حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ أَبِي عَمْرَةَ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍعَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ
كَانَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ يُحِبُّونَ أَنْ تَظْهَرَ الرُّومُ عَلَى فَارِسَ لِأَنَّهُمْ أَهْلُ كِتَابٍ، وَكَانَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ يُحِبُّونَ أَنْ تَظْهَرَ فَارِسُ عَلَى الرُّومِ لِأَنَّهُمْ أَهْلُ أَوْثَانٍ، فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ، فَذَكَرَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ذَلِكَ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: أَمَا إِنَّهُمْ سَيُهْزَمُونَ، فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ لَهُمْ فَقَالُوا: اجْعَلْ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكَ أَجَلًا، فَإِنْ ظَهَرُوا كَانَ لَكَ كَذَا وَكَذَا، وَإِنْ ظَهَرْنَا كَانَ لَنَا كَذَا وَكَذَا، فَجَعَلَ بَيْنَهُمْ أَجَلًا خَمْسَ سِنِينَ، فَلَمْ يَظْهَرُوا، فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ لِلنَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ: أَلَا جَعَلْتَهُ - أُرَاهُ قَالَ -: دُونَ الْعَشْرِ، قَالَ: وَقَالَ سَعِيدٌ: الْبِضْعُ مَا دُونَ الْعَشْرِ، قَالَ: فَظَهَرَتِ الرُّومُ بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ، فَذَلِكَ قَوْلُهُ تَعَالَى: الم غُلِبَتِ الرُّومُ فِي أَدْنَى الأَرْضِ وَهُمْ مِنْ بَعْدِ غَلَبِهِمْ سَيَغْلِبُونَ فِي بِضْعِ سِنِينَ، قَالَ: فَغُلِبَتِ الرُّومُ ثُمَّ غَلَبَتْ بَعْدُ، قَالَ: لِلهِ الأَمْرُ مِنْ قَبْلُ وَمِنْ بَعْدُ وَيَوْمَئِذٍ يَفْرَحُ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ بِنَصْرِ اللهِ، قَالَ: يَفْرَحُ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ بِنَصْرِ اللهِ

✧ The Muslims loved that the Romans should prevail over the Persians because they were People of the Book, and the polytheists loved that the Persians should prevail over the Romans because they were people of idols. So the Muslims mentioned that to Abu Bakr, and Abu Bakr mentioned that to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ said to him: 'Verily, they will be defeated.' Abu Bakr mentioned that to them, and they said: 'Set a term between us and you. If they prevail, you get such and such, and if we prevail, we get such and such.' So he set a term of five years between them. But they did not prevail, so Abu Bakr mentioned that to the Prophet ﷺ, and he said: 'Why did you not make it—I think he said—less than ten?' He said: Sa'id said: 'Biḍʿ means less than ten.' He said: Then the Romans prevailed after that. That is His saying, Exalted is He: 'Alif Lām Mīm. The Romans have been defeated in the nearest land, and they, after their defeat, will prevail within biḍʿ years.' He said: The Romans were defeated, then they prevailed afterwards. He said: 'To Allah belongs the command before and after, and on that day the believers will rejoice at the victory of Allah.' He said: The believers rejoice at the victory of Allah.
