Mishkat al-Masabih 5431
Book 27: Fitan
Buraida told that in the tradition telling that people with small eyes, i.e. the Turks, would fight with them, the Prophet (ﷺ) said, “You will drive them off three times till you catch up with them in Arabia. On the first occasion when you drive them off those who fly will be safe, on the second occasion some will be safe and some will perish, but on the third occasion they will be extirpated,” or words to that effect.
Abu Dawud transmitted it.
وَعَنْ بُرَيْدَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي حَدِيثٍ: «يُقَاتِلُكُمْ قَوْمٌ صِغَارُ الْأَعْيُنِ» يَعْنِي التّرْك. قَالَ: «تسوقونهم ثَلَاث مَرَّات حَتَّى تلحقوهم بِجَزِيرَة الْعَرَب فَأَما السِّيَاقَةِ الْأُولَى فَيَنْجُو مَنْ هَرَبَ مِنْهُمْ وَأَمَّا الثَّانِيَة فينجو بعض وَيهْلك بعض وَأما الثَّالِثَةِ فَيُصْطَلَمُونَ» أَوْ كَمَا قَالَ. رَوَاهُ أَبُو دَاوُد
