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

حدثنا ابن وهب، عن عبد الرحمن بن شريح، عن عبد الكريم بن الحارث، قال: قال المستورد القرشي رضي الله عنه: سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول: «تقوم الساعة والروم أكثر الناس» ، فبلغ ذلك عمرو بن العاص فقال: ما هذه الأحاديث التي تذكر عنك، أنك تقولها عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم؟ فقال له المستورد: قلت الذي سمعت من رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، قال عمرو: لئن قلت ذلك، إنهم لأحلم الناس عند فتنة، وأجبر الناس عند مصيبة، وخير الناس لمساكينهم وضعفائهم "

The Hour will come and the Romans will be the majority of people. This was reported to Amr bin Al-Aas and he said: What are these hadiths that are mentioned about you, that you say about the Prophet ﷺ? The importer said to him: I said what I heard from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. Amr said: If you say that, they are the most forgiving of people when there is turmoil, the most forceful of people when disaster strikes, and the best of people for their poor and weak.

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #1349 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.
