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

حدثنا ابن وهب، عن قباث بن رزين اللخمي، أن علي بن رباح، حدثه، عن عبد الله بن عمرو، قال: «تقوم الساعة والروم أكثر الناس» ، وكان عمرو بن العاص أراد أن ينتهره، ثم قال عمرو: لئن قلت ذاك إنهم لأجبر الناس عند مصيبة، وأسرعه إفاقة بعد هزيمة، وخيره لكبير وضعيف، وأمنعه من ظلم الملوك "

The Hour will come and the Romans will be the majority of people, and Amr ibn al-Aas wanted to rebuke him, then Amr said: If you say so, they will be the most powerful people in times of calamity, the quickest to recover after defeat, the best for the old and weak, and the best for them from the oppression of kings.

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #1345 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 foretold that the Hour would come while the Romans (al-Rum) are the most numerous of people.

[Described Characteristics]: Mustawrid al-Qurashi narrated that he heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: 'The Hour will come while the Romans are the most numerous of people.' This reached Amr ibn al-As, who said: if you say that, they have four qualities - the most forbearing in trial, the quickest to recover after calamity, the soonest to return after fleeing, and the best to the poor, orphan and weak - and a fifth, fair and good: the most restraining of their kings' oppression (Sahih Muslim 2898).

[Timeline & Context]: A description of the world near the end of time; it fixes no date.

[Prophetic Practice]: Take the lesson Amr ibn al-As drew: forbearance in trial, care for the weak, and justice restraining rulers are praised wherever found, so cultivate them in yourself.
