Mahmud ibn Ghaylan narrated to us: Abu Nu‘aym narrated to us: Sufyan narrated to us, from Salamah ibn Kuhayl, from Abu Idris al-Marhabi, from Muslim ibn Safwan, from Safiyyah, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, ‘People will not cease attacking this House until an army sets out. When they reach al-Bayda’, or a desert region called Bayda’, the earth will swallow the first of them and the last of them, and the middle of them will not be spared.’ I said, ‘Messenger of Allah, what of those among them who disliked the campaign?’ He replied, ‘Allah will raise them according to what was within themselves.’ Abu ‘Isa said: This is a hasan sahih hadith.
