Fighting the Turks in the land of Basra
Hadith 12941
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ أَنَا الْعَوَّامُ ثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ جَمْهَانَ عَنِ ابْنِ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: ذَكَرَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَرْضًا يُقَالُ لَهَا الْبَصْرَةُ إِلَى جَنْبِهَا نَهْرٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ دَجْلَةُ، ذُو نَخْلٍ كَثِيرٍ وَيَنْزِلُ بِهِ بَنُو قَنْطُورَاءَ، فَيَتَفَرَّقُ النَّاسُ ثَلَاثَ فِرَقٍ فِرْقَةٌ تَلْحَقُ بِأَصْلِهَا وَهَلَكُوا وَفِرْقَةٌ تَأْخُذُ عَلَى أَنْفُسِهَا وَكَفَرُوا وَفِرْقَةٌ يَجْعَلُونَ ذَرَارِيَّهُمْ خَلْفَ ظُهُورِهِمْ فَيُقَاتِلُونَ، قَتْلَاهُمْ شُهَدَاءُ، يَفْتَحُ اللَّهُ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى عَنْ بَقِيَّتِهِمْ، وَشَكَّ يَزِيدُ فِيهِ مَرَّةً فَقَالَ الْبُصَيْرَةُ أَوِ الْبَصْرَةُ
Sayyiduna Abu Bakrah narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned the land of Basrah and said: On one side of it is a river called Dijlah (Tigris), and there are many date palms there. The Banu Qantura (i.e., the Turks) will come and settle there, and the Muslims will be divided into three groups: one group will join their origin (i.e., will become occupied with their fields and cattle), these people will be destroyed; the second group will remain aloof, these people will become disbelievers; and one group will leave their wives and children behind and will fight, their slain will be martyrs, then Allah Almighty will grant victory to the remaining ones. Once, while narrating this hadith, Yazid bin Harun was uncertain whether it was Basirah or Basrah.
Hadith 12942
(وَمِنْ طَرِيقٍ آخَرَ) حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ أَنَا الْعَوَّامُ بْنُ حَوْشَبٍ عَنْ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ جَمْهَانَ عَنْ ابْنِ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ”لَتَنْزِلُنَّ أَرْضًا يُقَالُ لَهَا الْبَصْرَةُ أَوِ الْبُصَيْرَةُ عَلَى دَجْلَةِ نَهْرٍ“ فَذَكَرَ مَعْنَاهُ قَالَ الْعَوَّامُ: بَنُو قَنْطُورَاءَ، هُمُ التُّرْكُ
(Second chain) It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You will surely settle on the land of Basrah or Basirah by the bank of the river Dijlah (Tigris), ... then he mentioned as in the previous hadith. The common people said: By Banu Qantura are meant the Turks."
Hadith 12943
(وَمِنْ طَرِيقٍ آخَرَ) حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ثَنَا أَبُو النَّضْرِ هَاشِمُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ ثَنَا الْحَشَرَجُ بْنُ نُبَاتَةَ الْقَيْسِيُّ الْكُوفِيُّ حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ جَمْهَانَ ثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي فِي هَذَا الْمَسْجِدِ يَعْنِي مَسْجِدَ الْبَصْرَةِ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ”لَتَنْزِلَنَّ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِي أَرْضًا يُقَالُ لَهَا الْبَصْرَةُ يَكْثُرُ بِهَا عَدَدُهُمْ وَيَكْثُرُ بِهَا نَخْلُهُمْ ثُمَّ يَجِيءُ بَنُو قَنْطُورَاءَ عِرَاضُ الْوُجُوهِ صِغَارُ الْعُيُونِ حَتَّى يَنْزِلُوا عَلَى جَسْرٍ لَهُمْ يُقَالُ لَهُ دَجْلَةُ فَيَتَفَرَّقُ الْمُسْلِمُونَ ثَلَاثَ فِرَقٍ فَأَمَّا فِرْقَةٌ فَيَأْخُذُونَ بِأَذْنَابِ الْإِبِلِ وَتَلْحَقُ بِالْبَادِيَةِ وَهَلَكَتْ، وَأَمَّا فِرْقَةٌ فَتَأْخُذُ عَلَى أَنْفُسِهَا فَكَفَرَتْ فَهَذِهِ وَتِلْكَ سَوَاءٌ، وَأَمَّا فِرْقَةٌ فَيَجْعَلُونَ عِيَالَهُمْ خَلْفَ ظُهُورِهِمْ وَيُقَاتِلُونَ فَقَتْلَاهُمْ شُهَدَاءُ وَيَفْتَحُ اللَّهُ عَلَى بَقِيَّتِهَا“
(Third chain) Abdullah bin Abu Bakrah says: My father narrated to me in that mosque of Basra that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: A group of my Ummah will surely settle in the land called Basra, there they will be great in number and there will be an abundance of dates. Then the Banu Qantura, whose faces will be flat and eyes small, will come and camp at the bridge of the Tigris. Thereupon, the Muslims will be divided into three groups: one group will hold onto the tails of camels and head towards the villages; these people will be destroyed. The second group will remain absorbed in their own state; they will become disbelievers. Both these groups will be equal in terms of their end. The third group will leave their families behind and fight against the disbelievers; their slain will be martyrs. Then Allah, the Exalted, will grant victory to the remaining people of this group.
Hadith 12944
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.
