What was mentioned about war with Rome
Sunan Abi Dawud
حَدَّثَنَا مُؤَمَّلُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ الْحَرَّانِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَمْرٍو، عَنْ حَسَّانَ بْنِ عَطِيَّةَ، بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ زَادَ فِيهِ " وَيَثُورُ الْمُسْلِمُونَ إِلَى أَسْلِحَتِهِمْ فَيَقْتَتِلُونَ فَيُكْرِمُ اللَّهُ تِلْكَ الْعِصَابَةَ بِالشَّهَادَةِ " . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ إِلاَّ أَنَّ الْوَلِيدَ جَعَلَ الْحَدِيثَ عَنْ جُبَيْرٍ عَنْ ذِي مِخْبَرٍ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم . قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ وَرَوَاهُ رَوْحٌ وَيَحْيَى بْنُ حَمْزَةَ وَبِشْرُ بْنُ بَكْرٍ عَنِ الأَوْزَاعِيِّ كَمَا قَالَ عِيسَى .
The tradition mentioned above has also been transmitted by Hassan b. ’Atiyyah through a different chain of narrators. This version add: The Muslims will then make for their weapons and will fight, and Allah will honor that body with martryrdom. Abu Dawud said: But al-Walid has narrated this tradition from Dhu Mikhbar from the Prophet (ﷺ). Abu Dawud said: Rawh, Yahya bin Hamzah and Bishr bin Bakr has also transmitted it from al-Awza'i as mentioned by 'Isa.
