With 8000 Army He Conquered Spain(Aundlas)..

It is reported that when Tāriq bin Ziyād slept on the river bank he saw a dream. In the dream he saw the Prophet ‎ﷺ with Abū Bakr al-Siddīq, ‘Umar al-Fārūq, ‘Uthmān al-Ghanī and ‘Alī al-Murtadā crossing the river by walking over it. Upon narrating the story, Tariq bin Ziyād said:
“As the Prophet ‎ﷺ crossed the river, it means that he ‎ﷺ gave gladtidings that Spain will be conquered.”

Then bin Ziyād decided to burn his ships. ‘Allāma Iqbāl said about this historic event that when he burned the ships his whole army offended him and asked. Where is it written in Islamic law to burn ships?! Where is it written to finish the resources?

Upon answering Tāriq bin Ziyād laughed and said by raising his sword, the whole land belongs to Allāh, we have not come to return, we will only return after conquering Spain!

The great commander and his army then went on to conquer present-day Portugal and Spain!
