حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا عِيسَى بْنُ يُونُسَ، عَنِ الأَوْزَاعِيِّ، عَنْ حَسَّانَ بْنِ عَطِيَّةَ، قَالَ مَالَ مَكْحُولٌ وَابْنُ أَبِي زَكَرِيَّا إِلَى خَالِدِ بْنِ مَعْدَانَ وَمِلْتُ مَعَهُمَا فَحَدَّثَنَا عَنْ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ، قَالَ قَالَ لِي جُبَيْرٌ انْطَلِقْ بِنَا إِلَى ذِي مِخْمَرٍ - وَكَانَ رَجُلاً مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ - فَانْطَلَقْتُ مَعَهُمَا فَسَأَلَهُ عَنِ الْهُدْنَةِ فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ـ صلى الله عليه وسلم ـ يَقُولُ
" سَتُصَالِحُكُمُ الرُّومُ صُلْحًا آمِنًا ثُمَّ تَغْزُونَ أَنْتُمْ وَهُمْ عَدُوًّا فَتُنْصَرُونَ وَتَغْنَمُونَ وَتَسْلَمُونَ ثُمَّ تَنْصَرِفُونَ حَتَّى تَنْزِلُوا بِمَرْجٍ ذِي تُلُولٍ فَيَرْفَعُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الصَّلِيبِ الصَّلِيبَ فَيَقُولُ غَلَبَ الصَّلِيبُ . فَيَغْضَبُ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فَيَقُومُ إِلَيْهِ فَيَدُقُّهُ فَعِنْدَ ذَلِكَ تَغْدِرُ الرُّومُ وَيَجْتَمِعُونَ لِلْمَلْحَمَةِ " .
“Jubair said to me:
‘Let’s go to Dhu Mikhmar, who was a man from among the Companions
of
the Prophet (ﷺ).’ So I went with them and he asked him about
the
peace treaty (with the Romans). He said: ‘I heard the Prophet
(ﷺ)
say: “The Romans will enter into a peace treaty with you,
then you and
they will fight one another as enemies, and you will be
victorious;
you will collect the spoils of war and be safe. Then you
will come
back until you stop in a meadow with many hillocks. A man
from among
the people of the Cross will raise the Cross and will say:
‘The Cross
has prevailed.’ Then a man among the Muslims will
become angry and
will go and break the Cross. Then the Romans will
prove treacherous
(breaking the treaty) (and will gather) for the
fierce battle.”
Narrated by It was narrated that Jubair bin Nufair said:
Context
In this hadith, Jubair bin Nufair recounts a conversation about a prophecy made by the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ regarding a future peace treaty with the Romans. The narrative suggests a sequence of events where Muslims will initially experience victory but ultimately face treachery from their adversaries. This hadith reflects themes of conflict and the dynamics of trust in international relations.
Modern Application
The principle illustrated here can be seen in contemporary discussions about peace treaties and alliances. It serves as a reminder that trust must be established and maintained in any agreement, as betrayal can lead to conflict. Understanding historical precedents can help inform our approach to modern diplomacy.
Topics
This hadith is tagged with Military Might and Warfare and Historical Prophetic Events because it discusses future military engagements and the implications of treaties as foretold by the Prophet ﷺ.

They ask you about the sacred month - about fighting therein. Say, "Fighting therein is great [sin], but averting [people] from the way of Allah and disbelief in Him and [preventing access to] al-Masjid al-Haram and the expulsion of its people therefrom are greater [evil] in the sight of Allah. And fitnah is greater than killing." And they will continue to fight you until they turn you back from your religion if they are able. And whoever of you reverts from his religion [to disbelief] and dies while he is a disbeliever - for those, their deeds have become worthless in this world and the Hereafter, and those are the companions of the Fire, they will abide therein eternally.
