Regarding the issue of Imam Al-Mahdi, there is a suspicion.

As for Muhammad bin Saad bin Al-Qahtani, his age is 25 years, and I will not need to verify this with more than the testimony of his brother Saeed bin Saad bin Al-Qahtani, who appeared on television in the news. He is not interested in knowing the picture of his brother Muhammad bin Saad bin Al-Qahtani, as they asked him if he was his full brother or his half-brother? He said he was his full brother, and his age is 29 years, while Muhammad is 25 years old. And his brother is older than him! And seeing him on television in the news with certainty and clarity made me doubt, and it was narrated about Saeed bin Saad bin Al-Qahtani in the same issue. His age is twenty-two years; the trace indicates that he was not twenty years old; as the Arabs, when they mention the number, they leave it. The scholars criticized the mixing of the two, as mixing the two is something agreed upon among the scholars. What about mixing the two? Even in Sahih Al-Bukhari, in the Hadith of Al-Ifk, Al-Zuhri said: From Urwah bin Al-Zubayr, Saeed bin Al-Musayyib, Uqbah bin Al-Walid Al-Wathi, and Ayad bin Saad bin bin Ata' from Aisha, may God be pleased with her, the wife of the Prophet, peace be upon him, she said: "As for Al-Ifk, what they said, and it was a slander against me." Al-Zuhri said: "And a group of them narrated to me from her Hadith, and some of it is more comprehensive than others, and he confirmed it for me. I memorized from each of them the Hadith that he narrated to me from Aisha and from her Hadith, some of it." The narrator said: (So Al-Zuhri's compilation of Hadith is confirmed, and he is rewarded for it). The Nawawi said: (This that Al-Zuhri mentioned of his compilation of Hadith is rewarded for it, and it is permissible for him and he is rewarded for it). Al-Nawawi and the scholars of jurisprudence reconciled between the narrations of remembrance and litanies. And this is the custom of Al-Mundhiri and Al-Rattibi and Al-Rattibi; he said about him: Al-Alai said: (Al-Rattibi's compilation is from the author's reconciliation between narrations, and it is his custom in it).
