حدثنا أبو العباس محمد بن يعقوب، ثنا الربيع بن سليمان، ثنا عبد الله بن وهب، أخبرني سليمان بن بلال، عن ثور بن يزيد، عن أبي الغيث، عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه، أن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، قال: «هل سمعتم بمدينة جانب منها في البر وجانب منها في البحر؟» فقالوا: نعم يا رسول الله، قال: «لا تقوم الساعة حتى يغزوها سبعون ألفا من بني إسحاق، حتى إذا جاءوها نزلوا، فلم يقاتلوا بسلاح ولم يرموا بسهم» قال: " فيقولون: لا إله إلا الله والله أكبر فيسقط أحد جانبيها " - قال ثور: ولا أعلمه إلا قال: - " جانبها الذي يلي البر، ثم يقولون الثانية: لا إله إلا الله والله أكبر، فيسقط جانبها الآخر، ثم يقولون الثالثة: لا إله إلا الله والله أكبر فيفرج لهم فيدخلونها فيغنمون، فبينما هم يقتسمون الغنائم إذا جاءهم الصريخ: أن الدجال قد خرج، فيتركون كل شيء ويرجعون «يقال إن هذه المدينة هي القسطنطينية قد صحت الرواية أن فتحها مع قيام الساعة»

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #8469 in al-Mustadrak (al-Hakim).

[Isnad Grading & Assessment]: Scholar verdicts : al-Dhahabi (Talkhis): سكت عنه الذهبي في التلخيص.

[Core Subject]: The Hour (al-Sa'ah) is the moment this world ends. Everything alive dies, the universe is undone, and then comes the resurrection. The Quran mentions it again and again, and the Prophet ﷺ spoke of the signs that come before it.

[Described Characteristics]: It comes suddenly, while people are busy with their lives: one man is selling cloth, another is fixing his water trough, another is lifting food to his mouth, and none of them finishes. Before it come signs, small ones that spread slowly and ten great ones that come close together.

[Timeline & Context]: Only Allah knows. The Quran says its knowledge is with Him alone, and when Jibril asked the Prophet ﷺ, he answered: the one asked knows no more than the one asking. Any date or countdown contradicts this.

[Prophetic Practice]: A man asked, 'When is the Hour?' The Prophet ﷺ asked back, 'What have you prepared for it?' The real question is our own preparation, not the date.

[Core Subject]: The Dajjal (al-Masih al-Dajjal, the false messiah) is a single man who will appear near the end and claim to be God. Every prophet warned his people about him, and the Prophet ﷺ called his trial the greatest from the creation of Adam until the Hour.

[Described Characteristics]: He is a young man, stocky, with thick curly hair, blind in his right eye, which looks like a floating grape. Between his eyes is written ka-fa-ra (kafir), which every believer can read, literate or not. He brings what looks like paradise and hell, but his paradise is fire and his fire is cool water. He orders the sky to rain and it rains. He stays forty days: one like a year, one like a month, one like a week, the rest like ordinary days. He cannot enter Makkah or Madinah.

[Timeline & Context]: In the narrated order he is the first of the great signs. He comes after the great battle with the Romans and the conquest of Constantinople, and Isa (AS) kills him at the gate of Lud.

[Prophetic Practice]: Memorise the first ten verses of Surah al-Kahf, read al-Kahf on Fridays, and in every prayer before the salam ask Allah's refuge from the trial of the Dajjal. Whoever hears of him should keep away from him.

[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 : Madinah, Constantinople (Istanbul).
