[Machine] We were with Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-Aas and he was asked which city would be conquered first, Constantinople or Rome. So Abdullah called for a box he had and said, "He (the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ) mentioned it while we were around him writing. The Prophet ﷺ was asked which city would be conquered first, Constantinople or Rome, and he replied, 'The city of Heraclius (Constantinople) will be conquered first,' meaning Constantinople."

كُنَّا عِنْدَ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرِو بْنِ الْعَاصِي وَسُئِلَ أَيُّ الْمَدِينَتَيْنِ تُفْتَحُ أَوَّلًا الْقُسْطَنْطِينِيَّةُ أَوْ رُومِيَّةُ؟ فَدَعَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بِصُنْدُوقٍ لَهُ حَلَقٌ قَالَ فَأَخْرَجَ مِنْهُ كِتَابًا قَالَ فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ حَوْلَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ نَكْتُبُ إِذْ سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَيُّ الْمَدِينَتَيْنِ تُفْتَحُ أَوَّلًا قُسْطَنْطِينِيَّةُ أَوْ رُومِيَّةُ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مَدِينَةُ هِرَقْلَ تُفْتَحُ أَوَّلًا يَعْنِي قُسْطَنْطِينِيَّةَ

[Machine] We were with Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-As when he was asked, "Which of the two cities, Constantinople or Rome, will be conquered first?" He called for a hidden chest, and from it he took out a book. He looked into it and then said, "We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and used to write down whatever he said. He was asked, 'Which of the two cities, Constantinople or Rome, will be conquered first?' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'The city of Heraclius will be conquered first.' He meant Constantinople."
