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

حدثنا نعيم ثنا الوليد، عن ابن لهيعة، عن أبي قبيل، عن أبي فراس، عن عبد الله بن عمرو، قال: «تغزون القسطنطينية ثلاث غزوات، الأولى يصيبكم فيها بلاء، والثانية تكون بينكم وبينهم صلحا حتى تبنوا في مدينتهم مسجدا، وتغزون أنتم وهم عدوا من وراء القسطنطينية، ثم ترجعون، ثم تغزونها الثالثة فيفتحها الله عليكم»

You will invade Constantinople in three battles: the first will befall you, the second will bring about peace between you and them until you build a mosque in their city, and you and they will invade from behind Constantinople, then you will return, then you will invade it for the third, and Allah will grant it victory over you.

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #1261 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]: 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).
