أَخْبَرَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ أَبِي قَبِيلٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عَمْرٍو قَالَ
بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ حَوْلَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ نَكْتُبُ إِذْ سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ أَيُّ الْمَدِينَتَيْنِ تُفْتَحُ أَوَّلًا قُسْطَنْطِينِيَّةُ أَوْ رُومِيَّةُ؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «لَا بَلْ مَدِينَةُ هِرَقْلَ أَوَّلًا»
