حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ الدِّمَشْقِيُّ , حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ , حَدَّثَنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ , عَنْ حَسَّانَ بْنِ عَطِيَّةَ , بِإِسْنَادِهِ نَحْوَهُ , وَزَادَ فِيهِ : " فَيَجْتَمِعُونَ لِلْمَلْحَمَةِ , فَيَأْتُونَ حِينَئِذٍ تَحْتَ ثَمَانِينَ غَايَةٍ تَحْتَ كُلِّ غَايَةٍ اثْنَا عَشَرَ أَلْفًا " .
With this chain as well, it is narrated from Hassan bin Atiyyah in the same manner, with the addition: They (the Christians) will gather to fight the Muslims, at that time they will come under the leadership of the same banners, and under each banner there will be twelve thousand soldiers 1.

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.
