a cask of rum; some cases of dried fruit--these
were mouldyand scarce fit to be eaten; a cask of salt beef,another of
pork; a small barrel of vinegar; a case of brandy; two barrels
offlour--one of which proved to be damp-struck; and a bunch of tallow
dips.
In a little while we had all these things up in the big cabin, so that
we might come at them the better to make choice of that which was fit
for our stomachs, and that which was otherwise. Meantime, whilst the
bo'sun overhauled these matters, Josh called a couple of the men, and
went on deck to bring up the gear from the boats, for it had been
decided that we should pass the night aboard the hulk.
When this was accomplished, Josh took a walk forward to the fo'cas'le;
but found nothing beyond two seamen's chests; a sea-bag, and some odd
gear. There were, indeed, no more than ten bunks in the place; for she
was but a small brig, and had no call for a great crowd. Yet Josh was
more than a little puzzled to know what had come to the odd chests;
for it was not to be supposed that there had been no more than
two--and a sea-bag--among ten men. But to this, at that time, he had
no answer, and so, beingsharp for supper, made areturn to the deck,
and thence to the main cabin.
Now while he had been gone, the bo'sun had set the men to clearing out
the main cabin; after which, he had served outtwo biscuits apiece all
round, and a tot of rum. To Josh, when he appeared, he gave the same,
and, in a little, we called a sort of council; being sufficiently
stayed by the food to talk.
Yet, before we came to speech, we made shift tolight our pipes; for
the bo'sun had discovered a case of tobacco in the captain's cabin,
and afterthis we came to the consideration of our position.
We had provender, so the bo'sun calculated, to last us for the better
partof two months, and this without any great stint; but we had yet to
prove if the brig held water in her casks, for that in the creek was
brackish, evenso far as we had penetrated from the sea;else we had not
been in need. To the charge of this, the bo'sun set Josh, along with
two of the men. Another, he told to take charge of the galley, so long
as we were in the hulk. But for that night, he said we had no need to
do aught; for we had sufficient of water in theboats' breakers to last
us till the morrow. And so, in a little, the dusk began to fill the
cabin; but we talked on, being greatly content with our present ease
and the good tobacco which we enjoyed.
In a little while, one of the men cried out suddenly to us to be
silent, and, in that minute, all heard it--a far, drawn-out wailing;
the same which had come to us in the evening of the first day. At that
we looked at one another through the smoke and the growing dark, and,
even as we looked, it became plainer heard, until, in a while, it was
all about us--aye! it seemed to come floating down through the broken
framework of the skylight as though some weariful, unseen thing stood
and cried upon thedecks above our heads.
Now through all that crying, none moved; none, that is, save Josh and
the bo'sun, and theywent up into the scuttle to see whether anything
was in sight; but they found nothing, and so came down to us; for
there was no wisdom in exposing ourselves, unarmed as we were, save
for our sheath-knives.
And so, in a little, the night crept down upon the world, and still we
sat within the dark cabin, none speaking, and knowing of the rest only
by the glows of their pipes.
All at once there came a low, muttered growl, stealing across the
land; and immediately the crying was quenched in its sullen thunder.
It diedaway, and there was a full minute of silence; then, once more
it came, and it was nearer and more plain to the ear. I took my pipe
from my mouth; for I had come again upon the great fear and uneasiness
which the happenings ofthe first night had bred in me, and the taste
of the smoke brought me no more pleasure. The muttered growl swept
over our heads and died away into the distance, and there was a sudden
silence.
Then, in that quietness, came the bo'sun's voice. He was bidding us
haste every one into the captain's cabin. As we moved to obey him, he
ran to draw over the lid of the scuttle; and Josh went with him, and,
together, they had it across; though with difficulty. When we had come
into the captain's cabin, we closed and barred the door, piling two
great sea-chests up against it; and so we felt near safe; for we knew
that no thing, man nor beast, could come at us there. Yet, as may be
supposed, we felt not altogether secure; for there was that in the
growling which now filled the darkness, that seemed demoniac, and we
knew not what horrid Powers were abroad.
And so through the nightthe growling continued, seeming to be mighty
near unto us--aye! almost over our heads, and of a loudness far
surpassing all that had come to us on the previous night; so that I
thanked the Almighty that we had come into shelter in the midst of so
much fear. [ tobe continued....]

Dought & clear,- Belief in the Last Day and the Signs of the Day ,Good deeds appear in the form of a man in the grave.
How sound is this hadeeth?
"When a person dies, whilst his relatives are busy with his funeral
rites, a very handsome man stands at the head of the deceased and when
the body is shrouded, that man comes in between the shroud and chest
of the deceased, and after the burial, the people go back to their
homes and the two angels Munkar and Nakeer come to the grave and they
try to separate this handsome man from the deceased so that they will
be able to question the deceased about his faith.But the good-looking
man says: 'He is my friend, he is my friend, and I will never leave
him without interveningunder any circumstances. If you areappointed to
question him, then do as you are commanded, but as for me, I can never
leave him until I admit him to Paradise.' Then the handsome man turns
to the deceased and says tohim: 'I am the Qur'aan that you used to
recite ina loud voice sometimes and in a low voice sometimes. Do not
worry. After the questioning of Munkar and Nakeer, there will be no
sorrow after this day.' When the questioning ends, the handsome man
and the angels prepare a bed of silk filled with musk for the deceased
in Paradise.".
Praise be to Allaah.
What is narrated in the saheeh Sunnah about one's good deeds takinga
physical form and appearing in the form ofa handsome man in the grave,
including the deed of reciting the HolyQur'aan, is as follows:
1-
It was narrated from al-Bara' ibn 'Aazib (may Allaah be pleased with
him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)
said:
"When the believing slave is about to depart this world and enter the
Hereafter, there come down to him from heaven angels with white faces
like the sun, and they sit around him as far as the eye can see. They
bring with them shrouds from Paradise and perfumes from Paradise…"
until he said,describing the state of the believer in the grave:
"Then a voice calls out from heaven, 'My slave has spoken the truth,
so prepare for him a bed from Paradise and clothehim from Paradise,
and open for him a gate to Paradise.' Then there comes to him some of
itsfragrance, and his grave is made wide, as far as he can see. Then
there comes to him a man with a handsome face and handsome clothes,
and a good fragrance, who says, 'Receive the glad tidings that will
bring you joy this day.' He says, 'Who are you? Your face is a face
whichbrings glad tidings.' He says, 'I am your righteous deeds.' He
says, 'O Lord, hasten the Hour so that I may returnto my family and my
wealth.'"
Narrated by Ahmad (4/362); classed as saheeh by al-Albaani in Ahkaam
al-Janaa'iz (156).
2-
It was narrated that Buraydah (may Allaah bepleased with him) said: I
heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say:
"The Qur'aan will meet its companion on the Day of Resurrection when
his grave is opened for him, in the form of a pale man. It will say to
him, 'Do you recognize me?' He will say: 'I do not recognize you.' It
will say: 'I am your companion the Qur'aan, who kept you thirsty on
hot days and kept you awake at night.Every merchant benefits from his
business and today you will benefit from your good deeds.' He will be
given dominion in his right hand and eternity in his left, and there
will be placed on his head a crown of dignity, and hisparents will be
clothed with priceless garments the like of which have never been seen
in this world. They will say: 'Why have we been clothed with this?' It
will be said: 'Because your son used to recite Qur'aan.' Then it will
be said to him: 'Recite and ascend in the degrees of Paradise,' and he
will continue to ascend so long as he recites, either at a fast pace
or a slow pace ."

(3781); classed as hasan by al-Busayri in al-Zawaa'id and by
al-Albaani in al-Silsilah al-Saheehah (2829).
Al-Suyooti said in his commentary on the hadeeth (2/1242):
"In the form of a pale man". Al-Suyooti said: This is the one whose
colour has changed. It is as if he comes in this form so as to
resemble his companion in this world, or to draw attention to the fact
thatjust as his colour changed in this world because of staying up at
night to read Qur'aan, the Qur'aan will appear in a similar form
becauseof its striving on the Day of Resurrection until its companion
attains the ultimate goal in the Hereafter. End quote.
I have not found anything in the saheeh Sunnah to suggest that aman's
righteous deeds will appear in the form of a man in the grave except
in these two hadeeths.
As for the hadeeth whichyou quoted, it is not narrated in any of the
reliable books of Sunnah, and we have not found it with any isnaad,
saheeh (sound) or da'eef (weak). Rather it is something that appears
in some chat rooms or on some sites with no proof. Perhaps some
ignorant person wrote it himself then attributed it to the Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him), to encouragethe people to
respect theQur'aan and pay attention to it, but these people do not
know thattelling lies about the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah
be upon him) is one of the worst of sins that doom a person to the
Fire of Hell, and the good intention does not remove the burden of sin
for those who tell liesand fabricate ahaadeethas if the Prophet (peace
and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said them. The Prophet (peace and
blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: "Telling lies about me is not
like telling lies about anyoneelse. Whoever tells a lie about me
deliberately, let him take his place in Hell." Narrated by al-Bukhaari
(1291) and Muslim (4).
"When a person dies, whilst his relatives are busy with his funeral
rites, a very handsome man stands at the head of the deceased and when
the body is shrouded, that man comes in between the shroud and chest
of the deceased, and after the burial, the people go back to their
homes and the two angels Munkar and Nakeer come to the grave and they
try to separate this handsome man from the deceased so that they will
be able to question the deceased about his faith.But the good-looking
man says: 'He is my friend, he is my friend, and I will never leave
him without interveningunder any circumstances. If you areappointed to
question him, then do as you are commanded, but as for me, I can never
leave him until I admit him to Paradise.' Then the handsome man turns
to the deceased and says tohim: 'I am the Qur'aan that you used to
recite ina loud voice sometimes and in a low voice sometimes. Do not
worry. After the questioning of Munkar and Nakeer, there will be no
sorrow after this day.' When the questioning ends, the handsome man
and the angels prepare a bed of silk filled with musk for the deceased
in Paradise.".
Praise be to Allaah.
What is narrated in the saheeh Sunnah about one's good deeds takinga
physical form and appearing in the form ofa handsome man in the grave,
including the deed of reciting the HolyQur'aan, is as follows:
1-
It was narrated from al-Bara' ibn 'Aazib (may Allaah be pleased with
him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)
said:
"When the believing slave is about to depart this world and enter the
Hereafter, there come down to him from heaven angels with white faces
like the sun, and they sit around him as far as the eye can see. They
bring with them shrouds from Paradise and perfumes from Paradise…"
until he said,describing the state of the believer in the grave:
"Then a voice calls out from heaven, 'My slave has spoken the truth,
so prepare for him a bed from Paradise and clothehim from Paradise,
and open for him a gate to Paradise.' Then there comes to him some of
itsfragrance, and his grave is made wide, as far as he can see. Then
there comes to him a man with a handsome face and handsome clothes,
and a good fragrance, who says, 'Receive the glad tidings that will
bring you joy this day.' He says, 'Who are you? Your face is a face
whichbrings glad tidings.' He says, 'I am your righteous deeds.' He
says, 'O Lord, hasten the Hour so that I may returnto my family and my
wealth.'"

al-Janaa'iz (156).

It was narrated that Buraydah (may Allaah bepleased with him) said: I
heard the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say:
"The Qur'aan will meet its companion on the Day of Resurrection when
his grave is opened for him, in the form of a pale man. It will say to
him, 'Do you recognize me?' He will say: 'I do not recognize you.' It
will say: 'I am your companion the Qur'aan, who kept you thirsty on
hot days and kept you awake at night.Every merchant benefits from his
business and today you will benefit from your good deeds.' He will be
given dominion in his right hand and eternity in his left, and there
will be placed on his head a crown of dignity, and hisparents will be
clothed with priceless garments the like of which have never been seen
in this world. They will say: 'Why have we been clothed with this?' It
will be said: 'Because your son used to recite Qur'aan.' Then it will
be said to him: 'Recite and ascend in the degrees of Paradise,' and he
will continue to ascend so long as he recites, either at a fast pace
or a slow pace ."
