English translation

3179. It was narrated from Abû Hurairah that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "The Hour will not begin until the Muslims fight the Turks, a people with faces like hammered shields who wear clothes made of hair and shoes made of hair." (Sahîh)

Arabic text

3177 - أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا يَعْقُوبُ، عَنْ سُهَيْلٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «لَا تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ حَتَّى يُقَاتِلَ الْمُسْلِمُونَ التُّرْكَ قَوْمًا وُجُوهُهُمْ كَالْمَجَانِّ الْمُطْرَقَةِ، يَلْبَسُونَ الشَّعَرَ، وَيَمْشُونَ فِي الشَّعَرِ»

Commentary

1. 'Their faces' means they would be insolently stern and thick, as if hide is mounted over iron. 2. Since the Turks are the inhabitants of cold regions, they need to wear furred clothes and shoes.
