أخبرني أبو بكر بن أبي نصر المزكي، بمرو، ثنا أحمد بن محمد بن عيسى القاضي، ثنا عبد الله بن مسلمة، ثنا كثير بن عبد الله بن عمرو بن عوف المزني، وحدثنا الشيخ أبو بكر بن إسحاق، وله اللفظ، أنبأ الحسين بن علي بن زياد، ثنا إسماعيل بن أبي أويس، ثنا كثير بن عبد الله، عن أبيه، عن جده رضي الله عنه، قال: سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم وهو يقول: «لا تذهب الدنيا يا علي بن أبي طالب» قال علي: لبيك يا رسول الله، قال: " اعلم أنكم ستقاتلون بني الأصفر أو يقاتلهم من بعدكم من المؤمنين، وتخرج إليهم روقة المؤمنين أهل الحجاز الذين يجاهدون في سبيل الله، لا تأخذهم في الله لومة لائم حتى يفتح الله عز وجل عليهم قسطنطينية، ورومية بالتسبيح والتكبير فينهدم حصنها فيصيبون نبلا عظيما لم يصيبوا مثله قط، حتى إنهم يقتسمون بالترس، ثم يصرخ صارخ: يا أهل الإسلام قد خرج المسيح الدجال في بلادكم وذراريكم، فينفض الناس عن المال، فمنهم الآخذ، ومنهم التارك، فالآخذ نادم، والتارك نادم، يقولون: من هذا الصائح؟ فلا يعلمون من هو، فيقولون: ابعثوا طليعة إلى لد، فإن يكن المسيح قد خرج فيأتونكم بعلمه، فيأتون فينظرون فلا يرون شيئا، ويرون الناس شاكين، فيقولون: ما صرخ الصارخ إلا لنبأ فاعتزموا، ثم ارشدوا فيعتزمون أن نخرج بأجمعنا إلى لد، فإن يكن بها المسيح الدجال نقاتله حتى يحكم الله بيننا وبينه وهو خير الحاكمين، وإن يكن الأخرى فإنها بلادكم وعشائركم وعساكركم رجعتم إليها "

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #8488 in al-Mustadrak (al-Hakim).

[Isnad Grading & Assessment]: Scholar verdicts : al-Dhahabi (Talkhis): كثير واه.

[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]: 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 : Constantinople (Istanbul).
