حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُوسَى الرَّازِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنَا ح، وَحَدَّثَنَا عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، - الْمَعْنَى وَأَنَا لِحَدِيثِهِ، أَتْقَنُ - عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ، ‏:‏ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ سُلَيْمٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ جَابِرٍ الطَّائِيِّ، عَنِ ابْنِ أَخِي أَبِي أَيُّوبَ الأَنْصَارِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي أَيُّوبَ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم يَقُولُ ‏:‏ ‏ "‏ سَتُفْتَحُ عَلَيْكُمُ الأَمْصَارُ، وَسَتَكُونُ جُنُودٌ مُجَنَّدَةٌ تُقْطَعُ عَلَيْكُمْ فِيهَا بُعُوثٌ فَيَكْرَهُ الرَّجُلُ مِنْكُمُ الْبَعْثَ فِيهَا فَيَتَخَلَّصُ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ ثُمَّ يَتَصَفَّحُ الْقَبَائِلَ يَعْرِضُ نَفْسَهُ عَلَيْهِمْ يَقُولُ ‏:‏ مَنْ أَكْفِيهِ بَعْثَ كَذَا، مَنْ أَكْفِيهِ بَعْثَ كَذَا أَلاَ وَذَلِكَ الأَجِيرُ إِلَى آخِرِ قَطْرَةٍ مِنْ دَمِهِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏

Narrated AbuAyyub al-Ansari: AbuAyyub heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: Capitals will be conquered at your hands, and you will have to raise companies in large armies. A man will be unwilling to join a company, so he will escape from his people and go round the tribes offering himself to them, saying: Whose place may I take in such and such expedition? Whose place may I take in such and such expedition? Beware: That man is a hireling to the last drop of his blood

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #2525 in Sunan Abi Dawud.

[Isnad Grading & Assessment]: Scholar verdicts : Al-Albani: Daif | Muhammad Muhyi Al-Din Abdul Hamid: Daif | Shuaib Al Arnaut: Daif | Zubair Ali Zai: Daif.

[Core Subject]: In the hardest days, when the Muslims were few and besieged, the Prophet ﷺ foretold that they would conquer Persia, Rome, Yemen, Sham, Iraq, Egypt and Jerusalem.

[Described Characteristics]: While digging the trench around Madinah, he struck a rock and said he had been given the keys of Sham, Persia and Yemen. He told Adi ibn Hatim that a woman would travel alone from al-Hirah to the Ka'bah fearing no one but Allah, and that the treasures of Kisra would be spent in the path of Allah. Adi lived to see both. He told Suraqah he would wear Kisra's bracelets; Umar put them on him.

[Timeline & Context]: They came in the first decades after the Prophet ﷺ: Jerusalem in 15-16 AH, Egypt in 20-21 AH, and Persia by about 31 AH.

[Prophetic Practice]: Hope in Allah's promise even in the narrowest times, as the Companions did at the trench.
