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

حدثنا ضمرة بن ربيعة، عن يحيى بن أبي عمرو السيباني، عن ذي مخبر ابن أخي النجاشي قال: سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول: " تصالحون الروم عشر سنين صلحا آمنا، يوفون لكم سنتين، ويغدرون في الثالثة، أو يفون أربعا ويغدرون في الخامسة، فينزل جيش منكم في مدينتهم فتنفرون أنتم وهم إلى عدو من ورائهم، فيفتح الله لكم فتنصرون بما أصبتم من أجر وغنيمة، فينزلون في مرج ذي تلول فيقول: قائلكم: الله غلب، ويقول قائلهم: الصليب غلب، فيتداولونها ساعة، فيغضب المسلمون وصليبهم منهم غير بعيد، فيثور المسلم إلى صليبهم فيدقه، فيثورون إلى كاسر صليبهم، فيضربون عنقه، فتثور تلك العصابة من المسلمين إلى أسلحتهم، ويثور الروم إلى أسلحتهم، فيقتتلون فيكرم الله تلك العصابة من المسلمين فيستشهدون، فيأتون ملكهم فيقولون: قد كفيناك حد العرب وبأسهم، فماذا تنتظر؟ فيجمع لكم حمل امرأة، ثم يأتيكم في ثمانين غاية، تحت كل غاية اثنا عشر ألفا "

You will make peace with the Romans for ten years in peace. They will pay you two years, and betray you the third, or they will pay four and betray the fifth. Then an army of you will descend on their city, and you and they will flee to an enemy behind them. Then Allah will give you victory, and you will be victorious with the reward and spoils that you have gained. They will camp in a hilly meadow, and your speaker will say: Allah has defeated. And their speaker will say: The Cross has defeated. So they will debate it for an hour, and the Muslims and their cross will become angry with them. Not far away, the Muslim will revolt against their cross and strike it, and they will revolt against the one who broke their cross, and behead him, and that band of Muslims will revolt against their weapons, and the Romans will revolt against their weapons, and they will fight, and Allah will honor that band of Muslims, and they will be martyred, and they will come to their king and say: We have sufficed you with the punishment of the Arabs and their might, so what are you waiting for? He will collect for you a woman’s pregnancy, then he will come to you in eighty targets, under each target twelve thousand

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #1376 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.
