وقد حدثنا أبو العباس محمد بن يعقوب، ثنا بحر بن نصر بن سابق الخولاني، ثنا بشر بن بكر، ثنا الأوزاعي، حدثني حسان بن عطية، قال: قام مكحول وابن أبي زكريا إلى خالد بن معدان وقمت معهما، فقال: حدثنا خالد، عن جبير بن نفير، قال: انطلق بنا إلى ذي مخمر صاحب رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، فقال: سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، يقول: «ستصالحكم الروم صلحا آمنا، ثم تغزون أنتم وهم عدوا، فتنصرون وتسلمون وتفتحون، ثم تنصرون بمرج فيرفع لهم رجل من النصرانية الصليب، فيغضب رجل من المسلمين فيقوم إليهم فيدق الصليب فعند ذلك تغضب الروم فيجتمعون للملحمة» هذا حديث صحيح الإسناد، وهو أولى من الأول "

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #8299 in al-Mustadrak (al-Hakim).

[Isnad Grading & Assessment]: Scholar verdicts : al-Hakim: هذا حديث صحيح الإسناد، وهو أولى من الأول | al-Dhahabi (Talkhis): صحيح.

[Core Subject]: Al-Malhamah al-Kubra is the great battle between the Muslims and the Romans (al-Rum) near the end of time. The narrations describe it as one of the fiercest wars in history.

[Described Characteristics]: The Romans land at al-A'maq or Dabiq in northern Syria. An army from Madinah, the best people on earth in that day, goes out to meet them. A third flees and Allah never accepts their repentance, a third are killed and are the best martyrs, and a third win and are never tried again. Sahih Muslim describes a battle so long that men pledge to fight to the death three days running, and so deadly that a bird flying past the bodies falls dead before reaching their end.

[Timeline & Context]: It comes after a truce with the Romans breaks down, and before the conquest of Constantinople and the Dajjal.

[Prophetic Practice]: The Prophet ﷺ said: 'Do not wish to meet the enemy; ask Allah for well-being. But if you meet them, be steadfast.'

[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.
