ذِكْرُ الْبَيَانِ بِأَنَّ أَوَّلَ فَتْحٍ يَكُونُ لِلْمُسْلِمِينَ بَعْدَهُ فَتْحُ جَزِيرَةِ الْعَرَبِ

[Machine] He heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, "You will invade the Arabian Peninsula and Allah will open it for you, and you will invade Persia and Allah will open it for you, and you will invade Rome and Allah will open it for you, and you will invade the Dajjal (Antichrist) and Allah will open it for you."  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ تَغْزُونَ جَزِيرَةَ الْعَرَبِ فَيَفْتَحُ اللهُ لَكُمْ وَتَغْزُونَ فَارِسَ فَيَفْتَحُهَا اللهُ لَكُمْ وَتَغْزُونَ الرُّومَ فَيَفْتَحُهَا اللهُ لَكُمْ وَتَغْزُونَ الدَّجَّالَ فَيَفْتَحُ اللهُ لَكُمْ  

We were with Messenger of Allah ﷺ in an expedition that there came a people to Allah's Apostle ﷺ from the direction of the west. They were dressed in woollen clothes and they stood near a hillock and they met him as Messenger of Allah ﷺ was sitting. I said to myself: Better go to them and stand between him and them that they may not attack him. Then I thought that perhaps there had been going on secret negotiation amongst them. I however, went to them and stood between them and him and I remember four of the words (on that occasion) which I repeat (on the fingers of my hand) that he (Messenger of Allah) said: You will attack Arabia and Allah will enable you to conquer it, then you would attack Persia and He would make you to conquer it. Then you would attack Rome and Allah will enable you to conquer it, then you would attack the Dajjal and Allah will enable you to conquer him. Nafi' said: Jabir, we thought that the Dajjal would appear after Rome (Syrian territory) would be conquered. (Using translation from Muslim 2900)   

كُنْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي غَزَاةٍ فَأَتَاهُ قَوْمٌ مِنْ قِبَلِ الْمَغْرِبِ عَلَيْهِمْ ثِيَابُ الصُّوفِ فَوَافَقُوهُ عِنْدَ أَكَمَةٍ وَهُمْ قِيَامٌ وَهُوَ قَاعِدٌ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَقُمْتُ بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَهُ فَحَفِظْتُ مِنْهُ أَرْبَعَ كَلِمَاتٍ أَعُدُّهُنَّ فِي يَدِي قَالَ تَغْزُونَ جَزِيرَةَ الْعَرَبِ فَيَفْتَحُهَا اللهُ ثُمَّ تَغْزُونَ فَارِسَ فَيَفْتَحُهَا اللهُ ثُمَّ تَغْزُونَ الرُّومَ فَيَفْتَحُهَا اللهُ ثُمَّ تَغْزُونَ الدَّجَّالَ فَيَفْتَحُهُ اللهُ قَالَ نَافِعٌ يَا جَابِرُ أَلَا تَرَى أَنَّ الدَّجَّالَ لَا يَخْرُجُ حَتَّى تُفْتَحَ الرُّومُ  

[Machine] Some people from the Arabs came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ to greet him, and they were wearing wool. So I stood up and said, "I will sit between these people and the Messenger of Allah ﷺ ." Then I said to myself, "He is the savior of the people." Then my soul refused anything other than going to him. He said, "I heard him saying, 'They will wage war against the Arabian Peninsula and Allah will conquer it. Then they will wage war against Persia and Allah will conquer it. Then they will wage war against the Dajjal (Antichrist) and Allah will conquer him.'"  

قَدِمَ نَاسٌ مِنَ الْعَرَبِ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ يُسَلِّمُونَ عَلَيْهِ عَلَيْهِمُ الصُّوفُ فَقُمْتُ فَقُلْتُ لَأَحُولَنَّ بَيْنَ هَؤُلَاءِ وَبَيْنَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ ثُمَّ قُلْتُ فِي نَفْسِي هُوَ نَجِيُّ الْقَوْمِ ثُمَّ أَبَتْ نَفْسِي إِلَّا أَنْ أَقُومَ إِلَيْهِ قَالَ فَسَمِعْتُهُ يَقُولُ «يَغْزُونَ جَزِيرَةَ الْعَرَبِ فَيَفْتَحُهَا اللَّهُ ثُمَّ يَغْزُونَ فَارِسَ فَيَفْتَحُهَا اللَّهُ ثُمَّ يَغْزُونَ الدَّجَّالَ فَيَفْتَحُهُ اللَّهُ» موسى بن عبد الملك واه
