فَبَيْنَا هُمْ كَذَلِكَ إِذْ أَقْبَلَتْ رَايَاتٌ مِنْ قِبَلِ خُرَاسَانَ تَطْوِي الْمَنَازِلَ طَيّاً حَثِيثاً وَ مَعَهُمْ نَفَرٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ الْقَائِمِ ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ مَوَالِي أَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ فِي ضُعَفَاءَ فَيَقْتُلُهُ أَمِيرُ جَيْشِ السُّفْيَانِيِّ بَيْنَ الْحِيرَةِ وَ الْكُوفَةِ While they would be like that when flags would come from the direction of Khurasan folding the dwellings relentlessly, and with them would be a number of companions of Al-Qaim -ajfj .
Then a man from the slave of the people of Al-Kufa would rebel from the weak ones, so the commander of the army of Al-Sufyan would kill him between Al-Hira and Al-Kufa.
وَ يَبْعَثُ السُّفْيَانِيُّ بَعْثاً إِلَى الْمَدِينَةِ فَيَنْفِرُ الْمَهْدِيُّ مِنْهَا إِلَى مَكَّةَ فَيَبْلُغُ أَمِيرَ جَيْشِ السُّفْيَانِيِّ أَنَّ الْمَهْدِيَّ قَدْ خَرَجَ إِلَى مَكَّةَ فَيَبْعَثُ جَيْشاً عَلَى أَثَرِهِ فَلَا يُدْرِكُهُ حَتَّى يَدْخُلَ مَكَّةَ خائِفاً يَتَرَقَّبُ عَلَى سُنَّةِ مُوسَى بْنِ عِمْرَانَ And Al-Sufyani would send a detachment to Al-Medina, so Al-Mahdi -ajfj would flee from it to Makkah.
It will reach the commander of the army of Al-Sufyani that Al-Mahdi -ajfj has gone out to Makkah, so he would send an army upon his -ajfj tracks. But he will not come across him -ajfj until he -ajfj enters Makkah fearful, watchful, being upon the Sunnah of Musa -as Bin Imran -as ’.
قَالَ وَ يَنْزِلُ أَمِيرُ جَيْشِ السُّفْيَانِيِّ الْبَيْدَاءَ فَيُنَادِي مُنَادٍ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ يَا بَيْدَاءُ أَبِيدِي الْقَوْمَ فَيُخْسَفُ بِهِمْ فَلَا يُفْلِتُ مِنْهُمْ إِلَّا ثَلَاثَةُ نَفَرٍ يُحَوِّلُ اللَّهُ وُجُوهَهُمْ إِلَى أَقْفِيَتِهِمْ وَ هُمْ مِنْ كَلْبٍ وَ فِيهِمْ نَزَلَتْ هَذِهِ الْآيَةُ يا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ أُوتُوا الْكِتابَ آمِنُوا بِما نَزَّلْنا مُصَدِّقاً لِما مَعَكُمْ مِنْ قَبْلِ أَنْ نَطْمِسَ وُجُوهاً فَنَرُدَّها عَلى أَدْبارِها الْآيَةَ He -asws said: ‘And the commander of the army of Al-Sufyani will descend at Al-Bayda.
A caller would call out from the sky: ‘O Bayda, destroy the people!’ So, it would submerge with them. No one from them would escape except for three persons. Allah -azwj would overturn their faces to their backs, and they would be from (clan of) Kalb. And regarding them, this Verse was Revealed: O you who have been Given the Book! Believe in what We Revealed, Verifying what is with you from before We Alter faces then turn them on their backs, [4:47] – the Verse’.
