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

حدثنا ابن وهب، عن ابن لهيعة، عن أبي قبيل، عن عبد الله بن عمرو، قال: " ملحمة الإسكندرية تقبل الروم من نحو أنطابلس حتى إذا بلغوا منحر البرذون من أرض لوبية بلغ صاحب الإسكندرية خبرهم، فيبعث إليهم مجنبته، فلا يرجعون إليه حتى ينزل الروم الإسكندرية، فيا ليتني لحميق قريش يومئذ حيا، فأقول: يا أحمق احبس عليك خيلك فإنهم يغشونك "

The Battle of Alexandria accepts the Romans from the direction of Antipolis, until when they reach the slopes of Bardhun in the land of Lubya, the owner of Alexandria hears about them, so he sends them his guards, so they do not return to him until the Romans descend on Alexandria. I wish that the Lahmiq of Quraysh were alive that day, so I would say: O fool, imprison your horses, for they will deceive you.

Scholarly Commentary & Context

Synthesized commentary, isnad grading & cross-references

[Collection & Reference]: Narration #1444 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.
