According to Islamic traditions: the army of Sufyani will be swallowed up in the land of Bayda.[5][6][7][8]

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.[10][11] Al-Shaykh al-Saduq has narrated --from Ja'far al-Sadiq-- that: five signs are decisive before the rising of Qa'im (قائم): Yamani, Sufyani, Heavenly cry (calling) from the sky, The murder of Nafs-e-Zakiyyah and Khasf al-Bayda.[12][13]
Swallowing of the army
Sufyani and his army will go toward Iraq to attack the Mahdi. When the army enters the territory of Bayda, the Earth will consume the army of Sufyani except for 2 or 3 individuals.[14] Various hadiths discuss the numbers in the army of Sufyani.[15][16][17][18] Some sources say that the army of Sufyani will number 12,000;[19][20] while some say 170,000[21][22] and other sources say 300,000[23]
According a tradition from Muhammad al-Baqir: at the End Time, when Sufyani's army enters the territory of Bayda, a voice will call out:
"O plain, annihilate the nation" (i.e. the army of Sufyani)
