Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shaybah narrated to us; ‘Isa ibn Yunus narrated to us, from al-Awza‘i, from Hassan ibn ‘Atiyyah, who said: Makhul and Ibn Abi Zakariyya went to Khalid ibn Ma‘dan, and I went with them. He narrated to us from Jubayr ibn Nufayr, who said: Jubayr told me, “Come with us to Dhu Mikhmar”—a man who was one of the Prophet’s Companions. I went with them, and he asked him about the truce. Dhu Mikhmar said: I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) say: “You will make a secure truce with the Romans. Then you and they will fight an enemy and be victorious; you will take spoils and remain safe. Then you will depart until you camp in a meadow of many hillocks. A man from among the people of the Cross will raise the cross and say, ‘The cross has prevailed.’ A Muslim man will become angry, rise, and smash it. At that point the Romans will betray the treaty and gather for the great battle.”
