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

حدثنا بقية بن الوليد، عن بحير بن سعد، عن خالد بن معدان، قال: قلت لعبد الله بن بسر: متى فتح القسطنطينية؟ قال: " لا تفتح حتى يكون بين المسلمين وبينهم صلح فيغزون جميعا، فينصرفون وقد غنموا، حتى ينزلوا مرجها، فيرفع رجل منهم الصليب فيقول: غلب الصليب، فيقوم إليهم رجل من المسلمين فيضرب صليبهم فيدقه، ويثور المسلمون وهم فيقتتلون، فيفتح الله لهم، فعند ذلك يكون فتحها "

It will not be opened until there is peace between the Muslims and them. They will all fight, and they will leave with their spoils, until they settle in its meadow, and a man among them raises the cross and says: The cross has conquered. Then a man from the Muslims rises up to them and strikes their cross and destroys it, and the Muslims revolt and fight, and Allah will open it for them, and at that time it will be opened.

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #1415 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]: Constantinople, today's Istanbul, was the capital of the Romans. The Prophet ﷺ foretold that the Muslims would conquer it.

[Described Characteristics]: In Sahih Muslim, after the great battle the Muslims reach the city and conquer it without weapons: at the first 'La ilaha illallah wallahu akbar' one side of its wall falls, at the second the other side, at the third the way opens. While they are dividing the spoils, a cry goes up that the Dajjal has come among their families.

[Timeline & Context]: The conquest comes right after the great battle and just before the Dajjal.

[Prophetic Practice]: The city falls to dhikr, not weapons. La ilaha illallah wallahu akbar is worth more than we think.

[Geographical Locations]: Mentioned in narration : Constantinople (Istanbul).
