English translation
[7278] 34 - (2897) It was narrated from Abû Hurairah that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "The Hour will not begin until the Byzantines camp at Al-A'mâq or Dâbiq,[1] and an army composed of the best people on earth at that time will go out from Al-Madînah to meet them. When they arrange themselves in ranks, the Byzantines will say: 'Do not stand between us and those who took prisoners from us; let us fight them.' The Muslims will say: 'No by Allâh, we will never let you reach our brothers.' Then they will fight them, and one-third will flee, whose repentance will never be accepted by Allâh; one-third will be killed, and they are the best of martyrs before Allâh; and one-third will prevail and will never succumb to any Fitnah, and they will conquer Constantinople. While they are dividing the spoils, having hung their swords on the olive trees, the Shaitân will shout out among them: Al-Masih has taken your place among your families. So they will march, but that will be false news. When they reach Ash-Shâm, he will emerge, and while they are still preparing for battle, drawing up their ranks, the Iqâmah for prayer will be called, and 'Eisâ bin Mariam ﷺ will descend, and will lead them. When the enemy of Allâh sees him, he will melt as salt melts in water. If he left him alone, he would still melt until he was destroyed, but Allâh will kill him by his hand, and he will show them his blood on his lance."
