Kitab al-Fitan · Nu'aym ibn Hammad

فإذا بلغ السفياني الذي بمصر بعث جيشا إلى الذي بمكة، فيخربون المدينة أشد من الحرة حتى إذا بلغوا البيداء خسف بهم

When Al-Sufyani reached the one in Egypt, he would send an army to the one in Mecca, and they would destroy Medina more severely than Al-Harrah, until when they reached Al-Bayda, they would be eclipsed.

إذا بلغ السفياني قتل النفس الزكية، وهو الذي كتب عليه، فهرب عامة المسلمين من حرم رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم إلى حرم الله تعالى بمكة، فإذا بلغه ذلك بعث جندا إلى المدينة عليهم رجل من كلب، حتى إذا بلغوا البيداء خسف بهم، وينفلت أميرهم، وذكروا أنه من مذحج، وقال بعضهم: من كلب

If Al-Sufyani was informed of the killing of the pure soul, which is what was prescribed for him, then the majority of Muslims fled from the sanctuary of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to the sanctuary of Allah Almighty in Mecca. When he was informed of that, he sent an army to Medina with a man from a Kalb, with them at their command, until when they reached Al-Bayda, they were eclipsed and their leader escaped, and they mentioned that he was from Madhhij, and some of them said: from a Kalb.

لا يفلت منهم أحد إلا بشير ونذير، فأما البشير فإنه يأتي المهدي بمكة وأصحابه فيخبرهم بما كان من أمرهم، ويكون شاهد ذلك في وجهه قد حول وجهه في قفاه، فيصدقونه لما يرون من تحويل وجهه، ويعلمون أن القوم قد خسف بهم، والثاني مثل ذلك قد حول وجهه إلى قفاه، يأتي السفياني فيخبره بما أنزل بأصحابه فيصدقه ويعلم أنه حق لما يرى فيه من العلامة، وهما رجلان من كلب

No one escapes from them except a good tidings and a warner. As for the good tidings, he comes to the Mahdi in Mecca and his companions and informs them of what happened to them, and the witness of that is in his face with his face turned to his back, and they believe him when they see the turning of his face, and they know that the people have been eclipsed by them, and the second is like that, he has turned his face to his back. The Sufyani comes and tells him what was revealed to his companions and he believes it and knows that it is true because of the sign he sees in it, and they are two men of a dog.
