حَدَّثَنَا النُّفَيْلِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ ، حَدَّثَنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ ، عَنْ حَسَّانَ بْنِ عَطِيَّةَ ، قَالَ : مَالَ مَكْحُولٌ ، وابْنُ أَبِي زَكَرِيَّا إِلَى خَالِدِ بْنِ مَعْدَانَ وَمِلْتُ مَعَهُمْ فَحَدَّثَنَا ، عَنْ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ ، عَنِ الْهُدْنَةِ ، قَالَ : قَالَ جُبَيْرٌ : انْطَلِقْ بِنَا إِلَى ذِي مِخْبَرٍ ٍ رَجُلٍ 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 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 " .
Dhu Mikhbar 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, 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.

Ibn Majah — Hadith 4089
´It was narrated that Jubair bin Nufair said:` “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.”
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
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.
