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 بقية بن الوليد، عن صفوان بن عمرو، عن شريح بن عبيد، عن كعب، قال: «ما أحب أن أبقى، بعد فتح مدينة هرقل، إن أبواب الشر تفتح حينئذ، ورب هوان وصغار مع فتحها»

I would not like to stay after the conquest of the city of Hercules. The gates of evil will be opened then, and there will be humiliation and humiliation when they are opened.

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #1388 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]: 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.
