In The Name Of Allah Most Gracious Most Merciful Iran-Iraq War: "A nation / tribe will be coming forth from the Farsi direction, saying : "You Arabs ! You have been too zealous! If you don't give them their due rights, nobody will have alliance with you… It must be given to them one day and to you the following day and mutual promises must be kept…" They will be going up Mutekh ; Muslims will be coming down to the plain… Mushrikun will be standing over there on the bank of a black river called (Rakabeh) on the other side. There will be a war between them. Allah will deprive both armies of a victory…" (Signs of the Judgment Day, Al Barzeenji, p. 179)
There will be tumult in Shawwal (the tenth Islamic month), talks of war in Dhul-Qa`dah (the eleventh Islamic month), and the outbreak of war in Dhul-Hijjah (the twelfth month). (Allamah Muhaqqiq Ash-Sharif Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Rasul, Al-Isaatu li Asrat'is-saat, p. 166)
The three months referred to in this hadith coincide with the months during which the Iran-Iraq war developed. The first uprising against the Shah took place on 5 Shawwal 1398 (8 September 1976), as indicated by the hadith, and a full-blown war broke out between Iran and Iraq in Dhu'l-Hijjah 1400 (October 1980).
Note: - those coming from the Farsi direction -- those coming from the Iranian side - Farsi -- Iran, Iranian (Grand Dictionary) - Coming down to the plain -- Plain, Iranian Plain - Mutekh -- Name of a mountain in the region - Rakabeh -- Region where oil wells are concentrateddd This hadith draws attention that a racial dispute would break out. Because of this dispute, the sides come down to the plain (Iranian Plain) and then, a war gets under way. Further, as noted by the hadith, the Iran - Iraq war lasted for 8 years and despite thousands of casualties were inflicted, no result was forthcoming for both sides. None of both sides could have a decisive superiority.
The Messenger of God said: “The Banu al-Asfar (the Byzantines) and the Franks will gather together in the wasteland with Egypt against a man whose name is Sadim (Saddam)-- none of them will return.” They said: “When, O Messenger of God?” He said: “Between the months of Jumada and Rajab, and you see an amazing thing come of it”.’ (The origin of the "hadeeth" (it is probably a spurious rephrase of some classical material) is the Palestinian newspaper "al-Nahar" from Dec. 15, 1990.)
Those Shias who are kafir... Those who hold beliefs that constitute disbelief (kufr), such as having the belief that the Quran has been altered, Sayyiduna Ali (Allah be pleased with him) is God, the angel Jibril made an error in descending with the revelation on the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace) rather than Sayyiduna Ali (Allah be pleased with him), accusing Sayyida Aisha (Allah be pleased with her) of committing adultery
Those who are not kafir/mushrikeen are...
Those who do not hold
beliefs that constitute Kufr, such as believing that Sayyiduna Ali (Allah be pleased
with him) was the rightful first Caliph after the demise of the Messenger of Allah,
belief in the twelve Imams, etc…
Allah Knows Best
