Narrated by Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him): The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "The Hour will not be established until the Muslims fight the Jews, and the Muslims will kill them. And the stones will say: 'O Muslim, there is a Jew behind me, come and kill him.' This is until the tree of Al-Gharqad says so." The narrator mentioned a similar hadith from Abu Hurayrah, that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "O Allah, grant victory to the Ummah of Muhammad with a mighty victory." (Sunan Abi Dawud 1171). This specific phrase is an invocation for general victory and support for the Ummah.
