Question:
Is Imam Mahdi’s title ‘Sahib Zaman’ related to the Hadith 4282 in volume 4 Sunan Abi Dawud, which states that if only one day is left of this world, Allah would lengthen that day, until He sent Mahdi A.S.?
Answer:
The hadith in question denotes the certainty of the appearance of the Mahdi, while the moniker in question refers to the fact that the Mahdi will be empowered in a miraculous way in his time, and Allah knows best.
