I came across the following hadith about the Byzantines on [this](https://www.abuaminaelias.com/dailyhadithonline/2013/06/12/romans-five-good-traits/) website:
> Al-Mustawrid reported: He said in front of Amr ibn al-‘As that he
> heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say,
> “The Hour will be established while the Romans are the majority of
> people.” Amr said, “Be careful what you say.” He said, “I have said
> what I heard from the Messenger of Allah.” Amr said, “If the Prophet
> said that, indeed, there are four good qualities in them: they are the
> most forbearing of people in tribulation, they are the quickest to
> recover after a calamity, they are the most eager to return after a
> retreat, and they are good to the poor, the orphan, and the
> vulnerable. Their fifth quality is good and beautiful: they are the
> best at stopping the oppression of their kings.”
>
> Source: Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2898
>
> Grade: Sahih (authentic) according to Muslim
