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.

حدثنا ابن وهب، عن معاوية بن صالح، عن حدير بن كريب، عن جبير بن نفير، عن يزيد بن شريح، عن كعب، قال: «في فتح رومية يخرج جيش من المغرب بريح شرقية لا ينكسر لهم مقذاف، ولا ينقطع لهم حبل، ولا ينحرق لهم قلع، ولا تنتقص لهم قربة، حتى يرسوا برومية فيفتحونها» ، قال كعب: «إن فيها لشجرة هي في كتاب الله مجلس ثلاثة آلاف، فمن علق فيها سلاحه، أو ربط فيها فرسه فهو عند الله تعالى من أفضل الشهداء» قال كعب: تفتح عمورية قبل نيقية، ونيقية قبل القسطنطينية، والقسطنطينية قبل رومية "

In the conquest of Rome, an army emerges from the west with an easterly wind. Their slingshot will not be broken, their rope will not be cut off, their castle will not be burned, and their slings will not be diminished. Until they anchor in Rome and they conquer it, there is a tree in it that, in the Book of Allah, is a seat of three thousand. Whoever hangs his weapon in it, or ties his horse in it, is in the sight of Allah Almighty one of the best martyrs.

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #1343 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).
