حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ صَالِحِ بْنِ هَانِئٍ ثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ ثَنَا أَبُو الطَّاهِرِ ثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ أَخْبَرَنِي يَحْيَى بْنُ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ أَبِي قَبِيلٍ الْمَعَافِرِيِّ قَالَ

كُنَّا عِنْدَ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِ فَسُئِلَ أَيُّ الْمَدِينَتَيْنِ تُفْتَحُ أَوَّلًا قُسْطَنْطِينِيَّةُ أَوْ رُومِيَّةُ؟ قَالَ فَدَعَا بِصُنْدُوقٍ طُهُمٍ وَالطُّهُمُ الْخَلْقُ فَأَخْرَجَ مِنْهَا كِتَابًا فَنَظَرَ فِيهِ ثُمَّ قَالَ كُنَّا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ نَكْتُبُ مَا قَالَ فَسُئِلَ أَيُّ الْمَدِينَتَيْنِ تُفْتَحُ أَوَّلًا الْقُسْطَنْطِينِيَّةُ أَوِ الرُّومِيَّةِ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «مَدِينَةُ هِرَقْلَ تُفْتَحُ أَوَّلًا» يَعْنِي الْقُسْطَنْطِينِيَّةَ

✧ We were with 'Abd Allah b. 'Amr b. al-'As when he was asked, "Which of the two cities will be conquered first, Constantinople or Rome?" He called for a box, Tuhum (meaning an old, worn box), took out a book from it, looked into it, then said, "We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ writing down what he said when he was asked, 'Which of the two cities will be conquered first, Constantinople or Rome?' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'The city of Heraclius will be conquered first'—meaning Constantinople."
