Hadith 689

eople from the clan of Umayya would be defeated until they join up with the land of Rome. They would seek to its king to let them enter into it. The king would say to them, ‘You will not enter until you enter into our religion and marry us, and we marry you, and you eat the meat of pigs and drink the wine, and hang the crucifix in your necks, and the belts in your waists’. They would accept that, so they would let them enter. Al-Qaim-ajfj would send (a message) to them: ‘Bring them out, the ones whom you have let enter! ’ They would say, ‘They are a people desirous regarding our religion and are abstaining from your-ajfj religion’. He-ajfj would say: ‘If you do not expel them, we shall place the sword among you all! ’ They would say to him-ajfj, ‘This is the Book of Allah-azwj between us and you all! ’ He-ajfj would say: ‘I‑ajfj agree with it! ’
They would come out to him-ajfj. He-ajfj would recite to them, and there would be among his-ajfj conditions which he-ajfj would stipulate upon them that they would hand over to him-ajfj the one who had entered to them reneging from, and he-ajfj will not return to them the one who had gone out from them, desirous to. So when the letter is read out to them and they see this stipulated condition necessitated for them, they would expel them to him-ajfj. He-ajfj will kill the men and slit the bellies of the pregnant women and raise the crucifixes in the spears’. He-asws said: ‘By Allah-azwj! It is as if I-asws am looking at him-ajfj and to his-ajfj companions apportioning the Dinars at Al-Juhfa. Then Rome will become Muslim upon his-ajfj hand. He-ajfj will build a Masjid among them and appoint a man from his-ajfj companions upon them, then he-ajfj will leave’’. [308]
