Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Dr. Abdur Rahman Freywai
Explanation:
1:
Alif Lam Meem,
The Romans have been defeated in the nearest land, and after their defeat, they will soon be victorious,
within a few years.
Before and after (this event), the command belongs only to Allah,
On that day, the Muslims will rejoice.
()

2:
This is because the Muslims were People of the Book (those of the Qur’an), and the Romans were also People of the Book (those of the Gospel),
while the Persians were disbelievers and polytheists, just as the people of Makkah were disbelievers and polytheists.
Their happiness was due to this slight affinity.

(‘Atiyyah ‘Awfi is a weak narrator,
but due to corroborating evidence, this hadith is authentic.)
