It is narrated from Sayyidah Buqayrah (may Allah be pleased with her), the wife of Sayyiduna al-Qa'qa' bin Abi Hadrad al-Aslami (may Allah be pleased with him), that she heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), seated on the pulpit, say: "O people! When you hear the news that an army has been swallowed up by the earth somewhere nearby, then (know that) the Hour has certainly come upon you (or has cast its shadow over you)."
Takhrij: This hadith is found in Musnad al-Humaydi (4501) and Musnad Ahmad (27103); al-Haythami declared its narrators thiqat (trustworthy) in Majma' al-Zawa'id, and its chain is of the hasan (good) grade.
