Khasf al-Bayda (Arabic: خسف البیداء) (lit. Swallowing in the land of Bayda),[1][2] in Islamic eschatology, is an upcoming event in which the Earth will swallow the land Bayda which is a desert between Mecca and Medina. According to Islamic traditions: the army of Sufyani will be collapsed in the land of Bayda.[3][4][5][6]
Khasf al-Bayda event has been mentioned in both Shia and Sunni sources, and it was narrated that "Khasf al-Bayda" is going to be happened among the decisive Signs of the appearance of Mahdi.[7]
The certain signs[]
According to hadiths, there are five (or more) certain signs which will happen prior to the reappearance of the twelfth (last) Imam of Shia Islam, al-Mahdi.[8][9] Al-Shaykh al-Saduq has narrated --from Ja'far al-Sadiq-- that: five signs are decisive before the rising of Ghaem (قائم): Yamani, Sufyani, Heavenly cry (calling) from the sky, The murder of Nafs-e-Zakiyyah and Khasf-e-Bayda[10][11]
Swallowing of the army[]
Sufyani and his army will go towards Iraq to attack Mahdi. When the army will enter the territory of Bayda, the Earth will sunk the army of Sufyani except 2 or 3 individuals.[12] In regards to the event of Khasf-al-Bayda, there have been narrated diverse Hadiths concerning the numbers of the presented ones in the army of Sufyani.[13][14][15][16] Some sources say that the army of Sufyani will be 12,000;[17][18] while some say 170,000[19][20] and some sources say 300,000[21] will be the number of Sufyani's army.
According a tradition from, Muhammad al-Baqir: at the End Time, while Sufyani's army enters the territory of (al-) Bayda, a caller will call:
"O plain, annihilate the nation" (of the army of Sufyani)
