It was narrated from the Messenger of Allah, may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him, that he foretold the conquest of Rome. Abdullah bin Amr bin Al-Aas, may Allah be pleased with them both, said: The Messenger of Allah, may Allah’s prayers and peace be upon him, was asked: Which of the two cities will be conquered first: Constantinople or Rome? He said: “The city of Heraclius will be conquered first,” meaning Constantinople.
