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

حدثنا أبو عمر، عن ابن لهيعة، عن عبد الوهاب بن حسين، عن محمد بن ثابت، عن أبيه، عن الحارث، عن عبد الله بن مسعود، رضي الله عنه قال: " إذا انقطعت التجارات والطرق، وكثرت الفتن، خرج سبعة رجال علماء من أفق شتى، على غير ميعاد، يبايع لكل رجل منهم ثلاثمائة وبضعة عشر رجلا، حتى يجتمعوا بمكة، فيلتقي السبعة، فيقول بعضهم لبعض: ما جاء بكم؟ فيقولون: جئنا في طلب هذا الرجل الذي ينبغي أن تهدأ على يديه هذه الفتن، وتفتح له القسطنطينية، قد عرفناه باسمه واسم أبيه وأمه وحليته، فيتفق السبعة على ذلك، فيطلبونه فيصيبونه بمكة، فيقولون له: أنت فلان بن فلان؟ فيقول: لا، بل أنا رجل من الأنصار، حتى يفلت منهم، فيصفونه لأهل الخبرة والمعرفة به، فيقال: هو صاحبكم الذي تطلبونه، وقد لحق بالمدينة، فيطلبونه بالمدينة فيخالفهم إلى مكة، فيطلبونه بمكة فيصيبونه، فيقولون: أنت فلان بن فلان، وأمك فلانة بنت فلان، وفيك آية كذا وكذا، وقد أفلت منا مرة، فمد يدك نبايعك؟ فيقول: لست بصاحبكم، أنا فلان بن فلان الأنصاري، مروا بنا أدلكم على صاحبكم، حتى يفلت منهم، فيطلبونه بالمدينة فيخالفهم إلى مكة، فيصيبونه بمكة عند الركن، فيقولون: إثمنا عليك، ودماؤنا في عنقك إن لم تمد يدك نبايعك، هذا عسكر السفياني قد توجه في طلبنا، عليهم رجل من جرم، فيجلس بين الركن والمقام، فيمد يده فيبايع له، ويلقي الله محبته في صدور الناس، فيسير مع قوم أسد بالنهار، رهبان بالليل "

If trade and roads are cut off, and strife increases, seven scholarly men from various regions will come out without an appointment, and three hundred and fifteen men will pledge allegiance to each of them, until they meet in Mecca, and the seven will meet and say to each other: What has brought you? They say: We have come in search of this man, at whose hands these temptations should be calmed, and Constantinople should be opened to him. We have known him by his name, the name of his father and mother, and his jewelry. So the seven agree on that, so they seek him and attack him in Mecca, and they say to him: Are you so-and-so, son of so-and-so? So he says: No, but I am a man from the Ansar, until he escapes from them, and they describe him to the people with experience and knowledge of him, and it is said: He is your friend whom you are looking for, and he has joined Medina. Then they search for him in Medina and he goes against them to Mecca. They search for him in Mecca and catch him. They say: You are so-and-so, son of so-and-so, and your mother is so-and-so, daughter of so-and-so, and such-and-such is among you, and he escaped from us once, so extend your hand so we can pledge allegiance to you? He says: I am not your friend. I am so-and-so, the son of so-and-so, Al-Ansari. Pass by us and I will guide you to your friend, until he escapes from them. They seek him in Medina and he goes with them to Mecca. They catch him in Mecca at the Corner, and they say: Our sin is upon you, and our blood is on your neck if you do not extend your hand to pledge allegiance to us. This is the army of Al-Sufyani, who has directed our request. A man of crime is upon them. He sits between the Corner and the Maqam, so he extends his hand and pledges allegiance to him, and Allah casts His love in them. People's chests, so he walks with lion's people during the day and monks at night

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #1000 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]: The Sufyani is a figure from the descendants of Abu Sufyan who, according to some reports, will rise in Sham before the Mahdi, spread oppression, and send an army that is swallowed by the earth.

[Described Characteristics]: There is no narration about the Sufyani in Bukhari, Muslim or the other six books. The reports come mainly from Nu'aym ibn Hammad's Kitab al-Fitan and al-Hakim's al-Mustadrak; al-Dhahabi and other critics judged them weak or very weak.

[Timeline & Context]: The weak reports put him before the Mahdi. Because they are weak, no firm order can be built on them.

[Prophetic Practice]: Build your understanding of the end on what is authentic, and leave what is weak to the specialists.

[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, Makkah, Constantinople (Istanbul).
