English

[7279] 35 -(2898) Müsâ bin 'Ulayy narrated that his father said: In the presence of 'Amr bin A]-'As, A1-Mustawrid Al-QurashI said: I heard the Messenger of Allah 6t, 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 Allah . 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.
