Reply #4 - Today at 2:26am and how could I forget... the conquest of the capital of the Christian world, Constantinople, which we know came true, over 700 years after predicted
Quote:
"Verily you shall conquer Constantinople. What a wonderful leader will her
leader be, and what a wonderful army will that army be!"
Narrated from Bishr al-Khath`ami or al-Ghanawi by:
Ahmad, al-Musnad 14:331 #18859 [sahih chain according to Hamza al-Zayn]
al-Hakim, al-Mustadrak 4:421-422 [sahih according to him and al-Dhahabi
concurred]
al-Tabarani, al-Mu`jam al-Kabir 2:38 #1216 [sahih chain according toal-Haythami 6:218-219]
al-Bukhari, al-Tarikh al-Kabir 2:81 and al-Saghir 1:306
Ibn `Abd al-Barr, al-Isti`ab 8:170 [hasan chain according to him]
al-Suyuti, al-Jami` al-Saghir [sahih according to him]
And what a wonderful leader Sultan Muhammad al-Fatih (the Opener/Conqueror) was,. and what a mighty Ottoman army he commanded....
note, abus references are not linked.
So I googled one, the first one.
And found this :
Quote:The authentic hadith we posted about the conquest of Constantinople is usually interpreted to refer to the conquest that already took place at the hand of Muhammad Fatih -- may Allah be well-pleased with him
