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.
