Hadith 12417
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بِشْرٍ الْخَثْعَمِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ ”لَتُفْتَحَنَّ الْقُسْطَنْطِينِيَّةُ فَلَنِعْمَ الْأَمِيرُ أَمِيرُهَا وَلَنِعْمَ الْجَيْشُ ذَلِكَ الْجَيْشُ“ قَالَ فَدَعَانِي مَسْلَمَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ فَسَأَلَنِي فَحَدَّثْتُهُ فَغَزَا الْقُسْطَنْطِينِيَّةَ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Bishr Khath'ami (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Constantinople will certainly be conquered; its commander will be the best commander and that army will be the best army." He says: Maslamah bin Abdul Malik summoned me and asked me about this, so I narrated this hadith to him, thus he attacked Constantinople.
