[7279] 35 - (2898) Mûsâ bin 'Ulayy narrated that his father said: In the presence of 'Amr bin Al-'Âs, Al-Mustawrid Al-Qurashî said: I heard the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ say: "The Hour will begin when the Byzantines are the most prevalent of people." 'Amr said to him: Watch what you are saying. He said: I say that which I heard from the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ. He said: As you say that, indeed they have four qualities: They are the most patient of people at times of tribulation; they are the quickest to recover after a calamity; they are the quickest to regroup and attack after a defeat; and they are the best of them to the poor, orphans and weak. And a fifth good quality is that they are most resistant of the oppression of kings.

35 - (2898) حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ بْنُ شُعَيْبِ بْنِ اللَّيْثِ، حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، حَدَّثَنِي مُوسَى بْنُ عُلَيٍّ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، قَالَ: قَالَ الْمُسْتَوْرِدُ الْقُرَشِيُّ، عِنْدَ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولُ: «تَقُومُ السَّاعَةُ وَالرُّومُ أَكْثَرُ النَّاسِ» فَقَالَ لَهُ عَمْرٌو: أَبْصِرْ مَا تَقُولُ، قَالَ: أَقُولُ مَا سَمِعْتُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: لَئِنْ قُلْتَ ذَلِكَ، إِنَّ فِيهِمْ لَخِصَالًا أَرْبَعًا: إِنَّهُمْ لَأَحْلَمُ النَّاسِ عِنْدَ فِتْنَةٍ، وَأَسْرَعُهُمْ إِفَاقَةً بَعْدَ مُصِيبَةٍ، وَأَوْشَكُهُمْ كَرَّةً بَعْدَ فَرَّةٍ وَخَيْرُهُمْ لِمِسْكِينٍ وَيَتِيمٍ وَضَعِيفٍ، وَخَامِسَةٌ حَسَنَةٌ جَمِيلَةٌ: وَأَمْنَعُهُمْ مِنْ ظُلْمِ الْمُلُوكِ
