As salaam alaikum wa rahmatullah,

There is a lot of talk regarding the end of time being very soon, with many 'Ulama openly saying that the Middle aged among us will probably be alive to see the Mahdi. In light of what the 'Ulama are saying, who do you think the following Hadeeth might refer to or what have the 'Ulama said regarding it:

Abu Hurairah Radiallahu Anhu has narrated that the Prophet (sallallahu 'alaihi wa sallam) said, 'A man will emerge from the depths of Damascus. He will be called Sufyani. Most of those who follow him will be from the tribe of Kalb. He will kill by ripping the stomachs of women and even kill the children. A man from my family will appear in the Haram, the news of his advent will reach the Sufyani and he will send to him one of his armies. He (referring to Imam Mahdi) will defeat them. They will then travel with whoever remains until they come to a desert and they will be swallowed. None will be saved except the one who had informed the others about them.' (Mustadrak of Imam Haakim).
