Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
The hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him)
You will make a secure peace with the Byzantines, then you and they will fight an enemy behind you.تصالحون الروم صلحا آمنا وتغزون عدوا من ورائكم
Sunan Abi Dawud 2767Sahih (Al-Albani)
in which it says, "Allah will help you against them," was narrated by Imam Ahmad in the Musnad with a sound chain. Do we say that the intended meaning of this hadith is the war in Iraq after the truce with the Romans?

The Shaykh:
It will be sent, and it will come at a time that the one for whom Allah the Exalted has made it true did not see it. What the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) decreed will occur, and it is a sound hadith, narrated by Abu Dawud, Ahmad, and a group of others. Yes.

The questioner:
Is it permissible for us to believe it?

The Shaykh:
We believe the hadith, regarding the good of the matter of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).

The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
