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.

قال الوليد: فحدثني عثمان بن أبي العاتكة، عن كعب، مثله قال كعب: " فذلك أكرم شهيد كان في الإسلام، إلا حمزة بن عبد المطلب، فتقول الملائكة: ربنا ألا تأذن لنا بنصرة عبادك؟ فيقول: أنا أولى بنصرتهم، يومئذ يطعن برمحه، ويضرب بسيفه، وسيفه أمره، فيهزمهم الله تعالى ويمنحهم أكتافهم فيدوسونهم كما تداس المعصرة، فلا يكون للروم بعدها جماعة ولا ملك "

That is the most honorable martyr in Islam, except for Hamza bin Abdul Muttalib. Then the angels say: Our Lord, will you not permit us to support Your servants? He will say: I am more deserving of supporting them. On that day, he will stab with his spear and strike with his sword, and his sword is his command, and Allah Almighty will defeat them and give them their shoulders, and they will trample them as a winepress is trampled, and the Romans will no longer have a group or a king.

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #1284 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.
