حدثني أبو بكر محمد بن أحمد بن بالويه، ثنا إبراهيم بن إسحاق الحربي، ثنا مصعب بن عبد الله الزبيري، قال: «وأبو أيوب خالد بن زيد بن كليب بن ثعلبة بن عبد عوف من بني تميم بن مالك بن النجار شهد العقبة، وبدرا، والمشاهد كلها، وفتوح العراق، وشهد مع علي رضي الله عنه صفين ثم صار إلى الشام، فدخل أرض الروم غازيا، ونزل القسطنطينية»

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #5949 in al-Mustadrak (al-Hakim).

[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]: 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), Iraq, Constantinople (Istanbul).
