Kitab al-Fitan of Nu'aym ibn Hammad: ungraded, and weak overall. Never established on its own.

حدثنا هشيم، عن سيار أبي الحكم، عن جبر بن عبيدة، عن أبي هريرة، رضي الله عنه قال: «وعدنا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم غزوة الهند، فإن أدركتها أنفقت فيها نفسي ومالي، فإن استشهدت كنت من أفضل الشهداء، وإن رجعت فأنا أبو هريرة المحرر»

It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said:"The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) promised us (a) battle expedition (in) India. If I live to see that, I will expend myself and my wealth in it. If I am killed, I will be one of the best of the martyrs, and if I come back, I will be Abu Hurairah Al-Muharrar." [1] [1] Al-Muharrar: The one freed (from the Fire)

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #1237 in Kitab al-Fitan (Nu'aym ibn Hammad).

[Scholarly Verification Notice]: Recorded in Nu'aym ibn Hammad's Kitab al-Fitan (d. 228 AH). Hadith scholars classify this historical compilation as ungraded and weak overall; its isolated reports are not accepted as established doctrine unless corroborated by standard Sahih works.

[Core Subject]: Ghazwat al-Hind is an expedition to al-Hind (the Indian subcontinent) that the Prophet ﷺ promised, with great reward for those who take part.

[Described Characteristics]: In the hadith of Thawban, which al-Albani graded sahih, two groups of the ummah are protected from the Fire: one that fights in al-Hind, and one that will be with Isa ibn Maryam. The narrations of Abu Hurayrah on the same subject have weak chains.

[Timeline & Context]: The sahih text gives no time. Scholars differ: some say it was fulfilled by the early campaigns into Sindh (Muhammad ibn al-Qasim, 92 AH) and later ones; others connect it with the time of Isa (AS) because the two groups are named together.

[Prophetic Practice]: Read the narration with its grade, and be wary of anyone who uses it to stir hatred between neighbours.

[Geographical Locations]: Mentioned in narration : India (al-Hind).

[Corroborating & Parallel Hadiths]: Related narrations in the corpus: Sunan an-Nasa'i (3173).

أَخْبَرَنِي أَحْمَدُ بْنُ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ حَكِيمٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا زَكَرِيَّا بْنُ عَدِيٍّ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عَمْرٍو، عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَبِي أُنَيْسَةَ، عَنْ سَيَّارٍ، ح قَالَ وَأَنْبَأَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، عَنْ سَيَّارٍ، عَنْ جَبْرِ بْنِ عَبِيدَةَ، - وَقَالَ عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ عَنْ جُبَيْرٍ، - عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ وَعَدَنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم غَزْوَةَ الْهِنْدِ فَإِنْ أَدْرَكْتُهَا أُنْفِقْ فِيهَا نَفْسِي وَمَالِي فَإِنْ أُقْتَلْ كُنْتُ مِنْ أَفْضَلِ الشُّهَدَاءِ وَإِنْ أَرْجِعْ فَأَنَا أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ الْمُحَرَّرُ ‏.‏
