" عَنْ عَبْدِ الرحمن بن سِنَّةَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: وَالَّذِى نَفْسِى بِيَدهِ لَيَأرَزَنَّ الإسْلامُ إِلَى مَا بَيْنَ الَمْسَجدَيْن كمَا تَأرزُ الحيةُ إلى جُحْرِهَا، وَلَيَأرزَنَّ الإيمانُ إلَى المدينة كما يَحُوز السَّيْلُ الدمن، فَبَيْنَمَا هُمْ عَلَى ذَلِكَ اسْتَغَاثَتِ العَرَبُ بأَعْرابِهَا فَخَرَجُوا في مَحْلَبَةٍ لَهُمْ كَمَصَابيح مَنْ مَضَى وَخَير مَن بَقَى، فَاقْبَلُوا هُمْ والرُّومُ فَتنقَلِبُ بِهِمْ الْحَرْبُ حَتَّى يَرِدْوا عُمْقَ أَنْطَاكِيَّةَ فَيَقْتَتِلُونَ بِهَا ثَلاثَ لَيَالٍ، فَيْرَفعُ اللهُ النَّصْرَ عْن كِلا الفَرِيقَين حتى يَخُوضَ الَخْيلُ في الدَّمِ إلى ثَنْيَتِهَا، وَتَقُولُ الْمَلائِكَةُ: أَىْ رَب أَلا تَنْصُرُ عِبَادَكَ؟ فيقولُ: حتى تَكْثُرَ شَهَداؤُهُم فَيُستَشْهدُ ثلثٌ وَيَرْجِعُ ثُلُثٌ شَاكًا فَيُخْسَفُ بِهْم فَيَقُولُ الرُّومُ: لَنْ نَدَعَكُمْ إلا أَنْ تُخْرِجُوا إِليْنَا كُلَّ مَنْ كانَ أَصْلُهُ مِنَّا فَتقُولُ العَرَبُ لِلْعَجَمِ: الْحَقُوا بِالرُّومِ، فَتَقُولُ العَجَمُ: انَكْفُرُ بَعْدَ الإيمانِ فينعصون عْنِدَ ذَلِكَ يَحِملُونَ الرَّومَ فَيْقَتتِلُونَ فَيْغَضَبُ اللهُ عِنْدَ ذَلِكَ فَيَضْرِبُ بِسْيِفِه وَيَطْعَنُ بِرُمْحِهِ قَالَ: سَيْفُ المُؤمِنِ وُرْمحُهُ حتَّى تَهْلكَ الرَّومُ جِمِيعًا، فَمَا يُفْلتُ مِنْهم إلا مُخْبرُ، ثُمَّ يْنطلقُونَ إِلَى أرِض الرَّومِ فَيَفْتَتحُونَ حُصُونَهَا وَمَدايَنها بالتكْبِير، يُكَبِّرُونَ تَكبِيرةً فَتَسْقُطُ جُدُرُهَا، ثُمَ يُكَبرونَ تكبيرةً أُخْرَى فَيَسْقُطُ جِدَارٌ، ثمَّ يُكَبِّرونَ تَكبِيرَةَ أُخْرَى فَيَسْقُطُ جِدَارٌ آخَرُ وَيَبقى جِدَارُها البَحَرى لا يَسْقُط، ثُمّ يَسْتَجِيزُونَ إِلَى رُومِيَة فيْفتتحُونها بالتكبير ويُكايِلُونَ يْومئِذٍ غَنَائِمَهُمْ كَيْلا بالغرائر".

"On the authority of 'Abd al-Rahman ibn Sunnah, who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: By the One in whose hand my soul is, Islam will surely retreat to between the two mosques, as the snake retreats into its hole. Faith will surely retreat to Madinah as the flood gathers the refuse. While they are in that state, the Arabs call for help from their Bedouins, and they set out in a company of theirs like the lamps of those who passed and the best of those who remain. They and the Romans advance, and war turns them about until they reach the depth of Antioch, where they fight for three nights. Allah withdraws victory from both sides until the horses wade in blood up to their bridles. The angels say: O Lord, will You not help Your servants? He says: Not until their martyrs multiply. A third is martyred, a third returns doubting, and they are swallowed up. The Romans say: We will not leave you alone unless you bring out to us everyone whose origin is from us. The Arabs say to the non-Arabs: Join the Romans. The non-Arabs say: Shall we disbelieve after faith? So they rise up against the Romans and fight them. At that, Allah becomes angry and strikes with His sword and thrusts with His spear. He said: The sword of the believer and his spear, until the Romans are all destroyed, and none of them escapes except one who brings the news. Then they set out to the land of the Romans and conquer its fortresses and cities with takbir. They say one takbir and its walls fall. Then they say another takbir and one wall falls. Then they say another takbir and another wall falls, and its northern wall remains and does not fall. Then they proceed to Rome and conquer it with takbir, and on that day they measure out their spoils with sacks."
