Tawatur was reported on the subject by Sakhawi in Fath al-Mughith from Abu al-Husayn Al Abirri Al Sijistani's Sharh Al Risala, Manaqib Al Shafi`i, and Maghani Al Wafa bi Ma`ani Al Iktifa; also Abu Al`Ala' Idris ibn Muhammad ibn Idris Al Husayni Al Iraqi in his epistle on the topic; also Saffarayini in his Sharh `Aqidat Al Imam Ahmad; Ibn Khaldun said of the narrations that he was able to gather according to his competence, that the hadiths to that effect contain weaknesses, but it was replied to him that the narrations are too numerous not to reach the level of tawatur and they are in Ahmad, Tirmidhi, etc.... and cannot be denied; Shawkani in his epistle Al Tawdih fi Tawatur ma Ja'a fi Al Mahdi wa Al Dajjal wa Al Masih; Ibn Hajar Haytami in Al Sawwaiq al Muhriqa and Al Qawl Al Mukhtasar fi `Alamat Al Mahdi al Muntazar...
Kattani also says: "I have seen in our time many people expressing doubt about al-Mahdi, saying: 'Are the hadiths pertaining to him really decisive as evidence or not' and many of them choose to stand with Ibn Khaldun and rely on him, although he is not one of the experts in this field. And truth demands that we go back, in every discipline, to those that master it, and ironclad knowledge belongs to Allah Most High and Exalted."
