Hadith 37:243

Yazid ibn Harun narrated to us, he said: Al-Awwam ibn Hawshab informed us, he said: Sa'id ibn Jumhan narrated to me, from Ibn Abi Bakrah, from his father, who said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) mentioned a land called Al-Basrah or Al-Basirah, next to which is a river called the Tigris, which has many palm trees. The Banu Qantura will descend upon it. The people will then divide into three groups: a group that will join their origins and perish; a group that will take upon themselves [to save themselves] and disbelieve; and a group that will place their offspring behind their backs and fight. Their slain will be martyrs, and Allah will grant victory to those who remain of them.

حدثنا يزيد بن هارون قال أخبرنا العوام بن حوشب قال حدثني سعيد بن جمهان عن بن أبي بكرة عن أبيه قال ذكر رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم أرضا يقال لها البصرة أو البصيرة إلى جنبها نهر يقال له دجلة ذو نخل كثيرة ينزل به بنو قنطوراء فتفترق الناس ثلاث فرق فرقة تلحق بأصلها وهلكوا وفرقة تأخذ على أنفسها وكفروا وفرقة يجعلون ذراريهم خلف ظهورهم فيقاتلون قتلاهم شهداء يفتح الله على بقيتهم
