Since Muhammad declared war against everyone around him who didn't believe in his religion (Arabia, Yemen, Syria, Iraq, Egypt, Persians, Rome, Turks, Jerusalem, India...) it was easy to "predict" that Muslims would fight all those people.

=====Leave the Turks as long as they leave you (apologists say "Ottomans will become dominant")=====
Obviously rise of [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Ottoman_Empire the Ottoman Empire] is something that apologists try hard to read into Muhammad's words <ref>[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Fgf3s2Ods-M Yasir Qadhi: The Prophecy about the Turks - Signs of the Final Days] (video)</ref>, because it happened hundreds of years after Muhammad and he couldn't have guessed it. Unfortunately, the hadith that apologists use doesn't predict the rise of the Ottoman Empire:
{{Quote|{{Abudawud|38|4288}}|
Narrated from Abi Sukainah One of the Companions:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said: '''Let the Abyssinians alone as long as they let you alone''', and let the Turks alone as long as they leave you alone.
}}
* The part about Abyssinians is usually ignored, because it doesn't fit into the apologetic interpretation
The apologetic interpretation is that Muslims should leave Turks alone, because Turks would win the war. And Turks would win because they are strong. And they are strong therefore they will eventually become dominant. But this interpretation fails from the beginning, because the hadith doesn't say that Turks will win. It just says don't initiate the fight first.
In other hadith, Muhammad actually predicted that after a few wars, Muslims will exterminate the Turks:

يقاتِلُكم قومٌ صغارُ الأعينِ يعني التُّركَ قالَ تسوقونَهم ثلاثَ مرات حتَّى تُلحِقوهم بجزيرةِ العربِ فأمَّا في السِّاقةِ الأولى فينجو من هربَ منهم فأمَّا في الثَّانيةِ فينجو بعضٌ ويَهلِكُ بعضٌ وأمَّا في الثَّالثةِ فيصطَلِمونَ
People with small eyes, i.e. the Turks, will fight against you, 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'''.
