Narrated from Sayyida Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her), she says: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) was sleeping when he suddenly began to smile in his sleep. When he woke up, I asked: O Messenger of Allah! Why were you smiling? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Some people from my Ummah will intend to attack this House of Allah (the Ka'bah), their target will be that Qurayshi man who will have taken refuge in the Haram. When these people reach the place of Bayda, all of them will be swallowed up, but (on the Day of Resurrection) their places of emergence will be different, Allah the Exalted will resurrect them according to their intentions. I said: Allah the Exalted will raise them according to their intentions and their places of emergence will be different, how will that be? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The matter is that these people will have gathered on one path, otherwise among them will be some with insight, some travelers, and some compelled, but all will perish in one place of destruction and will emerge from different places.

Brief Explanation
Benefits: … By "traveler" (musafir) is meant a person who is not a part of that army, but is merely passing through there, or is walking along with them due to sharing the same route.
From this hadith, it is understood that one should keep away from the gatherings of oppressors, rebels, and misguided people, so that one may remain safe from their evil influence. However, it is permissible to go to them for the purpose of conveying the religion (tabligh) or in case of some severe necessity, but after the objective has been fulfilled, one should return.
