حدثنا الوليد، وأبو المغيرة، عن ابن عياش، عن إسحاق بن أبي فروة، عن يوسف بن سليمان، عن جدته، ميمونة، عن عبد الرحمن بن سنة، قال: سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول: «والذي نفسي بيده» ليأرزن الإيمان إلى ما بين المسجدين كما تأرز الحية إلى حجرها، وليجاوز الإيمان المدينة كما يجوز السيل الدمن، فبينما هم على ذلك استغاثت العرب بأعرابها في مجلبة لهم، كصالح من مضى، وخير من بقي، فاقتتلوا هم والروم، فتتقلب بهم الحروب حتى يردوا عمق أنطاكية فيقتتلون بها ثلاث ليال، فيرفع الله النصر عن كل الفريقين حتى تخوض الخيل في الدم إلى ثنتها، وتقول الملائكة: أي رب، ألا تنصر عبادك؟ فيقول: حتى يكثر شهداؤهم، فيستشهد ثلث، ويصبر ثلث، ويرجع ثلث شاكا فيخسف بهم ، قال: فتقول الروم: لن ندعكم إلا أن تخرجوا إلينا كل من كان أصله منا، فيقول العرب للعجم: الحقوا بالروم، فتقول العجم: أنكفر بعد الإيمان؟ فيغضبون عند ذلك، فيحملون على الروم فيقتتلون، فيغضب الله عند ذلك، فيضرب بسيفه، ويطعن برمحه " قيل: يا عبد الله بن عمرو، ما سيف الله ورمحه؟ قال: سيف المؤمن ورمحه «، حتى يهلكوا الروم جميعا، فما يفلت إلا مخبر، ثم ينطلقون إلى أرض الروم فيفتتحون حصونها ومدائنها بالتكبير، حتى يأتوا مدينة هرقل فيجدون خليجها بطحاء، ثم يفتتحونها بالتكبير، يكبرون تكبيرة فيسقط أحد جدرها، ثم يكبرون أخرى فيسقط جدار آخر، ويبقى جدارها البحري لا يسقط، ثم يستجيرون إلى رومية فيفتتحونها بالتكبير، ويتكايلون يومئذ غنائمهم كيلا بالغرائر» ، إلا أن الوليد لم يذكر جدته

By the One in whose hand is my soul, I will lead faith to the distance between the two mosques as a serpent anchors to its stone, and faith will pass beyond the city as a torrent passes a flood. While they were in this state, the Arabs called for help from their Bedouins to bring them, like the righteous of those who passed, and the best of those who remained. So they and the Romans fought, and the wars turned on them until they reached the depth of Antioch, where they fought for three nights, so Allah would lift victory from both sides until the horses were wading in blood to their knees, and it said Angels: O Lord, will you not help your servants? He said: Until their martyrs multiply, so that a third will be martyred, a third will be patient, and a third will return in doubt and be defeated. He said: Then the Romans will say: We will not leave you unless you bring out to us everyone whose origin is among us. Then the Arabs will say to the non-Arabs: Join the Romans, and the non-Arabs will say: Should we disbelieve after believing? Then they become angry, so they attack the Romans and fight, and Allah becomes angry at that, so he strikes with his sword and stabs with his spear. It was said: O Abdullah bin Amr, what is the sword and spear of Allah? He said: The sword and spear of the believer, until they destroy the Romans all together, and only an informer escapes. Then they set out for the land of the Romans and conquer its fortresses and cities with the takbir, until they come to the city of Heraclius and find its bay, Batha, then They open it by saying “Allahu Akbar.” They say “Allahu Akbar” and one of its walls falls, then they say “Allahu Akbar” and another wall falls, and its sea wall remains unfallen. Then they seek refuge in Rome and open it by saying “Allahu Akbar,” and on that day they will measure their spoils as a measure of deception, except that Al-Walid did not mention his grandmother.

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #1379 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]: Three great collapses of the earth (khusuf): one in the east, one in the west, and one in the Arabian Peninsula. Whole areas will sink into the ground.

[Described Characteristics]: The narration names them as three of the ten great signs and gives no further detail. A separate sahih narration describes an army that marches to attack the Ka'bah and is swallowed by the earth in a desert plain (al-Bayda').

[Timeline & Context]: They are among the ten great signs, which come close together near the end.

[Prophetic Practice]: When the Prophet ﷺ saw a strong wind or dark cloud, his face changed and he turned to Allah in dua until it passed.

[Core Subject]: In the hardest days, when the Muslims were few and besieged, the Prophet ﷺ foretold that they would conquer Persia, Rome, Yemen, Sham, Iraq, Egypt and Jerusalem.

[Described Characteristics]: While digging the trench around Madinah, he struck a rock and said he had been given the keys of Sham, Persia and Yemen. He told Adi ibn Hatim that a woman would travel alone from al-Hirah to the Ka'bah fearing no one but Allah, and that the treasures of Kisra would be spent in the path of Allah. Adi lived to see both. He told Suraqah he would wear Kisra's bracelets; Umar put them on him.

[Timeline & Context]: They came in the first decades after the Prophet ﷺ: Jerusalem in 15-16 AH, Egypt in 20-21 AH, and Persia by about 31 AH.

[Prophetic Practice]: Hope in Allah's promise even in the narrowest times, as the Companions did at the trench.

[Core Subject]: The foretold conquest of Rome (Rumiyah, in Italy), named in the reports after the conquest of Constantinople.

[Described Characteristics]: Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-As was asked which of the two cities would be conquered first, Constantinople or Rome. He called for a sealed chest, took out a book, and said the Prophet ﷺ was asked the same and replied: 'The city of Heraclius will be conquered first' - that is, Constantinople (al-Mustadrak 8301, sahih on the conditions of al-Bukhari and Muslim; Musnad Ahmad 6645). A report in Sahih Muslim 2920 likewise sets the conquest of Rome among the events near the end of time.

[Timeline & Context]: Named after the conquest of Constantinople (which fell in 1453) and tied to the later tribulations before the Dajjal; scholars set no date.

[Prophetic Practice]: Read these reports as God's knowledge of what will be, not as a call to any campaign, and never bend them onto a living state or people.

[Geographical Locations]: Mentioned in narration : Madinah, Antioch.
