[Machine] About a man from the companions of the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ named Tha'alib, who was the nephew of Al-Najashi. He heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "Make a peace treaty with the Romans that is safe and secure, until you both attack a common enemy from behind them and achieve victory and gain spoils. Then you part ways until you descend upon a place called Marj Dhi Tul  

عَنْ ذِي مِخْمَرٍ رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ وَهُوَ ابْنُ أَخِي النَّجَاشِيِّ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ تُصَالِحُونَ الرُّومَ صُلْحًا آمِنًا حَتَّى تَغْزُونَ أَنْتُمْ وَهُمْ عَدُوًّا مِنْ وَرَائِهِمْ فَتُنْصَرُونَ وَتَغْنَمُونَ وَتَنْصَرِفُونَ حَتَّى تَنْزِلُوا بِمَرْجِ ذِي تُلُولٍ فَيَقُولُ قَائِلٌ مِنَ الرُّومِ غَلَبَ الصَّلِيبُ وَيَقُولُ قَائِلٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ بَلِ اللَّهُ غَلَبَ فَيَتَدَاوَلَانِهَا بَيْنَهُمْ فَيَثُورُ الْمُسْلِمُ إِلَى صَلِيبِهِمْ وَهُمْ مِنْهُمْ غَيْرُ بَعِيدٍ فَيَدُقُّهُ وَيَثُورُ الرُّومُ إِلَى كَاسِرِ صَلِيبِهِمْ فَيَقْتُلُونَهُ وَيَثُورُ الْمُسْلِمُونَ إِلَى أَسْلِحَتِهِمْ فَيُقْتَلُونَ فَيُكْرِمُ اللَّهُ ﷻ تِلْكَ الْعِصَابَةَ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ بِالشَّهَادَةِ فَيَقُولُ الرُّومُ لِصَاحِبِ الرُّومِ كَفَيْنَاكَ جَدَّ الْعَرَبِ فَيَغْدِرُونَ فَيَجْتَمِعُونَ لِلْمَلْحَمَةِ فَيَأْتُونَكُمْ تَحْتَ ثَمَانِينَ غَايَةٍ تَحْتَ كُلِّ غَايَةٍ اثْنَا عَشَرَ أَلْفًا  

[Machine] "He heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, 'Make peace with the Romans so that you may conquer them from behind and gain victory, spoils, and retreat until you reach a marsh with reeds. Then a person from the Romans will say, "The cross has prevailed." And a person from the Muslims will say, "Rather, Allah has prevailed." So the Muslim will proceed to strike their cross, and the Romans will retaliate by beheading him. Then the Muslims will proceed towards their weapons and fight, and Allah will honor that group of Muslims with martyrdom. So the Romans will say to the leader of the Romans, "We have had enough of the Arabs." They will gather for battle, and they will come to you under eighty banners, with twelve thousand troops under each banner.'"  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «تُصَالِحُونَ الرُّومَ صُلْحًا آمِنًا حَتَّى تَغْزُوا أَنْتُمْ وَهُمْ عَدُوًّا مِنْ وَرَائِهِمْ فَتُنْصَرُونَ وَتَغْنَمُونَ وَتَنْصَرِفُونَ حَتَّى تَنْزِلُوا بِمَرْجٍ ذِي تُلُولٍ فَيَقُولُ قَائِلٌ مِنَ الرُّومِ غَلَبَ الصَّلِيبُ وَيَقُولُ قَائِلٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ بَلِ اللَّهُ غَلَبَ فَيَثُورُ الْمُسْلِمُ إِلَى صَلِيبِهِمْ وَهُوَ مِنْهُ غَيْرُ بَعِيدٍ فَيَدُقُّهُ وَتَثُورُ الرُّومُ إِلَى كَاسِرِ صَلِيبِهِمْ فَيَضْرِبُونَ عُنُقَهُ وَيَثُورُ الْمُسْلِمُونَ إِلَى أَسْلِحَتِهِمْ فَيَقْتَتِلُونَ فَيُكْرِمُ اللَّهُ تِلْكَ الْعِصَابَةَ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ بِالشَّهَادَةِ فَتَقُولُ الرُّومُ لِصَاحِبِ الرُّومِ كَفَيْنَاكَ الْعَرَبَ فَيَجْتَمِعُونَ لِلْمَلْحَمَةِ فَيَأْتُونَكُمْ تَحْتَ ثَمَانِينَ غَايَةً تَحْتَ كُلِّ غَايَةٍ اثْنَا عَشَرَ أَلْفًا»  

[Machine] He heard the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , say, "You will make a peaceful reconciliation with the Romans until you both fight a common enemy from behind them, and you will be victorious and take spoils of war until you descend upon a marsh. A man from the Romans will say, 'The cross has prevailed,' and a Muslim will say, 'Rather, Allah has prevailed,' and they will engage in combat. The Muslims will prevail, breaking their crosses and killing their leader. The Muslims will then retrieve their weapons and fight, and Allah will honor that group with martyrdom. They will then come to their king and say, 'We have sufficed you with the Arabian Peninsula,' and they will gather for battle. They will come together under eighty flags, with each flag comprising twelve thousand soldiers."  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «سَتُصَالِحُونَ الرُّومَ صُلْحًا آمِنًا حَتَّى تَغْزُوا أَنْتُمْ وَهُمْ عَدُوًّا مِنْ وَرَائِهِمْ فَتُنْصَرُونَ وَتَسْلَمُونَ وَتَغْنَمُونَ حَتَّى تَنْزِلُوا بِمَرْجٍ فَيَقُولُ قَائِلٌ مِنَ الرُّومِ غَلَبَ الصَّلِيبُ وَيَقُولُ قَائِلٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ بَلِ اللَّهُ غَلَبَ وَيَتَدَاوَلُونَهَا وَصَلِيبُهُمْ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ غَيْرُ بَعِيدٍ فَيَثُورُ إِلَيْهِ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَيَدُقُّهُ وَيَثُورُونَ إِلَى كَاسِرِ صَلِيبِهِمْ فَيَضْرِبُونَ عُنُقَهُ وَيَثُورُ الْمُسْلِمُونَ إِلَى أَسْلِحَتِهِمْ فَيَقْتَتِلُونَ فَيُكْرِمُ اللَّهُ تِلْكَ الْعِصَابَةَ بِالشَّهَادَةِ فَيَأْتُونَ مَلِكَهُمْ فَيَقُولُونَ كَفَيْنَاكَ جَزِيرَةَ الْعَرَبِ فَيَجْتَمِعُونَ لِلْمَلْحَمَةِ فَيَأْتُونَ تَحْتَ ثَمَانِينَ غَايَةً تَحْتَ كُلِّ غَايَةٍ اثْنَا عَشَرَ أَلْفًا»  

[Machine] He heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "Make a peace treaty with the Romans for ten years, a secure and trustworthy treaty. They will fulfill it for two years and break it in the third, or fulfill it for four years and break it in the fifth. Then a force from among you will descend upon their city, and you will fight them as an enemy from behind and they will fight you as an enemy from in front. You will defeat that enemy, and Allah will grant you victory, and you will gain the rewards and spoils. Then you will descend to a flat land with mountains made of wool. A person from among your ranks will say, 'Allah has defeated them,' and another person will say, 'The cross has defeated them.' Then they will engage in a fight and the Muslims will become angry, while their cross is not far from them. At that time, a Muslim will turn to their cross and strike it, and they will retaliate by killing him. This will incite a group of Muslims to rush to their weapons, and the Romans will rush to their weapons. They will kill that group of Muslims and they will be martyred. They will go to their leader and say, 'We have fulfilled our duty towards you and fought the Arabs with our full strength. What are we waiting for?' He will gather for you a group of women to bear children for you, then they will come to you beneath eighty banners. Under each banner there will be twelve thousand (soldiers).
