Jami at-Tirmidhi 3193 (Book 47, Hadith 245) #28842
Victory of People of The Book

SUMMARY: The hadith is about the Romans and Persians, and how the Muslims wanted the Romans to be victorious over the Persians because they were people of the Book. It also talks about how Allah helped them in their victory.

Narrated Sa'eed bin Jubair: from Ibn 'Abbas, regarding the saying of Allah, Most High: Alif Lam Mim. The Romans have been defeated. In the nearest land (30:1-3)" he said: "Ghulibat wa Ghalabat (defeated and then victorious)". He said: "The idolaters wanted the Persians to be victorious over the Romans because they too were people who worshiped idols, while the Muslims wanted the Romans to be victorious over the Persians because they were people of the Book. This was mentioned to Abu Bakr, so Abu Bakr mentioned that to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and he said: 'They will certainly prevail'. Abu Bakr mentioned that to them, and they said: 'Make a wager between us and you; if we win, we shall get this and that, and if you win, you shall get this or that'. He made the term five years, but they (the Romans) were not victorious. They mentioned that to the Prophet ﷺ and he said: "Why did you not make it less (than)" - He (one of the narrators said): I think he said: "ten?" He said: Sa'eed said: "Al-Bid' is what is less than then" - he said: "Afterwards the Romans have been victorious". He said: "That is what Allah Most High said: 'Alif Lam Mim. The Romans have been defeated' up to His saying: 'And on the day, the believers will rejoice - with the help of Allah. He helps whom He wills (30:1-5)'. Sufyan said: "I heard that they were victorious over them on the Day of Badr".

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about a conversation between Abu Bakr and Prophet Muhammad ﷺ regarding a battle between two nations, namely, the Romans and Persians. At that time, both nations were idolaters but Muslims wanted to see victory for those who followed God's teachings - which was the Roman nation. Prophet Muhammad ﷺ then made a wager with them that if they won, they would get something in return but if he won then he would get something else in return. After five years passed by without any result, Prophet Muhammad ﷺ said that Allah will help them win eventually which happened on Day of Badr when Allah granted them victory over their enemies. This hadith teaches us that we should always have faith in God's plan as He will always help us when we are struggling against our enemies or hardships in life.
