Kitab al-Fitan · Nu'aym ibn Hammad

Abd al-Khaliq bin Zaid bin Waqid told us, on the authority of his father, on the authority of Makhul, on the authority of the Prophet (may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him) who said: “The Turks have two exits: one exit, they go out to Azerbaijan, and the second they tie their horses to the Euphrates, and there is no leaving after that.”

The Turks have two campaigns: one of them is to destroy Azerbaijan, and the second is to start it on the banks of the Euphrates.
