Sayyiduna Anas bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: In the time of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) it was reported that some place in the direction of the east had sunk into the earth. A man said: O Messenger of Allah! A land has sunk in which there were also Muslims? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Yes! That happens when most of the people living there are steeped in wickedness."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Saghir and al-Mu'jam al-Awsat, and its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih.
