Does anyone know of a hadith from prophet (SAW) about a war in Iraq? The Iraqi's will be oppressed by the west/romans who will lead them to war. Someone from the Iraqi people will lead (he does not know who he is at the time) and win against the oppressors. Someone told me this hadith but I haven't been able to find it or authenticate it :(

If you know of it PLEASE, PLEASE post it.

During my search I did manage to find this:

5. The Messenger foretold that the Euphrates would "dry"
God’s Messenger once declared:

The Euphrates will probably go dry, uncovering a treasure (a mountain, according to another version) of gold beneath it. Whoever of you witnesses it, should refrain from taking any of it.

This hadith alludes to great bloodshed which is expected to take place along the Euphrates. Although the Euphrates has so far witnessed many wars, like the Iran-Iraq war, what this hadith points to is a much greater bloodshed which will occur in the future. While we may take the hadith in its literal meaning — that is, the Euphrates may actually go dry to uncover a treasure or a mountain of gold beneath it — we may also regard it in a figurative sense. For example, we tend to call petrol ‘black gold’, or the water of the Euphrates may be, in the future, as valuable as gold, and cause regional or even international wars. Also it may be that the income obtained through the dams over the Euphrates will attract international attention and cause great wars. In whichever case, God’s Messenger warned fourteen centuries ago that the region of the Euphrates is like dynamite at the heart of the Muslim world.
