I've read and heard similar stories by Ulama. In any case it should serve as a warning to those who plot to do harm to the people of Madinah Munawwarah.

Sa'd narrates that Rasulullah said: No one who intends evil for the people of Madinah except that Allah will melt him in the Fire, like the melting of lead or the dissolving of salt in water.

The Earth Swallows a Party of Forty Men as They Prepare to Exhume Shaikhayn

Umar bin Zaghab relates, “While I was in Madinah, I had a friend, Shamsuddin Malati, who was one of the workers in
Masjid-al-Nabawi. He was a caring person and had a special place in his heart for the beggars of Madinah. One day he said to
me, I am going to tell you this amazing story:

I had a friend, Sawab, who was close to the superintendent of Masjid-al-Haram. I would receive instructions of my duties
through him (the friend). One day he came to me and said, “May Allah I help me, something really terrible has
happened. Some people from Halab have arrived and presented the superintendent with a lot of money. They want him
to open the doors of the Blessed Chamber (where the Blessed Prophet saw now rests) so they can remove the graves of Abu
Bakr and Omar. Apparently, the superintendent has also given them the go ahead.”
Shamsuddin continues, “I heard this and was deeply distressed. Only a while later I received a note from the
superintendent to be at his residence immediately. I went to him, and he said, ‘Sawab, some people tonight are going to
come and knock at the door, open the door for them and let them do whatever they want; don’t try to come in their way.
I replied, “Whatever you wish sir.”
I returned and cried in anguish and helplessness the whole day behind the chamber of the Blessed Prophet. I couldn’t
control my tears and only Allah I knows what I went through that day. All the musallis (worshipers) left after Isha Salah,
the doors were then immediately locked, and the masjid became silent in its emptiness.
Then I heard a knock at the door. I opened the door and counted forty men walk in. They carried with them shovels,
spades, candles, and other tools to aid them in their evil plans. They all walked together towards the chamber. Before
they even reached the pulpit where the Blessed Prophet delivered his khutbas, I saw the earth swallow them whole, with their tools and everything else they had carried along with them. There was no trace left of any of them.
The superintendent was waiting for them to leave the premises, which they obviously didn’t. After a while he sent for me
and asked, “O Sawab! Those people didn’t come?” I replied, “They came but such and such happened to them.” He
said, “What do you think?” I said, “That’s what happened! I will take you there if you like and then you can see for
yourself whether there is any trace of them left or not.” He thought it over and said, “Listen, keep this to yourself and if
anyone else finds out about this, you will be executed.” I then returned to my quarters.

Later, the superintendent contracted a disease. His flesh began to fall off piece by piece and he eventually died a painful
death. When the Rawafiz (Shi’ite) found out that all forty of their men were swallowed into the ground, they slipped into
Madinah quietly, kidnapped one of the workers of the Haram, and took him to an abandoned building. They beat him,
cut his tongue, and hacked off his limbs.They then threw him near the Blessed Chamber of the Blessed Prophet . That night he saw the Blessed Prophet in his dream. The Blessed Prophet saw stroked his hands over his tongue and the limbs that had been hacked off. The worker woke up in the morning, his tongue and limbs intact, and himself as healthy as he was before. When the Rawafiz (Shi’ite) saw this, they again kidnapped him, cut his tongue, and threw him near the Blessed Prophet’s saw chamber. Again, he saw the Blessed Prophet saw that night in his dream. The Prophet saw stroked his hand over the worker’s body and tongue. The next morning the worker was returned to his normal health as before, with his tongue intact. Again the
Rawafiz (Shi’ite) did the same. This time they took him to an abandoned building and locked the door from the outside.
Again he saw the Blessed Prophet saw in his dream. The Prophet saw again stroked his hand and everything returned to its
original state and the pain was gone.”
