在突部战役期间,先知ﷺ对‘Awf ibn Mālik说:“在末日来临之前,你要数出六件事:我的去世、耶路撒冷的征服、两场致命的瘟疫(它们会像羊瘟一样夺走你们的生命)、财富将极其丰盈,以至于一个人被给予一百枚金币仍不满足、随后将出现一场没有一户阿拉伯人家不被波及的动乱,然后你们(穆斯林)与Banū al-Aṣfar(拜占庭人)将会订立停战协议,但他们会背信弃义,率领八十面旗帜向你们进军,每面旗帜下有一万二千名士兵。”ﷺ 耶路撒冷在先知ﷺ去世五年后,即伊历15年被征服;随后,伊历18年爆发了‘Amwās瘟疫,夺去了许多圣门弟子的生命。‘Uthmān哈里发在位期间,即伊历23年,由于各个战线的征服,出现了前所未有的财富盈余。至于那场不会放过任何一户阿拉伯人家的动乱,它发生在‘Uthmān被暗杀之后,即伊历37年,因为它引发了大量的分裂与混乱。至于拜占庭人的停战与灾祸,传统学者们似乎一致认为,这是关于末世的预言。

During the Battle of Tabūk, the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said to ‘Awf ibn Mālik , “Count six signs before the Hour; my death, the conquest of Jerusalem, two mortal plagues that will take you [in great numbers] as the plague of sheep [depletes them], then wealth will be in such surplus that a man will be given a hundred gold coins and still be unsatisfied, then there will be a tribulation that will not leave an Arab home without entering it, then there will be a truce between you (the Muslims) and Banū al-Aṣfar (the Byzantines) which they will betray, and march against you under eighty flags, and under each flag will be twelve thousand soldiers.”280 Jerusalem was conquered five years after his death صلى الله عليه وسلم, in the year 15H, followed by the plague of ‘Amwās in 18H which took the lives of many Companions. An unprecedented surplus of wealth was experienced during the caliphate of ‘Uthmān , 23H, as a result of conquests on every front. As for the tribulation that would spare no Arab home, this took place following the assassination of ‘Uthmān, 37H, for it resulted in much dissent and disorder. As for the truce and scourge of the Byzantines, traditional scholars seem to agree that this is a prophecy about the end-times.
