The riot happens in [[Syria]]. According to a [[hadith]] from [[Imam al-Rida (a)]], the Reappearance of [[al-Qa'im (a)]] will not happen without the Riot of al-Sufyani. According to other hadiths, after nine months of rule in Syria, al-Sufyani and his army advance towards [[Medina]] and will be devoured by the Earth in a place called "Bayda'".

According to hadiths from Imam al-Sadiq (a), the Riot of al-Sufyani is characterized as inevitable, and is referred to as one of the five [[signs of the Reappearance]] of the al-Qa'im along with the [[Riot of al-Yamani]], the [[Heavenly Cry]], the [[Murder of the Pure Soul]], and [[Khasf al-Bayda']].

There is also a hadith from [[Imam al-Rida (a)]] according to which the Reappearance of the al-Qa'im is inevitable, and the Riot of al-Sufyani is likewise inevitable, and without the al-Sufyani's riot, the al-Qa'im is not going to reappear. According to a hadith from Imam al-Sadiq (a), the Riot of al-Sufyani is inevitable and is going to occur in the [[Rajab month]]. There is a hadith from [[Imam al-Baqir (a)]] implying that the Riots of al-Sufyani, [[Sayyid al-Yamani]], and [[Sayyid al-Khurasani]] are going to occur in the same year, same month, and the same day.
