It has been about one thousand and two hundred years that, the book Sunan AbÄ« DÄwÅ«d was compiled.
And for many years, there has been a part named†KitÄb al-Mahdī’†in the fourth chapter of this book.
So all the people who have quoted contents from that part, would refer to the same [KitÄb al-MahdÄ«]…
But unfortunately when the book Sunan AbÄ« DÄwÅ«d was reprinted in 1408 (AH) in Egypt
, the name KitÄb al-MahdÄ« was changed into KitÄb al-HodÄ!!
For more information see the specialized and scientific quarterly IntiẓÄr Maw’Å«d, No.4
