Narrated Dhu Mikhbar: Hassan ibn Atiyyah said: Makhul and Ibn Zakariyya went to Khalid ibn Ma'dan, and I also went along with them. He reported a tradition on the authority of Jubayr ibn Nufayr. He said: Go with us to Dhu Mikhbar, a man from the Companions of the Prophet (peace_be_upon_him). We came to him and Jubayr asked him about peace. He said: I heard the Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) say: You will make a secure peace with the Byzantines, then you and they will fight an enemy behind you.
