حدثنا هاشم، قال: حدثنا ليث، عن معاوية بن صالح، عن عبد الرحمن بن جبير، عن أبيه، قال: سمعت أبا ثعلبة الخشني، صاحب رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، أنه سمعه يقول وهو بالفسطاط في خلافة معاوية، وكان معاوية أغزى الناس القسطنطينية، فقال: " والله لا تعجز هذه الأمة من نصف يوم إذا رأيت الشام مائدة رجل واحد وأهل بيته، فعند ذلك فتح القسطنطينية "

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #17734 in Musnad Ahmad.

[Core Subject]: Constantinople, today's Istanbul, was the capital of the Romans. The Prophet ﷺ foretold that the Muslims would conquer it.

[Described Characteristics]: In Sahih Muslim, after the great battle the Muslims reach the city and conquer it without weapons: at the first 'La ilaha illallah wallahu akbar' one side of its wall falls, at the second the other side, at the third the way opens. While they are dividing the spoils, a cry goes up that the Dajjal has come among their families.

[Timeline & Context]: The conquest comes right after the great battle and just before the Dajjal.

[Prophetic Practice]: The city falls to dhikr, not weapons. La ilaha illallah wallahu akbar is worth more than we think.

[Geographical Locations]: Mentioned in narration : Sham (Greater Syria), Constantinople (Istanbul).
