حدثنا الشيخ أبو بكر أحمد بن إسحاق الفقيه رضي الله عنه، أنبأ الحسن بن علي بن زياد، ثنا إسماعيل بن أبي أويس، حدثني أخي، عن سليمان بن بلال، عن سهيل بن أبي صالح، عن أبيه، عن أبي هريرة رضي الله عنه، أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، قال: " لا تقوم الساعة حتى ينزل الروم بالأعماق، فيخرج إليهم جلب من المدينة من خيار أهل الأرض يومئذ، فإذا تصافوا قالت الروم: خلوا بيننا وبين الذين سبوا منا نقاتلهم، فيقول المسلمون: لا والله لا نخلي بينكم وبين إخواننا، فيقاتلونهم فينهزم ثلث لا يتوب الله عليهم أبدا، ويقتل ثلث هم أفضل الشهداء عند الله عز وجل، ويصبح ثلث لا يفتنون أبدا، فيبلغون القسطنطينية فيفتحون فبينما هم يقسمون غنائمهم، وقد علقوا سلاحهم بالزيتون إذ صاح الشيطان: إن المسيح قد خلفكم في أهليكم، وذلك باطل فإذا جاءوا الشام خرج، فبينما هم يعدون للقتال ويسوون الصفوف إذ أقيمت الصلاة صلاة الصبح، فينزل عيسى ابن مريم صلوات الله عليه فأمهم، فإذا رآه عدو الله ذاب كما يذوب الملح، فلو تركه لانذاب حتى يهلك، ولكن يقتله الله بيده فيريهم دمه في حربته «هذا حديث صحيح على شرط مسلم، ولم يخرجاه»

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #8486 in al-Mustadrak (al-Hakim).

[Isnad Grading & Assessment]: Scholar verdicts : al-Hakim: هذا حديث صحيح على شرط مسلم، ولم يخرجاه | al-Dhahabi (Talkhis): على شرط مسلم.

[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]: Isa (Jesus, AS), son of Maryam, was not killed or crucified; Allah raised him up. Near the end of time he descends again, kills the Dajjal, and rules by the law of Muhammad ﷺ as a just ruler.

[Described Characteristics]: He descends at the white minaret east of Damascus, wearing two saffron-dyed garments, his hands on the wings of two angels. When he lowers his head, drops fall like pearls. He finds the Dajjal at the gate of Lud and kills him. He breaks the cross, kills the pig, abolishes the jizyah, and wealth becomes so plentiful no one accepts it. He lives on earth for a time, marries, then dies and the Muslims pray over him.

[Timeline & Context]: He descends during the Dajjal's forty days, just as the Muslims are getting ready for prayer, and Ya'juj and Ma'juj come out in his time.

[Prophetic Practice]: The Prophet ﷺ said: whoever of you meets him, convey my salam to him.

[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 : Madinah, Sham (Greater Syria), A'maq, Constantinople (Istanbul).
