[Machine] From the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , it was narrated that he said, "From whom are you?" We said, "From the people of Iraq." He said, "Indeed, you, O people of Iraq, tell lies, are lied to, and mock others." I said, "No, by Allah, we do not lie to you, nor do we lie about you, nor do we mock you." He said, "Verily, the people of Qantura and Karkiy do not leave until they tie their horses to the date palm trees of 'Ayla. What is the distance between them and Basra?" We said, "Four Farsakhs." He said, "They will send a third to them, a third to Kufa, and a third to the Bedouins. Then they will send to the people of Kufa, 'Leave us and them.' A third will join them, a third will join the Bedouins, and a third will join Shaam (Greater Syria)." We said, "What is the sign of that?" He said, "When the authority of children is established on the earth."
عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَرَوَيْتَ الْكُتُبَ فَقَالَ «مِمَّنْ أَنْتُمْ؟» قَالَ فَقُلْنَا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْعِرَاقِ فَقَالَ «إِنَّكُمْ يَا أَهْلَ الْعِرَاقِ تَكْذِبُونَ وَتُكَذِّبُونَ وَتَسْخَرُونَ» قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لَا وَاللَّهِ لَا نُكَذِّبُكَ وَلَا نَكْذِبُ عَلَيْكَ وَلَا نَسْخَرُ مِنْكَ قَالَ فَإِنَّ بَنِي قَنْطُورَاءَ وَكُرْكِيٍّ لَا يَخْرُجُونَ حَتَّى يَرْبِطُوا خُيُولَهُمْ بِنَخْلِ الَأَيْلَةِ كَمْ بَيْنَهَا وَبَيْنَ الْبَصْرَةِ؟ قَالَ فَقُلْنَا أَرْبَعُ فَرَاسِخَ قَالَ فَيَبْعَثُونَ أَنْ خَلُّوا بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَهَا قَالَ «فَيَلْحَقُ ثُلُثٌ بِهِمْ وَثُلُثٌ بِالْكُوفَةِ وَثُلُثٌ بِالْأَعْرَابِ ثُمَّ يَبْعَثُونَ إِلَى أَهْلِ الْكُوفَةِ أَنْ خَلُّوا بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَهَا فَيَلْحَقُ ثُلُثٌ بِهِمْ وَثُلُثٌ بِالْأَعْرَابِ وَثُلُثٌ بِالشَّامِ» قَالَ فَقُلْنَا مَا أَمَارَةُ ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ «إِذَا طَبَّقَتِ الْأَرْضَ إِمَارَةُ الصِّبْيَانِ»
