It is narrated from Hazrat Dhu Makhmar (may Allah be pleased with him) that I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Soon the Romans will make a peace treaty with you, then you and they will fight together against a common enemy. You will be victorious in that battle and will return safe and sound with spoils of war. When you reach a place called Dhi Tulul, a Christian will raise a cross and say, "The cross has prevailed." At this, a Muslim will become angry and will stand up to respond to him. From there, the Romans will break the treaty and begin preparing for war. They will gather together and attack you, coming under eighty banners, under each banner will be ten thousand horsemen.
