فَتْحُ مَدِينَةِ القُسطنطينية
The conquest of Constantinople
Hadith 12947
عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بِشْرٍ النَّخْعِيِّ عَنْ أَبِيهِ بِشْرِ بْنِ سُحَيْمٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ”لَتُفْتَحَنَّ الْقُسْطُنْطِينِيَّةُ فَلَنِعْمَ الْأَمِيرُ أَمِيرُهَا وَلَنِعْمَ الْجَيْشُ ذَلِكَ الْجَيْشُ“ قَالَ: فَدَعَانِي مَسْلَمَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ فَسَأَلَنِي فَحَدَّثْتُهُ فَغَزَا الْقُسْطُنْطِينِيَّةَ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Bishr bin Suhaim (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." Abdullah says: Maslamah bin Abdul Malik called me and asked me about this, so I narrated this hadith to him, and because of this, he launched an expedition against Constantinople.
Hadith 12948
وَعَنْ أَبِي قَبِيلٍ قَالَ: كُنَّا عِنْدَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو بْنِ الْعَاصِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ وَسُئِلَ أَيُّ الْمَدِينَتَيْنِ تُفْتَحُ أَوَّلًا، الْقُسْطُنْطِينِيَّةُ أَوْ رُومِيَّةُ فَدَعَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بِصَنْدُوقٍ لَهُ حِلَقٌ، فَأَخْرَجَ مِنْهُ كِتَابًا، قَالَ: فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ: بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ حَوْلَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ نَكْتُبُ إِذْ سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَيُّ الْمَدِينَتَيْنِ تُفْتَحُ أَوَّلًا، أَقُسْطُنْطِينِيَّةُ أَوْ رُومِيَّةُ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ”مَدِينَةُ هِرَقْلَ تُقْتَحُ أَوَّلًا“ يَعْنِي الْقُسْطُنْطِينِيَّةَ
Abu Qabeel says: We were sitting with Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr bin Aas (may Allah be pleased with him) when he was asked which of the two cities, Constantinople or Rome, would be conquered first. He called for a box with hinges, took out a book from it, and said: Once we were sitting around the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) writing down ahadith, when the same question was asked to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): Which city will be conquered first, Constantinople or Rome? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) replied: The city of Heraclius, that is, Constantinople, will be conquered first.
Hadith 12949
وَعَنْ مُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ: ”الْمَلْحَمَةُ الْعُظْمَى وَفَتْحُ الْقُسْطُنْطِينِيَّةُ وَخُرُوجُ الدَّجَّالِ فِي سَبْعَةِ أَشْهُرٍ“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him), the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Great bloodshed, the conquest of Constantinople, and the appearance of the Dajjal—these three events will manifest within seven months.
Hadith 12950
وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ بُسْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ”بَيْنَ الْمَلْحَمَةِ وَفَتْحِ الْمَدِينَةِ سِتُّ سِنِينَ وَيَخْرُجُ مَسِيحُ الدَّجَّالِ فِي السَّابِعَةِ“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Busr (may Allah be pleased with him), the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: There will be a gap of six years between the great bloodshed and the conquest of Constantinople, and in the seventh year the Dajjal will appear.
