حَدَّثَنَا
هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ , 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 صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , يَقُولُ : " لَيَؤُمَّنَّ هَذَا الْبَيْتَ جَيْشٌ يَغْزُونَهُ , حَتَّى إِذَا كَانُوا بِبَيْدَاءَ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ , خُسِفَ بِأَوْسَطِهِمْ , وَيَتَنَادَى أَوَّلُهُمْ آخِرَهُمْ فَيُخْسَفُ بِهِمْ , فَلَا يَبْقَى مِنْهُمْ إِلَّا الشَّرِيدُ الَّذِي يُخْبِرُ عَنْهُمْ " , فَلَمَّا جَاءَ جَيْشُ الْحَجَّاجِ , ظَنَنَّا أَنَّهُمْ هُمْ , فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ : أَشْهَدُ عَلَيْكَ أَنَّكَ لَمْ تَكْذِبْ عَلَى حَفْصَةَ , وَأَنَّ حَفْصَةَ لَمْ تَكْذِبْ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ .
´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).”

Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
(1) "Even those in the middle will not be saved." That is, by 'the first and the last' is meant all of them, not just the two ends.
(2) "It will become a graveyard." That is, the believers too will perish, but they will not be punished, and on the Day of Resurrection they will also be separated from the disbelievers outwardly.
(3) This narration is authentic on the basis of corroborating reports, as the researcher of the book has also declared its chain weak but further written that the forthcoming narration suffices for this.

Hafiz Muhammad Ameen
It is as if Allah Ta'ala will continue to uphold the sanctity of the Haram, and God forbid, when the sanctity of the House of Allah (Baytullah) is no longer maintained, then the world itself will also be brought to an end.

Benefit:
The responsibility for the protection of the House of Allah (Baytullah) has been taken by Allah Himself. Near the Day of Judgment, the House of Allah will become desolate, and in the end, it will be demolished, and this will be among the major signs of the Day of Judgment.
