أَخْبَرَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ حُرَيْثٍ أَخْبَرَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ عَنْ سُفْيَانَ عَنْ حَبِيبِ بْنِ أَبِي عَمْرَةَ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ
فِي قَوْلِهِ تَعَالَى {§الم غُلِبَتِ الرُّومُ} [الروم 2] قَالَ غَلَبَتْ وَغُلِبَتْ كَانَ الْمُشْرِكُونَ يُحِبُّونَ أَنْ تَظْهَرَ فَارِسُ عَلَى الرُّومِ وَكَانَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ يُحِبُّونَ أَنْ تَظْهَرَ الرُّومُ عَلَى فَارِسَ لِأَنَّهُمْ أَهْلُ كِتَابٍ فَذَكَرُوا لِأَبِي بَكْرٍ فَذَكَرَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ لِرَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «أَمَا إِنَّهُمْ سَيَغْلِبُونَ» فَذَكَرَهُ أَبُو بَكْرٍ ؓ فَقَالُوا اجْعَلْ بَيْنَنَا وَبَيْنَكَ أَجَلًا فَإِنْ ظَهَرْنَا كَانَ لَنَا كَذَا وَكَذَا وَإِنْ ظَهَرْتُمْ كَانَ لَكُمْ كَذَا وَكَذَا فَجَعَلَ أَجْلَ خَمْسِ سِنِينَ

✧ Regarding His saying, exalted is He: {Alif Lam Mim. The Romans have been defeated} [Ar-Rum: 2]. He said: "They defeated and were defeated. The polytheists liked Persia to prevail over Rome, while the Muslims liked Rome to prevail over Persia because they were People of the Book. They mentioned this to Abu Bakr, and Abu Bakr mentioned it to the Messenger of God ﷺ. The Messenger of God ﷺ said, 'Indeed, they will prevail.' Abu Bakr ؓ mentioned it, and they said, 'Set a term between us and you. If we prevail, we get such and such, and if you prevail, you get such and such.' So he set a term of five years."
