حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرُ بْنُ مُسَافِرٍ التِّنِّيسِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا خَلَّادُ بْنُ يَحْيَی حَدَّثَنَا بَشِيرُ بْنُ الْمُهَاجِرِ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ بُرَيْدَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي حَدِيثِ يُقَاتِلُکُمْ قَوْمٌ صِغَارُ الْأَعْيُنِ يَعْنِي التُّرْکَ قَالَ تَسُوقُونَهُمْ ثَلَاثَ مِرَارٍ حَتَّی تُلْحِقُوهُمْ بِجَزِيرَةِ الْعَرَبِ فَأَمَّا فِي السِّيَاقَةِ الْأُولَی فَيَنْجُو مَنْ هَرَبَ مِنْهُمْ وَأَمَّا فِي الثَّانِيَةِ فَيَنْجُو بَعْضٌ وَيَهْلَکُ بَعْضٌ وَأَمَّا فِي الثَّالِثَةِ فَيُصْطَلَمُونَ أَوْ کَمَا قَالَ
سنن ابودوٗد · Hadith 4305
Buraidah said: In the tradition telling that people with small eyes, i. e. the Turks, will fight against you, the prophet ﷺ said: You will drive them off three times till you catch up with them in Arabia. On the first occasion when you drive them off those who fly will be safe, on the second occasion some will be safe and some will perish, but on the third occasion they will be extirpated, or he said words to that effect.
