Hassan ibn Atiyyah said: Makhul and Ibn Zakariyya went to Khalid ibn Ma'dan, and I also went along with them. He reported a tradition on the authority of Jubayr ibn Nufayr. He said: Go with us to Dhu Mikhbar, a man from the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ. We came to him and Jubayr asked him about peace. He said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: You will make a secure peace with the Byzantines, then you and they will fight an enemy behind you.

جُبَيْرٌ انْطَلِقْ بِنَا إِلَى ذِي مِخْبَرٍ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَتَيْنَاهُ فَسَأَلَهُ جُبَيْرٌ عَنِ الْهُدْنَةِ فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ سَتُصَالِحُونَ الرُّومَ صُلْحًا آمِنًا وَتَغْزُونَ أَنْتُمْ وَهُمْ عَدُوًّا مِنْ وَرَائِكُمْ

I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: you will make a secure peace with the Byzantines, then you and they will fight an enemy behind you, and you will be victorious, take booty, and be safe. You will then return and alight in a meadow with mounds and one of the Christians will raise the cross and say: The cross has conquered. One of the Muslims will become angry and smash it, and the Byzantines will act treacherously and prepare for the battle.

جُبَيْرٌ انْطَلِقْ بِنَا إِلَى ذِي مِخْبَرٍ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَتَيْنَاهُ فَسَأَلَهُ جُبَيْرٌ عَنِ الْهُدْنَةِ فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ سَتُصَالِحُونَ الرُّومَ صُلْحًا آمِنًا فَتَغْزُونَ أَنْتُمْ وَهُمْ عَدُوًّا مِنْ وَرَائِكُمْ فَتُنْصَرُونَ وَتَغْنَمُونَ وَتَسْلَمُونَ ثُمَّ تَرْجِعُونَ حَتَّى تَنْزِلُوا بِمَرْجٍ ذِي تُلُولٍ فَيَرْفَعُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّصْرَانِيَّةِ الصَّلِيبَ فَيَقُولُ غَلَبَ الصَّلِيبُ فَيَغْضَبُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَيَدُقُّهُ فَعِنْدَ ذَلِكَ تَغْدِرُ الرُّومُ وَتَجْمَعُ لِلْمَلْحَمَةِ

“Jubair said to me: ‘Let’s go to Dhu Mikhmar, who was a man from among the Companions of the Prophet ﷺ.’ So I went with them and he asked him about the peace treaty (with the Romans). He said: ‘I heard the Prophet ﷺ say: “The Romans will enter into a peace treaty with you, then you and they will fight one another as enemies, and you will be victorious; you will collect the spoils of war and be safe. Then you will come back until you stop in a meadow with many hillocks. A man from among the people of the Cross will raise the Cross and will say: ‘The Cross has prevailed.’ Then a man among the Muslims will become angry and will go and break the Cross. Then the Romans will prove treacherous (breaking the treaty) (and will gather) for the fierce battle.”

لِي جُبَيْرٌ انْطَلِقْ بِنَا إِلَى ذِي مِخْمَرٍ وَكَانَ رَجُلاً مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَانْطَلَقْتُ مَعَهُمَا فَسَأَلَهُ عَنِ الْهُدْنَةِ فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ سَتُصَالِحُكُمُ الرُّومُ صُلْحًا آمِنًا ثُمَّ تَغْزُونَ أَنْتُمْ وَهُمْ عَدُوًّا فَتُنْصَرُونَ وَتَغْنَمُونَ وَتَسْلَمُونَ ثُمَّ تَنْصَرِفُونَ حَتَّى تَنْزِلُوا بِمَرْجٍ ذِي تُلُولٍ فَيَرْفَعُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الصَّلِيبِ الصَّلِيبَ فَيَقُولُ غَلَبَ الصَّلِيبُ فَيَغْضَبُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَيَقُومُ إِلَيْهِ فَيَدُقُّهُ فَعِنْدَ ذَلِكَ تَغْدِرُ الرُّومُ وَيَجْتَمِعُونَ لِلْمَلْحَمَةِ

عَنْ ذِي مِخْمَرٍ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ سَتُصَالِحُكُمُ الرُّومُ صُلْحًا آمِنًا ثُمَّ تَغْزُونَ وَهُمْ عَدُوًّا فَتُنْصَرُونَ وَتَسْلَمُونَ وَتَغْنَمُونَ ثُمَّ تَنْصِرِفُونَ حَتَّى تَنْزِلُوا بِمَرْجٍ ذِي تُلُولٍ فَيَرْفَعُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ النَّصْرَانِيَّةِ صَلِيبًا فَيَقُولُ غَلَبَ الصَّلِيبُ فَيَغْضَبُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَيَقُومُ إِلَيْهِ فَيَدُقُّهُ فَعِنْدَ ذَلِكَ يَغْدِرُ الرُّومُ وَيَجْمَعُونَ لِلْمَلْحَمَةِ

[AI] Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ : "You will make a covenant of peace with the Romans, and you will wage war against them while they are your adversaries. Then you will submit and plunder their land. Afterwards, you will descend upon a mountain full of tuf (a kind of gold), and a man from the Romans will rise and raise the cross saying: 'Indeed, the cross has triumphed!' A Muslim man will then rise and kill him. At that time, the Romans will betray you, and battles will occur. They will come to you in eighty groups, where each group consists of ten thousand people."

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ تُصَالِحُونَ الرُّومَ صُلْحًا آمِنًا وَتَغْزُونَ أَنْتُمْ وَهُمْ عَدُوًّا مِنْ وَرَائِهِمْ فَتَسْلَمُونَ وَتَغْنَمُونَ ثُمَّ تَنْزِلُونَ بِمَرْجٍ ذِي تُلُولٍ فَيَقُومُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الرُّومِ فَيَرْفَعُ الصَّلِيبَ وَيَقُولُ أَلَا غَلَبَ الصَّلِيبُ فَيَقُومُ إِلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَيَقْتُلُهُ فَعِنْدَ ذَلِكَ تَغْدِرُ الرُّومُ وَتَكُونُ الْمَلَاحِمُ فَيَجْتَمِعُونَ إِلَيْكُمْ فَيَأْتُونَكُمْ فِي ثَمَانِينَ غَايَةً مَعَ كُلِّ غَايَةٍ عَشْرَةُ
