Then Allâh’s Messenger ﷺslept and afterwards woke up smiling. Umm Harâm asked: “What causes you to smile, O Messenger of Allâhﷺ?” He said: “Some of my followers (in a dream) were presented before me as fighters in Allâh’s Cause (on board of a ship) amidst the sea, causes me to smile; they were as kings on the thrones (or like kings on the thrones.”) (Ishâq a sub-narrator is not sure as to which expression the Prophet used.) Umm Harâm said: “O Allâh’s Messengerﷺ! Pray to Allâh that He makes me one of them.” Allâh’s Messengerﷺ invoked Allâh for her and slept again and woke up smiling.

8.Nabi Pakﷺ telling about Fighting the Turks in the future:

Imâm al-Bukhârî narrated on the authority of Abû Hurairah who said: “The Prophet ﷺ said: “The Hour will not be established till you fight a nation wearing shoes made of hair, and till you fight the Turks, who will have small eyes, red faces and flat noses: and their faces will be like flat shields. And you will find that the best people are those who hate responsibility of ruling most of all till they are chosen to be the rulers. And the people are of different natures: The best in the pre-Islâmic period are the best in Islâm. A time will come when any of you will love to see me rather than to have his family and property doubled.
