حَدَّثَنَا
عَمْرٌو النَّاقِدُ ،
وَابْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ وَاللَّفْظُ لِعَمْرٍو ، قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا
سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ ، عَنْ
أُمَيَّةَ بْنِ صَفْوَانَ ، سَمِعَ جَدَّهُ
عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ صَفْوَانَ ، يَقُولُ : أَخْبَرَتْنِي
حَفْصَةُ ، أَنَّهَا سَمِعَتِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " لَيَؤُمَّنَّ هَذَا الْبَيْتَ جَيْشٌ يَغْزُونَهُ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانُوا بِبَيْدَاءَ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ يُخْسَفُ بِأَوْسَطِهِمْ ، وَيُنَادِي أَوَّلُهُمْ آخِرَهُمْ ثُمَّ يُخْسَفُ بِهِمْ ، فَلَا يَبْقَى إِلَّا الشَّرِيدُ الَّذِي يُخْبِرُ عَنْهُمْ " ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ : أَشْهَدُ عَلَيْكَ أَنَّكَ لَمْ تَكْذِبْ عَلَى حَفْصَةَ ، وَأَشْهَدُ عَلَى حَفْصَةَ أَنَّهَا لَمْ تَكْذِبْ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ .
'Abdullah bin Safwan reported that Hafsa told him that she had heard Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) as saying: An army would attack this House in order to fight against the inhabitants of this House and when it would be at the plain ground the ranks in the centre of the army would be sunk and the vanguard would call the rear flanks of the army and they would also be sunk and no flank would be left except some people who would go to inform them (their kith and kin). A person (who had been listening to this hadith from 'Abdullah bin Safwan) said: I bear testimony in regard to you that you are not imputing a lie to Hafsa. And I bear testimony to the fact that Hafsa is not telling a lie about Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) .
'Abdullah bin Safwan reported the Mother of the Faithful as saying that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: They would soon seek protection in this House, viz. Ka’bah (the defenceless), people who would have nothing to protect themselves in the shape of weapons or the strength of the people. An army would be sent to fight (and kill) them and when they would enter a plain ground the army would be sunk in it. Yusuf (one of the narrators) said: It was a people of Syria (hordes of Hajjaj) who had been on that day coming towards Makkah for an attack (on 'Abdulllah bin Zubair) and 'Abdullah bin Safwan said: By God, it does not imply this army.

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.
