حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ يَحْيَى بْنِ حَمْزَةَ قَالَ: نَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَائِذٍ قَالَ: نَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ قَالَ: نَا أَبُو عُثْمَانَ الْأَوْقَصُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنِ الْأَعْرَجِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
لَا تَزَالُونَ تُقَاتِلُونَ الْكُفَّارَ حَتَّى تُقَاتِلُونَ قَوْمًا صِغَارَ الْأَعْيُنِ، ذُلْفَ الْأُنُوفِ، كَأَنَّ وُجُوهَهُمُ الْمَجَانُّ الْمُطْرَقَةُ
