[Machine] My father narrated to me in this mosque, which is the mosque of Basra, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "A group from my Ummah will settle in a land called Busrat, where their numbers will increase and their palm trees will flourish. Then the Banu Qantura will come, with their bright faces and small eyes, until they settle on a bridge called Dijlah. The Muslims will then be divided into three groups. One group will take hold of the camels' tails and move towards the desert and perish. Another group will have doubt and will deviate from the right path, so they will disbelieve. These two groups are equal. The third group will put their families on their backs and fight, and they will be martyred. Allah will grant victory to the remaining group."
حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي فِي هَذَا الْمَسْجِدِ يَعْنِي مَسْجِدَ الْبَصْرَةِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَتَنْزِلَنَّ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِي أَرْضًا يُقَالُ لَهَا الْبُصَيْرَةُ يَكْثُرُ بِهَا عَدَدُهُمْ وَيَكْثُرُ بِهَا نَخْلُهُمْ ثُمَّ يَجِيءُ بَنُو قَنْطُورَاءَ عِرَاضُ الْوُجُوهِ صِغَارُ الْعُيُونِ حَتَّى يَنْزِلُونَ عَلَى جِسْرٍ لَهُمْ يُقَالُ لَهُ دِجْلَةُ فَيَتَفَرَّقُ الْمُسْلِمُونَ ثَلَاثَ فِرَقٍ فَأَمَّا فِرْقَةٌ فَيَأْخُذُونَ بِأَذْنَابِ الْإِبِلِ وَتَلْحَقُ بِالْبَادِيَةِ وَهَلَكَتْ وَأَمَّا فِرْقَةٌ فَتَأْخُذُ عَلَى أَنْفُسِهَا فَكَفَرَتْ فَهَذِهِ وَتِلْكَ سَوَاءٌ وَأَمَّا فِرْقَةٌفَيَجْعَلُونَ عِيَالَهُمْ خَلْفَ ظُهُورِهِمْ وَيُقَاتِلُونَ فَقَتْلَاهُمْ شُهَدَاءُ وَيَفْتَحُ اللهُ عَلَى بَقِيَّتِهَا
