Was Iraq, Syria, and Egypt deprived of their dirham, qafiz, mudd, dinar, and irdab during the colonial era, as stated in the Hadith: "Iraq was deprived of its dirham and its qafiz, Syria was deprived of its mudd and its dinar, and Egypt was deprived of its irdab and its dinar, and you returned to where you began, and you returned to where you began, and you returned to where you began. The flesh and blood of Abu Hurairah bear witness to that"? Narrated by Muslim?

One must believe in the Prophetic hadiths in the meaning in which they were revealed, and it is not permissible to interpret them as referring to specific events except with evidence. Some scholars have interpreted the of Abu Hurairah in Muslim as referring to the seizure of Muslim lands by the Persians and Romans, but this interpretation does not specify the number of times this will occur.
