2216. Abū Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "When Kisrā is ruined, there will be no Kisrā after him, and when Caesar is ruined, there will be no Caesar after him. By the One in Whose Hand is my soul! You shall spend their treasures in Allāh's cause." (Ṣaḥīḥ) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadith is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ.

Arabic text

٢٢١٦ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌سَعِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌سُفْيَانُ، عَنِ ‌الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ ‌سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ، عَنْ ‌أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِذَا هَلَكَ كِسْرَى» فَلَا كِسْرَى بَعْدَهُ، وَإِذَا هَلَكَ قَيْصَرُ فَلَا قَيْصَرَ بَعْدَهُ، وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ لَتُنْفَقَنَّ كُنُوزُهُمَا فِي سَبِيلِ اللهِ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

Commentary

Kisrā (Khusrau) was the title given to the kings of Iran while Qaisar (Caesar) was the title of the Roman kings. Even as the Prophet ﷺ had foretold, once the incumbent kings Khusrau and Caesar living in those days were vanquished and their treasures fell into the hands of Muslims, no ruler in the world has ever after been given either of these two titles.
