حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ النُّفَيْلِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ ، حَدَّثَنَا الأَوْزَاعِيُّ ، عَنْ حَسَّانَ بْنِ عَطِيَّةَ ، قَالَ : مَالَ مَكْحُولٌ ، وَابْنُ أَبِي زَكَرِيَّاءَ ، إِلَى خَالِدِ بْنِ مَعْدَانَ وَمِلْتُ مَعَهُمَا ، فَحَدَّثَنَا عَنْ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ جُبَيْرٌ انْطَلِقْ بِنَا إِلَى ذِي مِخْبَر رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَأَتَيْنَاهُ فَسَأَلَهُ جُبَيْرٌ عَنِ الْهُدْنَةِ فَقَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ : " سَتُصَالِحُونَ الرُّومَ صُلْحًا آمِنًا وَتَغْزُونَ أَنْتُمْ وَهُمْ عَدُوًّا مِنْ وَرَائِكُمْ " .
Narrated Dhu Mikhbar: Hassan ibn Atiyyah said: Makhul and Ibn Zakariyya went to Khalid ibn Madan, 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.

Benefits and Issues:
➊ There are various sects among the Christians who differ from one another. In different countries, there is a majority of different sects; therefore, Christians of one sect, being distressed by the oppression of Christians of another sect, may cooperate with Muslims. This is similar to how, in recent times, the Serbs and Croats of Yugoslavia could not live together, so Serbia and Croatia became separate countries, and due to opposition from the Serbs, the Croat Christians became supporters of the Muslims of Bosnia and Herzegovina. In the future, such a situation could arise in any major country as well. Or, Christians and Muslims could unite and fight together against a third country (followers of Hinduism, Buddhism, etc.).
➋ The temporary reconciliation between Muslims and Christians cannot be permanent, because Christians harbor enmity towards Muslims in their hearts; therefore, when given the opportunity, they may take action against Muslims on the basis of even a trivial pretext.
➌ Even after making a peace treaty with non-Muslims, Muslims should remain vigilant and make complete arrangements for their defense.
➍ The mention of the Christian military campaign against Muslims has also passed in Hadith 4042.
