Yes, the Romans' lions will beat in the alleys of Elijah, yes, until they will not have a path from the countryside. If Allah wills, He will reveal it. Then Allah will defeat them, and they will march on, and no one will stop them. And the mules will rise on that day to a burden the likes of which they have never raised, and they will never rise again, until they reach Medina, and the day has gone with a group from it, and a group will remain and they will conquer it, and each people will take on their side.

Then they set off for the land of the Romans and conquer its fortresses and cities with the takbir, until they come to the city of Heraclius and find its bay with Batha. Then they open it with the takbir. They say the takbir, and one of its walls falls. Then they say the takbir another, and another wall falls, and its sea wall remains unfallen. Then they seek protection from Rome and open it with the takbir, and on that day they will sway their spoils. Enough of deceit
