Sayyiduna Abu Bakrah narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned the land of Basrah and said: On one side of it is a river called Dijlah (Tigris), and there are many date palms there. The Banu Qantura (i.e., the Turks) will come and settle there, and the Muslims will be divided into three groups: one group will join their origin (i.e., will become occupied with their fields and cattle), these people will be destroyed; the second group will remain aloof, these people will become disbelievers; and one group will leave their wives and children behind and will fight, their slain will be martyrs, then Allah Almighty will grant victory to the remaining ones. Once, while narrating this hadith, Yazid bin Harun was uncertain whether it was Basirah or Basrah.
