You will invade the Arabian Peninsula and Allah will conquer it; then Persia and Allah will conquer it; then you will attack the Byzantines and Allah will conquer them; then you will attack the Anti-Christ and Allah will conquer him
Chapter: Conquests Of The Muslims Before The Appearance Of Ad-Dajjal
Authentic
hadith of Sahih Muslim
Sahih Muslim 2900
Nāfi‘ ibn ‘Utbah (may Allah be pleased with him) reported: We were with the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) in a battle. Some people came to him from the direction of the west. They were dressed in woolen clothes and they met him on a hillock. They stood while the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) was sitting. I said to myself: "Go and stand between them and him, lest they should assassinate him." Then I said [to myself] that he was probably having a private conversation with them. However, I went to them and stood between them and him. I kept to my memory four words that he (the Prophet) said: which I count on my fingers: "You will invade the Arabian Peninsula and Allah will conquer it; then Persia and Allah will conquer it; then you will attack the Byzantines and Allah will conquer them; then you will attack the Anti-Christ and Allah will conquer him." Nāfi' said: ''O Jābir, we think the Anti-Christ will not appear until the Byzantines are conquered."
Reported by Muslim (No. 2900), Ibn Majah (No. 4091) and Ahmad (No. 1458, 18204, 18205).
The Companion Nāfi‘ ibn ‘Utbah relates that he was with the Messenger of Allah (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) during a battle. Some people clad in woolen clothes came from the direction of the west to meet the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) who was sitting on a high place, and they were standing. Nāfi‘ said to himself that he should not leave the Prophet alone with those strangers, so he should go and stand with them, so that they would not kill the Prophet unnoticed. Then he said to himself that the Prophet was probably having a private conversation with them and did not want anyone to hear or know about it. However, he went to where they were standing and stood between them and the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him). Then Nāfi‘ said that he memorized from the Prophet four sentences that he could count on his fingers. The Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) said that Muslims after him would fight the disbelieving Arabs. All Arabs would enter Islam, and the whole Arabian Peninsula would be under the rule of Muslims. Then he said that they would fight the Persians and conquer all the Persian territories. Then they would fight the Byzantines, defeat them, and open their lands. Then they would fight the Anti-Christ, and Allah would vanquish him. Then Nāfi‘ said to Jābir ibn Samurah that the Anti-Christ would emerge only after the Byzantines are conquered. These four things happened except the fighting of the Anti-Christ, which will take place just before the advent of the Hour.
Explanation in Arabic
يحكي الصحابي نافع بن عتبة رضي الله عنه أنه كان مع رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم في غزوة، فجاء ناس من ناحية المغرب إلى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم يلبسون ثيابًا من الصوف، وكان النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم جالسا على مكان مرتفع، فوقفوا ورسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قاعد، فقال نافع لنفسه: لا تترك رسول الله بمفرده مع هؤلاء الغرباء، اذهب فكن معهم حتى لا يقتلوه ولا يراهم أحد. ثم قال لنفسه: لعله يكون يتكلم معهم كلام سر لا يريد أن يطلع عليه أحد. فما كان منه إلا أن ذهب فوقف بينهم وبينه صلى الله عليه وسلم ، قال نافع: فحفِظتُ من رسول الله أربع جمل أُعدها على يدي، حيث أخبر صلى الله عليه وسلم أن المسلمين من بعده يقاتلون كفار العرب، فيدخل العرب كلهم في الإسلام، وتصير الجزيرة العربية كلها تحت حكم المسلمين، ثم أخبرهم أنهم يقاتلون الفرس فينتصرون عليهم، ويفتحون بلاد فارس كلها، ثم يقاتلون الروم فينتصرون عليهم، ويفتحون بلادهم، ثم يقاتلون الدَّجَّال فيجعله الله تعالى مقهورا مغلوبا. ثم قال نافع لجابر بن سمرة: يا جابر، لا أظن الدجال يخرج حتى تُفتح بلاد الروم.
وكلها قد وقعت وبقي قتال الدجال، وهذا يكون بين يدي الساعة، قريبا منها.
شدة محبة الصحابة للنبي -صلى الله عليه وسلم- وحرصهم عليه.
أدب الصحابة مع رسول الله -صلى الله عليه وسلم-.
جواز المناجاة والسر.
حرص الصحابة على حفظ العلم الذي يتلقونه من رسول الله -صلى الله عليه وسلم-.
من علامات الساعة: فتح جزيرة العرب وفارس والروم وخروج الدجال على الترتيب المذكور.
إثبات أشراط الساعة.
الحديث من علامات النبوة حيث وقع ما أخبر به -صلى الله عليه وسلم- من فتح جزيرة العرب وفارس والروم، وسيخرج الدجال حتمًا كما أخبر رسول الله -صلى الله عليه وسلم-.
