Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاوِيَةُ بْنُ عَمْرٍو حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو إِسْحَاقَ يَعْنِي الْفَزَارِيَّ عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ سَمُرَةَ عَنْ نَافِعِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ قَالَ كُنْتُ مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي غَزَاةٍ فَأَتَاهُ قَوْمٌ مِنْ قِبَلِ الْمَغْرِبِ عَلَيْهِمْ ثِيَابُ الصُّوفِ فَوَافَقُوهُ عِنْدَ أَكَمَةٍ وَهُمْ قِيَامٌ وَهُوَ قَاعِدٌ فَأَتَيْتُهُ فَقُمْتُ بَيْنَهُمْ وَبَيْنَهُ فَحَفِظْتُ مِنْهُ أَرْبَعَ كَلِمَاتٍ أَعُدُّهُنَّ فِي يَدِي قَالَ تَغْزُونَ جَزِيرَةَ الْعَرَبِ فَيَفْتَحُهَا اللَّهُ ثُمَّ تَغْزُونَ فَارِسَ فَيَفْتَحُهَا اللَّهُ ثُمَّ تَغْزُونَ الرُّومَ فَيَفْتَحُهَا اللَّهُ ثُمَّ تَغْزُونَ الدَّجَّالَ فَيَفْتَحُهُ اللَّهُ قَالَ نَافِعٌ يَا جَابِرُ أَلَا تَرَى أَنَّ الدَّجَّالَ لَا يَخْرُجُ حَتَّى تُفْتَحَ الرُّومُ.
English Translation
Mu'awiyah bin Amr told us: Abu Ishaq - meaning al-Fazari - told us, from Abdul Malik bin Umayr, from Jabir bin Samurah, from Nafi' bin Utbah, who said: I was with the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, on a military expedition, when a group of people came to him from the west, wearing woolen garments. They met him at a hillock while they were standing and he was sitting. So I came and stood between them and him, and I memorized from him four words which I count on my hand. He said: "You will fight the Arabian Peninsula and Allah will grant its conquest; then you will fight Persia and Allah will grant its conquest; then you will fight Rome and Allah will grant its conquest; then you will fight the Dajjal and Allah will grant his defeat." Nafi' said: O Jabir, do you not see that the Dajjal will not emerge until Rome is conquered?
