It is narrated from Sayyiduna Nafi’ bin ‘Utbah (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I participated in a battle with the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Some people came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) from the western region; they were wearing woolen clothes. They met the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) near a mound; they were standing and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was sitting. I also came and stood between the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and them, and I remembered four things from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him); now I can count them on my hand. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: You will fight the inhabitants of the Arabian Peninsula, Allah Almighty will grant victory; then you will fight the Persians, that too will be conquered; then you will fight the Romans, Allah Almighty will grant victory; and then you will fight the Dajjal, and Allah Almighty will grant you victory over him as well.

Brief Explanation
Benefits: … These ahadith are among the signs of Prophethood, because very soon after the passing of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam, these prophecies were fulfilled and the great empires of the world were laid at the feet of the Muslim warriors. However, the battle with the Dajjal still remains; our belief is that he too, poor fellow, will be overcome.
