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

حدثنا نعيم حدثنا رشدين، عن ابن لهيعة، والليث بن سعد، عن أبي قبيل، عن غير واحد، من أصحاب رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: " يكون بين المسلمين وبين الروم هدنة على أن يبعث المسلمون إليهم جيشا يكون بالقسطنطينية غوثا لهم، فيأتيهم عدو من ورائهم يقاتلونهم، فيخرج إليهم المسلمون والروم معهم، فينصرهم الله عليهم ويهزمونهم ويقتلونهم، فيقول قائل من الروم: غلب الصليب، ويقول قائل من المسلمين: بل الله غلب، فيتراجع القوم ذلك بينهم، فيقوم المسلم إلى الرومي فيضرب عنقه، فتنتكث الروم حتى إذا رجعوا إلى القسطنطينية وأمنوا قتلوهم وهم آمنون، فإذا قتلوهم عرفوا أن المسلمين سيطلبونهم بدمائهم، فيخرج الروم على ثمانين غياية، تحت كل غياية اثنا عشر ألفا " قال أبو قبيل: «فإذا جاءت الروم لم يكن للناس بعدهم قوام، ومعهم يومئذ الترك وبرجان والسقالبة»

When the Romans came, the people would not be able to support themselves after them, and with them on that day would be the Turks, Burjan, and Al-Saqalaba

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #1322 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.

[Core Subject]: The Prophet ﷺ said the Muslims will make a secure peace with the Romans, and together they will fight a common enemy.

[Described Characteristics]: They win and take spoils, and camp in a green meadow. A man from the Christians raises the cross and says 'The cross has won', a Muslim gets angry and breaks it, and the Romans betray the truce and gather for the great battle. In the hadith of Awf ibn Malik, there will be a truce with the Banu al-Asfar, who then come under eighty banners with twelve thousand men under each.

[Timeline & Context]: This truce opens the time before the Dajjal, and the great battle follows it.

[Prophetic Practice]: Keeping one's word is part of faith. Treaties are kept until the other side breaks them.

[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]: The Prophet ﷺ foretold that the Muslims would fight a people with small eyes, red faces, flat noses and faces like hammered shields, who wear shoes of hair.

[Described Characteristics]: The narrations in Bukhari and Muslim give only this description and say the fighting is among the signs before the Hour.

[Timeline & Context]: Scholars place it among the events foretold for the early centuries.

[Prophetic Practice]: Baghdad fell after years of internal division. Unity is a protection.

[Geographical Locations]: Mentioned in narration : Constantinople (Istanbul).
