The answer

Some hadiths mention signs of the Hour, including: the emergence of a man from Qahtan who will drive people with his staff, and the emergence of the Sufyani from the depths of Damascus, followed by people from Kalb, who will kill children and women. Then Qays will be defeated before him. Then a man from the Prophet's household (peace be upon him) will emerge from al-Harrah. The Sufyani will send an army against them and defeat them. Then the Sufyani will march towards him with his army, and they will be swallowed by the earth in a desert region. As for Al-Harith and Al-Yamani, there is no clear text concerning them, unless Al-Yamani is intended to be Al-Qahtani.
