حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَاتِمِ بْنِ مَيْمُونٍ حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو حَدَّثَنَا زَيْدُ بْنُ أَبِي أُنَيْسَةَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِکِ الْعَامِرِيِّ عَنْ يُوسُفَ بْنِ مَاهَکَ أَخْبَرَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ صَفْوَانَ عَنْ أُمِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ سَيَعُوذُ بِهَذَا الْبَيْتِ يَعْنِي الْکَعْبَةَ قَوْمٌ لَيْسَتْ لَهُمْ مَنَعَةٌ وَلَا عَدَدٌ وَلَا عُدَّةٌ يُبْعَثُ إِلَيْهِمْ جَيْشٌ حَتَّی إِذَا کَانُوا بِبَيْدَائَ مِنْ الْأَرْضِ خُسِفَ بِهِمْ قَالَ يُوسُفُ وَأَهْلُ الشَّأْمِ يَوْمَئِذٍ يَسِيرُونَ إِلَی مَکَّةَ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ صَفْوَانَ أَمَا وَاللَّهِ مَا هُوَ بِهَذَا الْجَيْشِ قَالَ زَيْدٌ وَحَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ الْمَلِکِ الْعَامِرِيُّ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ سَابِطٍ عَنْ الْحَارِثِ بْنِ أَبِي رَبِيعَةَ عَنْ أُمِّ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ بِمِثْلِ حَدِيثِ يُوسُفَ بْنِ مَاهَکَ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ لَمْ يَذْکُرْ فِيهِ الْجَيْشَ الَّذِي ذَکَرَهُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ صَفْوَانَ
صحیح مسلم · Hadith 7243
Abdullah b. Safwan reported the Mother of the Faithful as saying that Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said: They would soon seek protection in this House, viz. Ka'ba (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 Mecca for an attack (on 'Abdulllah b. Zubair) and Abdullah b. Safwan said: By God, it does not imply this army.
