FASCINATION TO CONQUER INDIA
FASCINATION to conquer Ancient India (Bharat) was 'Perennial' even before invasion by Islam and Christianity religion (was it due to Monotheism or Paganism?) : The concept of Ghazwa-e-Hind - The ultimate conquest of India stems from Islamic scriptures called Hadiths. Abū Hurayra ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Ṣakhr al-Dawsī al-Zahrānī, commonly known as Abu Hurayra, was a companion of the Islamic prophet Muhammad and considered the most prolific hadith narrator. Also, Hz. Thawban memorized the hadiths he heard from the Prophet when he was with him and kept them in his memory. Thanks to this, he became a hadith scholar. There are 127 narrations of Thawban in hadith books. He educated several students in hadith. He also had a deep knowledge of Islamic law. When the Prophet died, Hz. Thawban could stay in Madinah only for three days. Wherever he looked, he remembered the Prophet. He could not put up with his separation. He left Madinah like Bilal al-Habashi. He went to the region of Damascus and settled in Ramla. Then, he took part in the conquest of Egypt. He spent the last days of his life in Homs. He died in the 54th year of the Migration.
Sunan an-Nasa'i 3175 - It was narrated that Thawban, the freed slave of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), said:"The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said: 'There are two groups of my Ummah whom Allah will free from the Fire: The group that invades India, and the group that will be with 'Isa bin Maryam, peace be upon him.'"
Sunan an-Nasa'i 3174 -It was narrated that Abu Hurairah said:
"The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) promised that we would invade India. If I live to see that I will sacrifice myself and my wealth. If I am killed, I will be one of the best of the martyrs, and if I come back, I will be Abu Hurairah Al-Muharrar."
Sunan an-Nasa'i is a collection of hadith compiled by Imam Ahmad an-Nasa'i (rahimahullah). His collection is unanimously considered to be one of the six canonical collections of hadith (Kutub as-Sittah) of the Sunnah of the Prophet (ﷺ). It contains roughly 5700 hadith (with repetitions) in 52 books.
