English Translation
Salamah ibn Nufayl said: "While I was sitting with the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him), a man came and said: 'O Messenger of Allah, the horses have been let loose and the weapons put away, and some people claim that there is no more fighting and that the war has laid down its burdens.' The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: 'They have lied! Now the fighting has come. There will never cease to be a group from my nation fighting in the cause of Allah; those who oppose them will not harm them. Allah will cause the hearts of some people to deviate so that He may provide for them through those (enemies), and they will fight until the Hour comes. The good will remain tied in the forelocks of horses until the Hour comes. And war will not lay down its burdens until Gog and Magog emerge.'"
