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، وأبو المغيرة، عن أبي بكر، عن أبي الزاهرية، عن كعب، قال: «تفتح على يدي رجل من بني هاشم» قالا جميعا: وأخبرنا صفوان، عن شريح، وأبي المثنى الأملوكي، عن كعب، قال: «تفتح على يدي ولد سبأ، وولد قاذر» فلم يذكر بقية أبا المثنى وقال بقية، عن صفوان بن عمرو، عن أبي المثنى، عن كعب، «الذي تكون على يديه الملاحم رجل من أهل هرقل، يقال له طبر، يعني طبارة»

It was conquered at the hands of a man from Banu Hashim. They all said: Safwan told us, on the authority of Shurayh, and Abu Al-Muthanna Al-Amluki, on the authority of Ka’b, who said: It was conquered at the hands of the son of Saba and the son of Qadir. Baqiyya did not mention Abu Al-Muthanna. Baqiyya said, on the authority of Safwan bin Amr, on the authority of Abu Al-Muthanna, on the authority of Ka’b, on whose hands the epics were written, a man from the people of Heraclius, called Tabar, meaning Tabara.

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #1391 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-Malhamah al-Kubra is the great battle between the Muslims and the Romans (al-Rum) near the end of time. The narrations describe it as one of the fiercest wars in history.

[Described Characteristics]: The Romans land at al-A'maq or Dabiq in northern Syria. An army from Madinah, the best people on earth in that day, goes out to meet them. A third flees and Allah never accepts their repentance, a third are killed and are the best martyrs, and a third win and are never tried again. Sahih Muslim describes a battle so long that men pledge to fight to the death three days running, and so deadly that a bird flying past the bodies falls dead before reaching their end.

[Timeline & Context]: It comes after a truce with the Romans breaks down, and before the conquest of Constantinople and the Dajjal.

[Prophetic Practice]: The Prophet ﷺ said: 'Do not wish to meet the enemy; ask Allah for well-being. But if you meet them, be steadfast.'
