حدثنا عبد الرحمن بن مهدي، حدثنا معاوية، عن ضمرة بن حبيب، أن ابن زغب الإيادي حدثه قال: نزل علي عبد الله بن حوالة الأزدي فقال لي: وإنه لنازل علي في بيتي بعثنا رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم حول المدينة على أقدامنا لنغنم، فرجعنا ولم نغنم شيئا، وعرف الجهد في وجوهنا فقام فينا فقال: " اللهم لا تكلهم إلي فأضعف، ولا تكلهم إلى أنفسهم فيعجزوا عنها، ولا تكلهم إلى الناس فيستأثروا عليهم ". ثم قال: " ليفتحن لكم الشام والروم وفارس أو الروم وفارس حتى يكون لأحدكم من الإبل كذا وكذا، ومن البقر كذا وكذا، ومن الغنم حتى يعطى أحدهم مائة دينار فيسخطها ". ثم وضع يده على رأسي، أو هامتي ، فقال: " يا ابن حوالة، إذا رأيت الخلافة قد نزلت الأرض المقدسة فقد دنت الزلازل والبلايا والأمور العظام، والساعة يومئذ أقرب إلى الناس من يدي هذه من رأسك "

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #22487 in Musnad Ahmad.

[Core Subject]: Al-Rum, the Romans, were the Byzantine Empire in the Prophet's time. Many narrations about the end speak of the Muslims' relations with them: a truce, a joint war, then the great battle.

[Described Characteristics]: Amr ibn al-As heard that the Hour will come when the Romans are the most numerous of people, and he listed their good qualities: they are the most forbearing in trial, the quickest to recover after a disaster, the best to the poor, orphans and the weak, and they resist the oppression of kings.

[Timeline & Context]: Their part runs through the whole time before the Dajjal: first the truce, then the war, then the conquest of Constantinople.

[Prophetic Practice]: Amr's words teach fairness: name the good in others even when speaking of conflict.

[Core Subject]: The Prophet ﷺ said the Hour will not come until earthquakes become many.

[Described Characteristics]: The narration mentions it in a list with knowledge being taken away and time passing quickly, without further detail.

[Timeline & Context]: It spreads over time and has no fixed place in the order of the signs.

[Prophetic Practice]: When the earth shook in Kufa, Ibn Mas'ud said: 'Your Lord wants you to turn back to Him.'

[Core Subject]: The flourishing of Baitul Maqdis (Jerusalem) - and the descent of the Caliphate in the Holy Land - as the opening milestone in the prophetic sequence leading to the Great Battle and the Dajjal.

[Described Characteristics]: Mu'adh ibn Jabal narrated that the Prophet ﷺ said: 'The flourishing of Baitul Maqdis (`umran Bayt al-Maqdis) will be the ruin of Yathrib; the ruin of Yathrib will be the outbreak of the Great Battle (al-Malhamah); the outbreak of the Great Battle will be the conquest of Constantinople; and the conquest of Constantinople will be the emergence of the Dajjal' (Sunan Abi Dawud 4294). And to Ibn Hawalah he said: 'When you see the Caliphate has descended in the Holy Land, then earthquakes, tribulations, and great matters have drawn near' (Sunan Abi Dawud 2535).

[Timeline & Context]: Explicitly placed first in the five-stage sequence of Phase 3 (Before the Dajjal) in Sunan Abi Dawud 4294.

[Prophetic Practice]: Honor the sanctity of al-Masjid al-Aqsa through knowledge, prayer, and justice, while adhering strictly to authentic prophetic guidance.

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