[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).
