حدثنا نعيم حدثنا الحكم بن نافع، عمن حدثه عن كعب، قال: «يدخل الروم بيت المقدس سبعون صليبا حتى يهدموه، ولا تزال طاعة معمول بها ما كانت الخلافة في أرض القدس والشام، وأول السواحل يغضب الله عليه فيخسف به الصارفية وقيسارية وبيروت، ويملك الروم والشام أربعين يوما من شاطئ البحر إلى الأردن وبيسان، ثم تكون الغلبة للمسلمين عليهم، يصالحونها حتى يجري سلطانهم عليهم، وتأمن الأرض كلها سبعا تسعا» قال كعب: " يخلع أهل العراق الطاعة، ويقتلون أميرهم من أهل الشام، فيغزوهم أهل الشام، ويستمدون عليهم الروم، وقد صالحوا الروم قبل أن يستمدوهم، فيمدوهم بعشرة آلاف حتى يبلغوا الفرات، فيلتقون فيكون الظفر لأهل الشام عليهم، ثم يدخلون الكوفة فيسبون أهلها، ثم يقول الروم للشاميين: أشركونا فيما أصبتم من السبي، فيقولون: أما ما كان من المسلمين فلا سبيل إليه، ونقاسمكم الأموال، فيقول الروم: إنما غلبتموهم بالصليب، ويقول المسلمون: بل بالله وبرسوله صلى الله عليه وسلم غلبناهم، فيتداولونه بينهم، فيغضب الروم، فيقوم إلى صليبهم رجل من المسلمين فيكسره، فيفترقون، ويحوز الروم إلى نهر يحول بينهم وبينهم، وتنقض الروم صلحها، ويقتلون من بالقسطنطينية من المسلمين، ثم يخرج الروم في ساحل حمص، فيخرج أهل حمص إليهم، فيغلق الأعاجم أبواب مدينة حمص عليهم، وينزل ملك الروم فحمايا، لا يجاوز القنطرة التي دون دير بهراء، فيقول الروم للمسلمين: خلوا لنا حمص، فإنها منزل آبائنا، فيقتتلون حتى يبلغ الدم الأحجار السبع الأواسط منها الأبارص، ثم يهزمون الروم ، ويرجع المسلمون إلى حمص ويربطون خيولهم بالزيتون، وينصبون المجانيق عليها، ويهدمون كنيسة دير مسحل، وتفتح حمص للمسلمين برجل من اليهود من بابها الغربي الأيمن، أو من الباب المغلق الذي بين باب دمشق وباب اليهود، فيدخلها المهاجرون، وتهرب طائفة من أنصارها إلى دير بني أسد، فيقتلهم المسلمون ومن بها من الأعاجم ويخربون ثلثها، ويحرقون ثلثها، ويغرقون ثلثها، ولا تزال الشام عامرة ما عمرت حمص "

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #1287 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 Euphrates (al-Furat) will uncover a mountain (or treasure) of gold, and people will fight over it.

[Described Characteristics]: Of every hundred who fight over it, ninety-nine are killed, and each one says 'perhaps I will be the one who survives'. The Prophet ﷺ said: whoever is present then should not take anything from it.

[Timeline & Context]: The narrations give no fixed place in the sequence. Scholars list it among the signs before the great signs.

[Prophetic Practice]: The command is to stay away from it. Greed for wealth is the trial, not the gold.

[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.

[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.

[Core Subject]: Three great collapses of the earth (khusuf): one in the east, one in the west, and one in the Arabian Peninsula. Whole areas will sink into the ground.

[Described Characteristics]: The narration names them as three of the ten great signs and gives no further detail. A separate sahih narration describes an army that marches to attack the Ka'bah and is swallowed by the earth in a desert plain (al-Bayda').

[Timeline & Context]: They are among the ten great signs, which come close together near the end.

[Prophetic Practice]: When the Prophet ﷺ saw a strong wind or dark cloud, his face changed and he turned to Allah in dua until it passed.

[Geographical Locations]: Mentioned in narration : Baitul Maqdis (Jerusalem), Damascus, Sham (Greater Syria), Iraq, Kufa, Homs, Constantinople (Istanbul), Euphrates.
