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

قال الأوزاعي: فأخبرنا حسان بن عطية، قال: «تنزل الروم بسهل عكا، وتغلب على فلسطين، وبطن الأردن، وبيت المقدس، ولا يجيزون عقبة أفيق أربعين يوما، ثم يسير إليهم إمام المسلمين فيحوزونهم إلى مرج عكا، فيقتتلون بها حتى يبلغ الدم ثنن الخيل، فيهزمهم الله، ويقتلونهم إلا عصبة يسيرون إلى جبل لبنان، ثم إلى جبل بأرض الروم»

The Romans descend on the plain of Acre, and conquer Palestine, the Jordan Valley, and Jerusalem, and they do not pass the Afiq Aqaba for forty days. Then the Imam of the Muslims marches on them and they capture them in the meadow of Acre, and they fight there until the blood reaches two horses, so Allah defeats them, and they kill them except a group that marches to Mount Lebanon, then to a mountain in the land of the Romans.

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #1256 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 : Baitul Maqdis (Jerusalem).
