حَدَّثَنَا
يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ ، أَخْبَرَنَا
الْعَوَّامُ ، حَدَّثَنَا
سَعِيدُ بْنُ جُمْهَانَ ، عَنِ
ابْنِ أَبِي بَكْرَةَ ، عَنْ
أَبِيهِ ، قَالَ :
" ذَكَرَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَرْضًا يُقَالُ لَهَا الْبُصَيْرَةُ ، إِلَى جَنْبِهَا نَهَرٌ يُقَالُ لَهُ : دِجْلَةُ ، ذُو نَخْلٍ كَثِيرٍ ، وَيَنْزِلُ بِهِ بَنُو قَنْطُورَاءَ ، فَيَفْتَرِّقُ النَّاسُ ثَلَاثَ فِرَقٍ فِرْقَةٌ تَلْحَقُ بِأَصْلِهَا ، وَهَلَكُوا ، وَفِرْقَةٌ تَأْخُذُ عَلَى أَنْفُسِهَا ، وَكَفَرُوا ، وَفِرْقَةٌ يَجْعَلُونَ ذَرَارِيَّهُمْ خَلْفَ ظُهُورِهِمْ ، فَيُقَاتِلُونَ ، قَتْلَاهُمْ شُهَدَاءُ ، يَفْتَحُ اللَّهُ عَلَى بَقِيَّتِهِمْ " ، وَشَكَّ يَزِيدُ فِيهِ مَرَّةً ، فَقَالَ : الْبُصَيْرَةُ أَوْ الْبَصْرَةُ . .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Bakrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) once mentioned a region called Basrah, on one side of which flows a river named Dijlah (Tigris), and it is an area with many gardens. There, the Banu Qantura (Turks) will come and settle. Then the people will be divided into three groups: one group will join their origin and they will be destroyed; one group will transgress against themselves and disbelieve; and one group will leave their children behind and fight. Their slain will be martyrs, and through the remaining people of this group, the Muslims will achieve victory.
