Kitab al-Fitan of Nu'aym ibn Hammad: ungraded, and weak overall. Never established on its own.

Traced to Ka'b al-Ahbar (automatic guess): a report of earlier scriptures, not a hadith of the Prophet ﷺ.

حدثنا ابن المبارك، أخبرنا الأعمش، عن أبي صالح، قال: قال كعب، ومسجد المدينة يبنى: «والله لوددت أنه لا يبنى منه برج إلا سقط برج» ، فقيل له: يا أبا إسحاق، ألم تقل: إن صلاة فيه أفضل من ألف صلاة فيما سواه، إلا المسجد الحرام؟ قال: «وأنا أقول ذلك، ولكن فتنة نزلت من السماء ليس بينها وبين أن تقع إلا شبرا، ولو قد فرغ من بناء هذا المسجد وقعت، وذلك عند قتل هذا الشيخ عثمان بن عفان» ، فقال قائل: أوليس قاتله كقاتل عمر؟ فقال كعب: «بلى، مائة ألف أو يزيدون، ثم يحل القتل ما بين عدن أبين إلى دروب الروم، وجيش يخرج من الغرب، وجيش يخرج من المشرق، فيلتقون بأرض يقال لها صفين، فيكون بينهم ملحمة عظيمة، ثم لا يفترقون إلا عن حكمين» إلى آخر الحديث

By Allah, I wish that no tower would be built without a tower falling, and I say that, but a turmoil descended from the sky, with only a span between us and it falling, and if the construction of this mosque had been completed, it would have occurred. And that was when this Sheikh Othman bin Affan was killed, yes, a hundred thousand or more. Then killing would occur between Aden and Abyan to the paths of the Romans, and an army would emerge from the west, and an army would emerge from the east, and they would meet in a land called Siffin, and there would be a great battle between them, and then they would not separate except About two rulings

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #100 in Kitab al-Fitan (Nu'aym ibn Hammad).

[Scholarly Verification Notice]: Recorded in Nu'aym ibn Hammad's Kitab al-Fitan (d. 228 AH). Hadith scholars classify this historical compilation as ungraded and weak overall; its isolated reports are not accepted as established doctrine unless corroborated by standard Sahih works.

[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.

[Geographical Locations]: Mentioned in narration : Madinah, Aden.
