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

وحدثنا نعيم ثنا الوليد، عن معاوية بن يحيى، عن أرطاة بن المنذر، عن حكيم بن عمير، عن تبيع، قال: " ثم يبعث الروم يسألونكم الصلح فتصالحونهم، فيومئذ تقطع المرأة الدرب إلى الشام آمنة، وتبنى مدينة قيسارية التي بأرض الروم، وفي ذلك الصلح تعرك الكوفة عرك الأديم، وذلك لتركهم أن يمدوا المسلمين، فالله أعلم أكان مع خذلانهم حدث آخر يستحل غزوهم فيه، وتستمدون الروم عليهم فيمدونكم، فتنصرفون حتى تنزلوا بمرج ذي تلول، فيقول قائل النصارى: بصليبنا غلبتم، فأعطونا حظنا من الغنيمة والنساء والذرية، فيأبون أن يعطوهم من النساء والذرية، فيقتتلون ثم ينصرفون، فيجتمعون للملحمة "

Then the Romans will send you to ask for peace, and you will make peace with them. On that day, the woman will cross the path to the Sham (Greater Syria) in safety, and the city of Caesarea, which is in the land of the Romans, will be built. In that peace treaty, Kufa will be exposed to the struggle of the people, due to their abandonment of supporting the Muslims. Allah knows best. If, in addition to their abandonment, there will be another event in which it will be permissible for them to invade, and you will draw the Romans against them and they will support you, so you will depart until you settle in a hilly meadow. Then the Christian speaker says: With our cross you defeated, so give us our share of the spoils, the women and the offspring, but they refuse to give them the women and offspring, so they fight and then leave, and gather for the battle.

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #1259 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-Malhamah al-Kubra is the great battle between the Muslims and the Romans (al-Rum) near the end of time. The narrations describe it as one of the fiercest wars in history.

[Described Characteristics]: The Romans land at al-A'maq or Dabiq in northern Syria. An army from Madinah, the best people on earth in that day, goes out to meet them. A third flees and Allah never accepts their repentance, a third are killed and are the best martyrs, and a third win and are never tried again. Sahih Muslim describes a battle so long that men pledge to fight to the death three days running, and so deadly that a bird flying past the bodies falls dead before reaching their end.

[Timeline & Context]: It comes after a truce with the Romans breaks down, and before the conquest of Constantinople and the Dajjal.

[Prophetic Practice]: The Prophet ﷺ said: 'Do not wish to meet the enemy; ask Allah for well-being. But if you meet them, be steadfast.'

[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 : Sham (Greater Syria), Kufa.
