- .... Al-Hakim narrated and confirmed it, and al-Bayhaqi and Abu Nu'aym also narrated from Hudhayfa that he was asked: "Tell us what you heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him and his holy progeny)." He said: "If I did, you would stone me." We said, "Glory be to Allah!" He replied, "If I were to tell you that some of your mothers would lead an army against you in a battalion, striking you with the sword, you would not believe me." They said, "Glory be to Allah! Who would believe you in this?" He said:
"The red one will come to you in a battalion, driving its unruly ones." Al-Bayhaqi stated that Hudhayfa was informed of this and died before the expedition of Aisha.
