Kitab al-Fitan of Nu'aym ibn Hammad: ungraded, and weak overall. Never established on its own.

حدثنا ابن وهب، عن يزيد بن عياض، عن عاصم بن عمر بن قتادة، عن عبد الرحمن بن موسى، عن عبد الله بن صفوان، عن حفصة، زوج النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم رضي الله عنها قالت: سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول: «يأتي جيش من قبل المغرب يريدون هذا البيت، حتى إذا كانوا بالبيداء خسف بهم، فيرجع من كان أمامهم لينظر ما فعل القوم، فيصيبهم ما أصابهم، ويلحق بهم من خلفهم لينظر ما فعلوه فيصيبهم ما أصابهم، فمن كان مستكرها أصابهم ما أصابهم، ثم يبعث الله تعالى كل امرئ منهم على نيته»

An army comes from the west, seeking this house, until when they are in Al-Bayda, it eclipses them, and whoever was in front of them returns to see what the people did, and what befell them will happen to them, and he follows them behind them to see what they did, and what befell them will befall them. Whoever was hiding it will be hit by what befell them, then Allah Almighty will resurrect each one of them according to his intention.

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #936 in Kitab al-Fitan (Nu'aym ibn Hammad).

[Scholarly Verification Notice]: Recorded in Nu'aym ibn Hammad's Kitab al-Fitan (d. 228 AH). Hadith scholars classify this historical compilation as ungraded and weak overall; its isolated reports are not accepted as established doctrine unless corroborated by standard Sahih works.

[Core Subject]: Three great collapses of the earth (khusuf): one in the east, one in the west, and one in the Arabian Peninsula. Whole areas will sink into the ground.

[Described Characteristics]: The narration names them as three of the ten great signs and gives no further detail. A separate sahih narration describes an army that marches to attack the Ka'bah and is swallowed by the earth in a desert plain (al-Bayda').

[Timeline & Context]: They are among the ten great signs, which come close together near the end.

[Prophetic Practice]: When the Prophet ﷺ saw a strong wind or dark cloud, his face changed and he turned to Allah in dua until it passed.

[Core Subject]: An army that marches to attack one seeking refuge at the Kaaba will be swallowed by the earth at al-Bayda, between Mecca and Medina.

[Described Characteristics]: A'ishah narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said an army would come against the House (the Kaaba), and when they were at a level stretch of land (al-Bayda) they would be swallowed, the first of them and the last; she asked how those forced along without their will would fare, and he said they would be swallowed with them but raised according to their intentions (Sahih Muslim 2884; cf. Abu Dawud 4286).

[Timeline & Context]: Reported among the events of the end of time, in several narrations tied to the era of the Mahdi; scholars set no date.

[Prophetic Practice]: Guard your intentions and the company you march with; a person is gathered on the Day of Resurrection according to what was in the heart.
