It has been talked about Mahdi (AJ) in prophetic traditions a lot. Prophetic traditions are traditions that both Shia and Sunny certify. Because we try to explain Sunny's beliefs about Mahdi (AJ) in this section, we refer to traditions found in Sunny's authentic books so that his advent in traditions would be recognized.

 1-Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) said: "If it remains only one day to the end of the world, Allah will inspire a man of my family, who will make the world full of justice after it has become full of oppression."[Sahih Aboodavood, vol. 2, p.

208]  2-Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) said: "If it remains only one day to the end of the world, Allah will elongate that day until a man of my family whose name is the same as mine will be inspired, he will make the world full of justice after it ha become full of oppression." [Sahih al-Tirmidhi, vol. 5, p. 343]  3-Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) said: "Some time, the world will become full of oppression, and then a man of my family will appear .He will rule for seven or nine years and will make the world full of justice."[Mosnad Ahmad, vol.

3, p. 28]  4-Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) said: "Mahdi (AJ) is from my family and a son of my daughter, Fatimah (AS)" [al-Sava’egh, p.163 & Ebne Maje, vol. 2, p. 1368]  5-Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) said: "Mahdi (AJ) is from us, he has a long forehead and a knob on his nose. He will make the world full of justice after it has become full of oppression." [Sahih Aboodavood, vol. 2, p.

208]  6-Prophet Mohammad(PBUH) said: "I give you good tidings about Mahdi (AJ),he will be inspired in my community and make the world full of justice as it has become full of oppression, people will be satisfied with him, and will divide all properties equally between all people. Allah will make people free from want and justice will be everywhere."[Mosnad Ahmad, vol. 3, p. 37]

7-Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) said: "Actually, Ali-Bin-Abitaleb (A.S) is the leader of my community and my successor. Mahdi (AJ) is of his sons, by which Allah will make the world full of justice after it has become full of oppression. I swear to Allah, who has delegated me, people who abide by his Imamat during his occultation are rare such as red Sulphur." [Hamvaini in Fara’ed al-Samtain, vol. 2]  8-Abd al-rahman al-Soyooti, one of the sunny's great clergies has written in his book that Prophet Mohammad (PBUH) said: "Anyone who denies the appearance of Mahdi (AJ),has become pagan.

 9-Ibne Hejr Haithami Shafei has written in his book, Savaegh: "Ab al-Ghasim, Prophet Mohammad, al-Hodjat, his age is five when his father dies. Allah has given knowledge at that time. He is called "Ghaem al-Montazar", he is the savior of this community and Jesus will say prayers with him. [P. 164]
