It is narrated from Sayyida Umm Salama (may Allah be pleased with her): Once, the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) was lying in my house, when suddenly he quickly sat up and began to recite: "Indeed, to Allah we belong and to Him we shall return." I said: O Messenger of Allah! May my parents be sacrificed for you, what has happened that you are reciting "Indeed, to Allah we belong and to Him we shall return"? He replied: A group from my Ummah will come from the direction of Syria; they will come to confront a man who will be protected by Allah Almighty. When this group reaches the plain of Bayda near Dhul-Hulaifa, all the people included in it will be swallowed up by the earth, but their resurrection from the earth will be in different ways. I said: O Messenger of Allah! How will it be that all the people will be swallowed up, but their resurrection from the earth will be different from each other? He replied: Among them will be some people who will have been compelled, among them will be some people who will have been compelled. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him and his family) repeated this sentence three times.

It is narrated from Sayyida Hafsa (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: An army will set out with the intention of attacking the House of Allah (the Ka'bah). When they reach the place of Bayda, those in the middle of them will be swallowed up by the earth, and the first and last of them will begin to call out to each other, but none will be saved except for one wanderer, who will inform others about those who were swallowed up. One narrator said: By Allah! I have not lied against Sayyida Hafsa (may Allah be pleased with her), and she did not lie against the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).

It is narrated from Sayyida Hafsa bint Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "An army will come from the east, intending to attack a man in Makkah. When they reach the place of Bayda, they will be swallowed up by the earth. Those who had gone ahead will turn back to see what happened to those behind, and they too will be caught in the same calamity. I (Hafsa) said: O Messenger of Allah! What will happen to those among them who were brought by force? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: They will all be swallowed up, then Allah, the Exalted, will resurrect each one according to his intention."

Umm al-Mu'mineen Sayyidah Safiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: People will not cease attacking this House of Allah, until an army sets out with this intention. But when they reach the place of Bayda, the first of them and the last of them, all will be swallowed up by the earth, and those in between will not be saved either. Sayyidah Safiyyah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: O Messenger of Allah! What is your opinion about those people who will be there by compulsion? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Allah will resurrect them according to the intentions in their hearts.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Nafi’ bin ‘Utbah (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I participated in a battle with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Some people came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) from the western region; they were wearing woolen clothes. They met the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) near a mound; they were standing and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was sitting. I also came and stood between the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and them, and I remembered four things from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him); now I can count them on my hand. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: You will fight the inhabitants of the Arabian Peninsula, Allah Almighty will grant victory; then you will fight the Persians, that too will be conquered; then you will fight the Romans, Allah Almighty will grant victory; and then you will fight the Dajjal, and Allah Almighty will grant you victory over him as well.

2. (Second chain) It is narrated from Sayyiduna Nafi' bin 'Utbah (may Allah be pleased with him) in the same manner as the previous chain.

(Third chain) A similar hadith is narrated from Sayyiduna Nafi' bin Utbah bin Abi Waqqas, except that in it: Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The Dajjal will not appear until Rome is conquered.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Samurah bin Jundub (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Soon Allah Almighty will fill your hands with the non-Arabs, but after that a time will come when they will become lions, they will kill your warriors and consume the wealth you have left behind.

It is narrated from a Companion of the Prophet, Sayyiduna Dhi Mikhmar (may Allah be pleased with him), that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Soon the Romans will make a peace treaty with you in safety. Then you and they will together fight a common enemy. You will be helped, you will remain safe, and you will obtain spoils of war. But when you camp at a place with green, grassy hills, at that time a Christian man will raise the cross and say, 'The cross has prevailed.' Hearing this, a Muslim will be stirred by zeal and will get up and break that cross. At this point, the Romans will break their treaty with you and will gather for a fierce battle."

(Second chain) It is narrated from Sayyiduna Dhi Makhmar (may Allah be pleased with him), who was an Abyssinian man and used to serve the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: You people will indeed make a peace treaty with the Romans, then you will fight together against another enemy and you will remain safe and will also obtain spoils of war. It is mentioned similar to the previous hadith, except that in this one it is stated: A Muslim will stand up and go towards them and kill one of them, at that moment the Romans will break the treaty and then fierce battles will be fought, they will gather together in the form of an army consisting of eighty (80) banners, and under each banner there will be ten thousand men.
