Sunan Ibn Majah 4063 (Book 36, Hadith 138) #33418
The Invading Army and the House of Allah

SUMMARY: This hadith speaks of an invading army that will come to the House of Allah and be swallowed up by the earth, leaving only one survivor.

Hafsah narrated that she heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: "An invading army will come towards this House until, when they are in Bayda’, the middle of them will be swallowed up by the earth, and the first of them will call out to the last of them, and they will be swallowed up, until there is no one left of them except a fugitive who will tell them of what happened to them". When the army of Hajjaj came, we thought that they were (the ones mentioned in this Hadith). A man said: "I bear witness that you did not attribute a lie to Hafsah and that Hafsah did not attribute a lie to the Prophet ﷺ".
حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عُمَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ، عَنْ أُمَيَّةَ بْنِ صَفْوَانَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ صَفْوَانَ، سَمِعَ جَدَّهُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ صَفْوَانَ، يَقُولُ أَخْبَرَتْنِي حَفْصَةُ، أَنَّهَا سَمِعَتْ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ـ ﷺ ـ يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ لَيَؤُمَّنَّ هَذَا الْبَيْتَ جَيْشٌ يَغْزُونَهُ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانُوا بِبَيْدَاءَ مِنَ الأَرْضِ خُسِفَ بِأَوْسَطِهِمْ وَيَتَنَادَى أَوَّلُهُمْ آخِرَهُمْ فَيُخْسَفُ بِهِمْ فَلاَ يَبْقَى مِنْهُمْ إِلاَّ الشَّرِيدُ الَّذِي يُخْبِرُ عَنْهُمْ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ فَلَمَّا جَاءَ جَيْشُ الْحَجَّاجِ ظَنَنَّا أَنَّهُمْ هُمْ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ أَشْهَدُ عَلَيْكَ أَنَّكَ لَمْ تَكْذِبْ عَلَى حَفْصَةَ وَ أَنَّ حَفْصَةَ لَمْ تَكْذِبْ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ـ ﷺ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith speaks about an invading army that will come to the House of Allah. It is said that when they reach Bayda, which is in the middle, they will be swallowed up by the earth until there is no one left except a single survivor who can tell them what happened. When Hajjaj's army came, people thought it was this same invading army mentioned in this hadith. A man then said he bore witness that Hafsah did not lie about what she heard from Prophet Muhammad regarding this incident. This hadith teaches us about how powerful God is and how He can protect His house from any harm or danger. It also shows us how important it is to always speak truthfully and never lie as lying has serious consequences for both individuals and society as a whole.
