وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُرَيْدَةَ الْأَسْلَمِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: كُنْتُ جَالِسًا عِنْدَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَسَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: ”إِنَّ أُمَّتِي يَسُوقُهَا قَوْمٌ عِرَاضُ الْأَوْجُهِ صِغَارُ الْأَعْيُنِ، كَأَنَّ وُجُوهَهُمُ الْحَجَفُ ثَلَاثَ مِرَارٍ حَتَّى يَلْحَقُوهُمْ بِجَزِيرَةِ الْعَرَبِ، أَمَّا السَّابِقَةُ الْأُولَى فَيَنْجُو مَنْ هَرَبَ مِنْهُمْ وَأَمَّا الثَّانِيَةُ فَيَهْلِكُ بَعْضٌ وَيَنْجُو بَعْضٌ، وَأَمَّا الثَّالِثَةُ فَيَصْطَلِمُونَ كُلَّهُمْ مَنْ بَقِيَ مِنْهُمْ“ قَالُوا: يَا نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ! مَنْ هُمْ؟ قَالَ: ”هُمُ التُّرْكُ، قَالَ: أَمَا وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَيَرْبِطُنَّ خُيُولَهُمْ إِلَى سِوَارِي مَسَاجِدِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ“ قَالَ: وَكَانَ بُرَيْدَةُ لَا يُفَارِقُهُ بَعِيرَانِ أَوْ ثَلَاثَةٌ وَمَتَاعُ السَّفَرِ وَالْأَسْقِيَّةُ يُعِدُّ ذَلِكَ لِلْهَرْبِ مِمَّا سَمِعَ مِنَ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ مِنَ الْبَلَاءِ مِنْ أُمَرَاءِ التُّرْكِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Buraidah Aslami (may Allah be pleased with him), he says: I was sitting with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when I heard him say: A people whose faces will be broad and their eyes small, as if their faces are as broad as shields (he said this three times), this people will drive my Ummah towards the Arabian Peninsula. Whoever flees from their first encounter will be saved, in the second encounter some will be killed and some will be saved, and in the third time, they will wipe out even those who remain. The Companions asked: O Messenger of Allah! Who will these people be? He said: They will be the Turks. He (peace and blessings be upon him) further said: By Him in Whose hand is my soul! They will tie their horses to the pillars of the Muslims’ mosques. Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Buraidah, after hearing this hadith of the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), used to always keep two or three camels, travel provisions, and water skins ready in order to escape from the trial of the Turkish rulers.
