This part of the had ith states that a dis pute will arise be tween the
two sides, stem ming from ex treme na tion al ism. Because of that dis pute,
they will de scend to Yazi (the Plain of Iraq), and war will be gin.
"Allah will not give vic to ry to any one of the ar mies..."
Further, as not ed by the had ith, the Iran-Iraq war last ed for eight
years. Despite the many thou sands of cas u al ties, nei ther side could claim
vic to ry or a de ci sive su pe ri or i ty.

3. A great battle between the Tigris and the Euphrates:

There will be a city called Zawra [Baghdad] be tween the Tigris and the
Euphrates. There will be a great bat tle there. Women will be tak en pris -
on er, and men will have their throats cut like sheep. (Muntakhab Kanz
al-'Ummal, vol. 5, p. 38.)

Quite like ly, this had ith calls at ten tion to the Iran-Iraq war, which
saw many great clash es be tween these two Muslim coun tries. Heavy
bom bard ments re duced vil la ges, towns, and cit ies to rub ble. Women, eld -
er ly peo ple, and chil dren lost their lives. After the war, the mass graves
un cov ered that the cas u al ties were far high er than an tic i pat ed. The fact
that conflict, disorder and anarchy are still going on in the region is in
complete agreement with the hadith.
