حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، وَأَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَاللَّفْظُ لِقُتَيْبَةَ ، قَالَ إِسْحَاقُ : أَخْبَرَنَا وقَالَ الْآخَرَانِ : حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ بْنِ رُفَيْعٍ ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ ابْنِ الْقِبْطِيَّةِ ، قَالَ : دَخَلَ الْحَارِثُ بْنُ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ ، وَعَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ صَفْوَانَ ، وَأَنَا مَعَهُمَا عَلَى أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ أُمِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ، فَسَأَلَاهَا عَنِ الْجَيْشِ الَّذِي يُخْسَفُ بِهِ ، وَكَانَ ذَلِكَ فِي أَيَّامِ ابْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ ، فَقَالت : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " يَعُوذُ عَائِذٌ بِالْبَيْتِ فَيُبْعَثُ إِلَيْهِ بَعْثٌ ، فَإِذَا كَانُوا بِبَيْدَاءَ مِنَ الْأَرْضِ خُسِفَ بِهِمْ " ، فَقُلْتُ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، فَكَيْفَ بِمَنْ كَانَ كَارِهًا ؟ ، قَالَ : يُخْسَفُ بِهِ مَعَهُمْ ، وَلَكِنَّهُ يُبْعَثُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ عَلَى نِيَّتِهِ " ، وَقَالَ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ : هِيَ بَيْدَاءُ الْمَدِينَةِ ،
Harith b Abi Rabi'ah and 'Abdullah bin Safwan both went to Umm Salamah, the Mother of the Faithful, and they asked her about the army which would be sunk in the earth, and this relates to the time when Ibn Zubair (was the governor of Makkah). She reported that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) had said that a seeker of refuge would seek refuge in the Sacred House and an army would be sent to him (in order to kill him) and when it would enter a plain ground, it would be made to sink. I said: Allah's Messenger, what about who was forced to join them?? Thereupon he said: He would be made to sink along with them but he would be raised on the Day of Resurrection on the basis of his intention. Abu Ja'far said. 'This plain ground means the plain ground of Madinah.

Benefits and Issues:
➊ When the punishment of Allah the Exalted comes in a general manner, it encompasses everyone; however, the case of the Prophets and Messengers (alayhim as-salam) and their followers is, as a miracle, an exception to this generality.

➋ Iḍṭirār wa karāhah, that is, a person being extremely compelled to perform an undesirable act—


In the Shariah, this is a valid excuse, the benefit of which, if not attained in this world, will surely be granted on the Day of Judgment, insha’Allah.

➌ And the acceptance of deeds depends upon intentions.

Benefits and Issues:
➊ Upon committing a major crime, sometimes Allah’s punishment seizes the criminals even in this world.

➋ Those who accompany the criminals also get caught up in the punishment.

➌ On the Day of Resurrection, only the criminals will be punished—whether they are the ones who committed the crime, those who assisted them in any way, those who considered their crime insignificant and did not try to stop them, or those who did not harbor aversion to their crime.
