Kitab al-Fitan · Nu'aym ibn Hammad

Al-Sufyani writes to the one who entered Kufa with his horse after it had been traversed by the battle of the Adam, ordering him to march to Hijaz, so he marches to Medina, places the sword on the Quraysh, and kills four hundred of them and the Ansar, and rips open their stomachs, kills the children, and kills two brothers from the Quraysh, a man and his sister called Muhammad and Fatima, and crucifies them at the door of the mosque in Medina.

People flee from Medina to Mecca when the Sufyani army informs them, including three members of Quraish who are visible to them

Muhammad bin Abdullah Al-Tahirti told us, on the authority of Abdul Salam bin Maslama, he heard Abu Qabil say: “The Sufyani sends an army to Medina and orders the killing of everyone who is there, from Bani Hashim to the pregnant ones. This is what Al-Hashimi does when he comes out to his companions from the East. He says: What is this whole calamity? My companions were killed except before them. He orders them to be killed, and they are killed until no one of them is known in Medina, and they disperse from it, fleeing to the valleys and mountains, and to Mecca, until... His army puts the sword on them for days, then stops them, and none of them appear except fearful until the Mahdi’s command appears in Mecca. Every guide among them gathered to him in Mecca.”
