Translation of 1 text: Mohammed's prophecy on Spain.
The prophet Mohammad, may God bless Him and grant Him salvation, said:
- I will lead you unto an island of piety
They replied :
- Yes, O Prophet of God.
He said:
There is an island in the West they call Andalusia; it will be inhabited until the end of time by a group of people from my following of believers. Indeed, guarding the frontier one night and one day is, in the eyes of God, Praise the Lord, as if we adored Him forever. For he who sleeps with his flock, it is as if he had fasted for all time, and he remains in a state of grace even when he leaves the flock. A happy destiny awaits he who will reach it at the end of time and God, Praise the Lord, will raise a wind such that will take away the inhabitants to Jerusalem [in the text; the holy place]
They say that the Prophet, may God bless Him and grant Him salvation, said;
- A man of my religious following will rise up on the day of Judgment and launch the holy war, following the path of God.
We do not know when the Day of Judgment will be, but the mountains shall then become valleys.
They also say that the Prophet, may God bless Him and grant Him salvation, said:
Andalusia possesses four of the gates to Paradise, one called Faylonoata, the second Lorca, the third Tortosa and the last Guadalajara.
At the Mecca, Mohammad Bnu Qatil said one day,
For those from Andalusia, by He who holds my person in His power! Guarding the frontier a single day and a single night is better than making twelve pilgrimages in the right month.
Abdu al-Malik Bnu Habib also said:
- I asked a question about the people who will live the first events announcing Judgment in Andalusia. And another asked me a question about the green mosque, I told him of its location and he said:
- O Abut Marwan! I will give you sure information on the Day of Judgment, the muezzin will commence the call to prayer, in the evening, he will preach in Andalusia and announce that Islam will never be chased from this place, and that the enemies will never conquer it.
God's Prophet, may God bless Him and grant Him salvation, said:
- We do not know the details of the holy war that will take place in the west but we know that it will commence on that island called Andalusia which, by He who holds my person in His power! As my brother Gabriel told me during my sleep, will be conquered after my death, the living ones will know happiness and the dead ones will die as martyrs. The Day of Judgment will be announced by seventy-two signs, and each sign will produce seventy-two thousand deaths that will be blessed by neither the sword nor the lance.
Omar Ibn al-Hattab, may God have pity on him, also said:
- Who shall these martyrs be?
The Prophet Mohammad, may God bless Him and grant Him salvation, replied:
- They are foreigners to my following, the inhabitants of land's end; and, by He who holds my person in His power ! Guarding the frontier a day and a night in the war of Muslims is more loved by me than the Night of Destiny.
God's messenger, may God bless Him and grant Him salvation, also said that Andalusia is made of the valleys that form Paradise, and a part of His followers said:
- O Lord, let us participate in this beside them in the path to good.
God's messenger, may God bless Him and grand Him salvation, replied:
- How may you profit from the good that escapes them since you share neither their pain nor their anguish?
Gabriel told me, may God grant him salvation, that the people would die from unreason that will make them suffer their enemies and they shall buy rotten grain.
Ikrima Ibn Abbas and God's messenger Mohammad said:
- But one day the troops of the pork-eating idol-worshippers will conquer the troops of truth and real faith in the island of Andalusia, which will be conquered after my death.
Ibn Abbas, may God have pity on him, tells us that one day he prayed with God's messenger, may God bless Him and grant Him salvation, it was the sunset prayer and, when they had finished, he concentrated on the muezzin's voice, he looked west and began to cry with hot tears.
Ibu Abbas, may God have pity on him, said then:
- O messenger of God, why did you cry until you soaked the hairs of your beard with your tears?
The Prophet Mohammad, may God bless Him and grant Him salvation, replied:
- I cried because my Lord made me see an island, that is called Andalusia, and this island shall be most beautiful [?] island peopled with Muslims, and it shall be the first one they shall be chased from.
Abd Allah said then :
- O, messenger of God! How will the oneness of God be vanquished, Praise be the Lord?
The Prophet replied that God would send a guide to defend the true religion against other religions, at the expense of the infidels.
The Prophet said:
- In truth, in certain conditions, only very few of them will convert the world to the true religion, and will spread the message of the Koran in all the world.
