The Prophet ﷺ said: Disagreement will occur at the death of a caliph and a man of the people of Medina will come flying forth to Mecca. Some of the people of Mecca will come to him, bring him out against his will and swear allegiance to him between the Corner and the Maqam. An expeditionary force will then be sent against him from Syria but will be swallowed up in the desert between Mecca and Medina. When the people see that, the eminent saints of Syria and the best people of Iraq will come to him and swear allegiance to him between the Corner and the Maqam. Then there will arise a man of Quraysh whose maternal uncles belong to Kalb and send against them an expeditionary force which will be overcome by them, and that is the expedition of Kalb. Disappointed will be the one who does not receive the booty of Kalb. He will divide the property, and will govern the people by the Sunnah of their Prophet ﷺ and establish Islam on Earth. He will remain seven years, then die, and the Muslims will pray over him. Abu Dawud said: Some transmitted from Hisham "nine years" and some "seven years".  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ يَكُونُ اخْتِلاَفٌ عِنْدَ مَوْتِ خَلِيفَةٍ فَيَخْرُجُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ هَارِبًا إِلَى مَكَّةَ فَيَأْتِيهِ نَاسٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ فَيُخْرِجُونَهُ وَهُوَ كَارِهٌ فَيُبَايِعُونَهُ بَيْنَ الرُّكْنِ وَالْمَقَامِ وَيُبْعَثُ إِلَيْهِ بَعْثٌ مِنَ الشَّامِ فَيُخْسَفُ بِهِمْ بِالْبَيْدَاءِ بَيْنَ مَكَّةَ وَالْمَدِينَةِ فَإِذَا رَأَى النَّاسُ ذَلِكَ أَتَاهُ أَبْدَالُ الشَّامِ وَعَصَائِبُ أَهْلِ الْعِرَاقِ فَيُبَايِعُونَهُ بَيْنَ الرُّكْنِ وَالْمَقَامِ ثُمَّ يَنْشَأُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ أَخْوَالُهُ كَلْبٌ فَيَبْعَثُ إِلَيْهِمْ بَعْثًا فَيَظْهَرُونَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَذَلِكَ بَعْثُ كَلْبٍ وَالْخَيْبَةُ لِمَنْ لَمْ يَشْهَدْ غَنِيمَةَ كَلْبٍ فَيَقْسِمُ الْمَالَ وَيَعْمَلُ فِي النَّاسِ بِسُنَّةِ نَبِيِّهِمْ ﷺ وَيُلْقِي الإِسْلاَمُ بِجِرَانِهِ إِلَى الأَرْضِ فَيَلْبَثُ سَبْعَ سِنِينَ ثُمَّ يُتَوَفَّى وَيُصَلِّي عَلَيْهِ الْمُسْلِمُونَ  

How will a man who comes against his will (be swallowed up by the earth), Messenger of Allah ? He replied: All will be swallowed up, but each will be raised according to his intention on the Day of Resurrection.  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ بِقِصَّةِ جَيْشِ الْخَسْفِ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ فَكَيْفَ بِمَنْ كَانَ كَارِهًا قَالَ يُخْسَفُ بِهِمْ وَلَكِنْ يُبْعَثُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ عَلَى نِيَّتِهِ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ يَكُونُ اخْتِلَافٌ عِنْدَ مَوْتِ خَلِيفَةٍ فَيَخْرُجُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ هَارِبًا إِلَى مَكَّةَ فَيَأْتِيهِ نَاسٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ فَيُخْرِجُونَهُ وَهُوَ كَارِهٌ فَيُبَايِعُونَهُ بَيْنَ الرُّكْنِ وَالْمَقَامِ فَيُبْعَثُ إِلَيْهِمْ جَيْشٌ مِنَ الشَّامِ فَيُخْسَفُ بِهِمْ بِالْبَيْدَاءِ فَإِذَا رَأَى النَّاسُ ذَلِكَ أَتَتْهُ أَبْدَالُ الشَّامِ وَعَصَائِبُ الْعِرَاقِ فَيُبَايِعُونَهُ ثُمَّ يَنْشَأُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ أَخْوَالُهُ كَلْبٌ فَيَبْعَثُ إِلَيْهِ الْمَكِّيُّ بَعْثًا فَيَظْهَرُونَ عَلَيْهِمْ وَذَلِكَ بَعْثُ كَلْبٍ وَالْخَيْبَةُ لِمَنْ لَمْ يَشْهَدْ غَنِيمَةَ كَلْبٍ فَيَقْسِمُ الْمَالَ وَيُعْمِلُ فِي النَّاسِ سُنَّةَ نَبِيِّهِمْ ﷺ وَيُلْقِي الْإِسْلَامُ بِجِرَانِهِ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ يَمْكُثُ تِسْعَسِنِينَ قَالَ حَرَمِيٌّ أَوْ سَبْعَ  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "There will be disagreement upon the death of a Caliph, and a man from the Quraysh, from the people of Madinah, will come out to Makkah. People from Makkah will come to him and forcibly remove him, while he is reluctant. Then they will pledge allegiance to him between the corner of the Kaaba and the Station of Ibrahim. They will send an army from the people of Sham (Greater Syria) against him. When they reach the barren land, they will be swallowed by the earth. When the people learn about this, the people of Sham and a group from the people of Iraq will come to him and pledge allegiance to him. Then a man from the Quraysh, whose paternal relatives belong to the Kalb tribe, will send an army against them and defeat them. Then Islam will appear victorious and he will distribute among the people. He will remain for seven years."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «يَكُونُ اخْتِلَافٌ عِنْدَ مَوْتِ خَلِيفَةٍ فَيَخْرُجُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْمَدِينَةِ إِلَى مَكَّةَ فَيَأْتِيهِ نَاسٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ مَكَّةَ فَيُخْرِجُونَهُ وَهُوَ كَارِهٌ فَيُبَايعُونَهُ بَيْنَ الرُّكْنِ وَالْمَقَامِ فَيَبْعَثُونَ إِلَيْهِ جَيْشًا مِنْ أَهْلِ الشَّامِ فَإِذَا كَانُوا بِالْبَيْدَاءِ خُسِفَ بِهِمْ فَإِذَا بَلَغَ النَّاسَ ذَلِكَ أَتَاهُ أَبْدَالُ أَهْلِ الشَّامِ وَعِصَابَةُ أَهْلِ الْعِرَاقِ فَيُبَايعُونَهُ وَيَنْشَأُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ قُرَيْشٍ أَخْوَالُهُ مِنْ كَلْبٍ فَيَبْعَثُ إِلَيْهِمْ جَيْشًا فَيَهْزِمُونَهُمْ وَيَظْهَرُونَ عَلَيْهِمْ فَيَقْسِمُ بَيْنَ النَّاسِ فَيْأَهُمْ وَيَعْمَلُ فِيهِمْ بِسُنَّةِ نَبِيِّهِمْ ﷺ وَيُلْقِي الْإِسْلَامُ بِجِرَانِهِ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ يَمْكُثُ سَبْعَ سِنِينَ» *  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There will be disputes upon the death of a caliph, and a man from the Banu Hashim tribe will come out from Madinah to Mecca. People will come to him and pledge allegiance to him between the corner and the Maqam (in Mecca), although he will not be willing. He will prepare an army from Sham (Greater Syria) until they reach the open desert, where they will be swallowed by the earth. Then, the battalions of the people of Iraq and the replacements from Sham will come to him, and a man from Sham will gather his relatives. He will prepare an army against them, but Allah will defeat them, and the circle (of power) will be around them. This will be the Day of Kalb (the tribe). Those who fail from the spoils of war of Kalb will be disappointed, and he will unearth treasures and distribute wealth. Islam will be thrown down by him to the ground and live like that for seven or six years." Ubaidullah said: "So, I reported it to Laith, and he said: Mujaheed narrated it to me."  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «يَكُونُ اخْتِلَافٌ عِنْدَ مَوْتِ خَلِيفَةٍ فَيَخْرُجُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَنِي هَاشِمٍ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ إِلَى مَكَّةَ فَيَجِيئُهُ نَاسٌ فَيُبَايِعُونَهُ بَيْنَ الرُّكْنِ وَالْمَقَامِ وَهُوَ كَارِهٌ فَيُجَهَّزُ لَهُمْ جَيْشًا مِنَ الشَّامِ حَتَّى إِذَا كَانُوا بِالْبَيْدَاءِ خُسِفَ بِهِمْ فَيَأْتِيهِمْ عَصَائِبُ أَهْلِ الْعِرَاقِ وَأَبْدَالُ الشَّامِ وَيَنْشُو رَجُلٌ بِالشَّامِ أَخْوَالُهُ كَلْبٌ فَيُجَهِّزُ إِلَيْهِمْ جَيْشًا فَيَهْزِمُهُمُ اللهُ وَتَكُونُ الدَّائِرَةُ عَلَيْهِمْ وَذَلِكَ يَوْمُ كَلْبٍ وَالْخَائِبُ مَنْ خَابَ مِنْ غَنِيمَةِ كَلْبٍ وَيَسْتَخْرِجُ الْكُنُوزَ وَيَقْسِمُ الْأَمْوَالَ وَيُلْقَى الْإِسْلَامُ بِجِرَابِهِ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ يَعِيشُ فِي ذَلِكَ سَبْعَ سِنِينَ أَوْ سِتَّ سِنِينَ» قَالَ عُبَيْدُ اللهِ فَحَدَّثْتُ بِهِ لَيْثًا فَقَالَ حَدَّثَنِيهِ مُجَاهِدٌ
