In his work “al-Cavab al-Mustaqim,” Muhyiddin Ibn’ Arabi responded a question put by Al-Haqim at-Tirmidhi in his “Hatm’al-awliya” by saying:
“He [Hazrat Mahdi (as)] is someone who acquires the truth and closely resembles his forefather [Muhammad (saas)]. HE DOES NOT SPEAK ARABIC VERY WELL, but he is no different to him in moral terms. HE WILL BE OF MEDIUM HEIGHT. THE AGE OF PROPERTY WILL COME TO AN END WITH HIM, AND SOVEREIGNTY WILL END WITH HIM..”
(Al-Javab al-Mustaqim amma Seele anhu at-Tirmidhi al-Haqim, Bayazid, no: 3750, sheet 242b)
