The "Mahdi" -means the guided one- is a concept that is the newborn of Sunni & Shia faith; some Islamic sects are built upon it -like the Shia twelver sect-; but that doesn't make it something more than an eschatology Hadith; with so many tribal dejavus.
The mahdi's own sign of recognition is very tribal; he is supposed to be a decendent from the family of the prophet, he must have a specific name too: Mohammed, the son of Abdullah; and a family tree that goes up until Ali & Fatima's 2 kids: Hassan and Hussain. Sunnies say he must belong to Hassan, Shia say Hussain is the right pick..
Wahabbies in Saudi Arabia kept the people drunk in end of times Hadiths; along with the bigotry of the ruling clan, invading the holy mosque was so convincing to these fanatics.
Until this day, ISIS and so many Jihadists carry this idea. Shia too, more extremly since their faith is literally evolved about this upcoming even where Madi comes to earth and spill rivers of blood.
Too many copy cats showed up through history too, claiming to be the one..
But his stories are found in nowhere, but the Hadiths.
