Abdullah ibn Muhammad ibn Abi Shaybah told us - and I myself heard it from Abdullah ibn Muhammad ibn Abi Shaybah - he said: Zayd ibn al-Hubab told us, he said: al-Walid ibn al-Mughirah al-Ma'afiri told me, he said: Abdullah ibn Bishr al-Khath'ami told me, from his father, that he heard the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, say, "Constantinople will surely be conquered; how excellent a commander its commander will be, and how excellent an army that army will be." He said: Then Maslamah ibn Abd al-Malik summoned me and asked me about it, so I related it to him, and he then set out on a military campaign against Constantinople.
