It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin al-As (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said: "Soon Banu Qanturah (the Turks) will expel you from the land of Iraq." I said: Will we then return? He said: "Is that what you want? Then you will return, and you will have ease of life there." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it; and by Banu Qanturah is meant the Turks.
