باب مَا يَكُونُ مِنْ فُتُوحَاتِ الْمُسْلِمِينَ قَبْلَ الدَّجَّالِ:Chapter: Conquests Of The Muslims Before The Appearance Of Ad-Dajjal
حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ ، عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ ، عَنْ نَافِعِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ ، قَالَ : كُنَّا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي غَزْوَةٍ ، قَالَ : فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَوْمٌ مِنْ قِبَلِ الْمَغْرِبِ عَلَيْهِمْ ثِيَابُ الصُّوفِ ، فَوَافَقُوهُ عِنْدَ أَكَمَةٍ ، فَإِنَّهُمْ لَقِيَامٌ وَرَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَاعِدٌ ، قَالَ : فَقَالَتْ لِي نَفْسِي : ائْتِهِمْ فَقُمْ بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَهُ لَا يَغْتَالُونَهُ ، قَالَ : ثُمَّ قُلْتُ : لَعَلَّهُ نَجِيٌّ مَعَهُمْ فَأَتَيْتُهُمْ ، فَقُمْتُ بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَهُ ، قَالَ : فَحَفِظْتُ مِنْهُ أَرْبَعَ كَلِمَاتٍ أَعُدُّهُنَّ فِي يَدِي ، قَالَ : " تَغْزُونَ جَزِيرَةَ الْعَرَبِ ، فَيَفْتَحُهَا اللَّهُ ثُمَّ فَارِسَ ، فَيَفْتَحُهَا اللَّهُ ثُمَّ تَغْزُونَ الرُّومَ فَيَفْتَحُهَا اللَّهُ ، ثُمَّ تَغْزُونَ الدَّجَّالَ فَيَفْتَحُهُ اللَّهُ " ، قَالَ : فَقَالَ نَافِعٌ : يَا جَابِرُ لَا نَرَى الدَّجَّالَ يَخْرُجُ حَتَّى تُفْتَحَ الرُّومُ .
Nafi' bin Utba reported: We were with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) in an expedition that there came a people to Allah's Apostle (ﷺ) from the direction of the west. They were dressed in woollen clothes and they stood near a hillock and they met him as Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) was sitting. I said to myself: Better go to them and stand between him and them that they may not attack him. Then I thought that perhaps there had been going on secret negotiation amongst them. I however, went to them and stood between them and him and I remember four of the words (on that occasion) which I repeat (on the fingers of my hand) that he (Allah's Messenger) said: You will attack Arabia and Allah will enable you to conquer it, then you would attack Persia and He would make you to Conquer it. Then you would attack Rome and Allah will enable you to conquer it, then you would attack the Dajjal and Allah will enable you to conquer him. Nafi' said: Jabir, we thought that the Dajjal would appear after Rome (Syrian territory) would be conquered.

Benefits and Issues:
➊ The Arabian Peninsula (present-day Saudi Arabia, Yemen, Hadhramaut, Qatar, Kuwait, and part of Iraq) was conquered during the era of the Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. During the era of the Rightly Guided Caliphate, wars were fought against Rome and Persia. At that time, Rome was the principal region of the Christians. The entire region of Europe is, in terms of civilization, subordinate to it; however, now the Muslim regions are striving for independence.
➌ In this hadith, there is a prophecy regarding the dominance of Islam over Europe. After this, the Dajjal will appear. When his tribulation reaches its peak, then ‘Isa alayhis salam will descend. At that time, Islam will prevail over the entire world.
➍ The purpose of giving advance notice of these events is so that, at such times, Muslims may support the truth and not be overawed by the apparent dominance of falsehood.
