Hadith 5241

(1) His statement: “after two hundred” refers to after two hundred years from the Hijrah, the establishment of Islam, or his death. It is possible that the definite article in “two hundred” refers to a specific period, meaning after twelve hundred years, which is the time of the Mahdi’s appearance, the emergence of the Dajjal, the descent of Jesus (peace be upon him), and the succession of signs such as the sun rising from the west, the emergence of the Beast of the Earth, the appearance of Gog and Magog, and the like. (As stated in Al-Mirqat)

(۱) قوله: بعد المائتين : أي من الهجرة أو من دولة الإسلام أو من وفاته ، ويحتمل أن يكون اللام في المائتين للعهد أي بعد المائتين بعد الألف، وهو وقت ظهور المهدي وخروج الدجال ونزول عيسى ال وتتابع الآيات من طلوع الشمس من مغربها وخروج دابة الأرض وظهور يأجوج ومأجوج وأمثالها. كذا في «المرقاة».
