====Conquest of Constantinopole without fighting====
Apologists point to this hadith. It is considered da'eef by Albani, but sahih by Dhahabi:
{{Quote|Musnad Ahmad 14:331|
لتفتحن القسطنطينية، فلنعم الأمير أميرها، ولنعم الجيش ذلك الجيش
Verily you shall conquer Constantinople. What a wonderful leader will her
leader be, and what a wonderful army will that army be!
}}
Muslims [https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fall_of_Constantinople conquered Constantinople] in 1453. Since Muhammad himself was waging wars, it was expected that Muslims after his death would continue conquering. Muhammad conquered Arabia and Constantinople wasn't that far away. So this wasn't a hard prediction. Also it's not time-specific. So even if it didn't happen, Muslims could still think it would happen in the future.
But the biggest problem is that there are other hadiths which give details that were not fullfilled. The Hour was expected to come with it:
{{Quote|Tirmidhi Vol. 4, Book 7, Hadith 2239|
Anas bin Malik said:
"Constantinople will be conquered with the coming of the Hour."
}}
And the conquest should have happened without fighting:
{{Quote|{{Muslim|41|6979}}|
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Apostle (may peace he upon him) saying:
You have heard about a city, one side of which is on land and the other is in the sea ('''Constantinople'''). They said: Allah's Messenger, yes. Thereupon he said: The Last Hour would not come unless seventy thousand persons from Bani lshaq would attack it. When they would land there, '''they will neither fight with weapons nor would shower arrows but would only say: "There is no god but Allah and Allah is the Greatest," ''' and one side of it would fall. Thaur (one of the narrators) said: I think that he said: The part by the side of the ocean. Then they would say for the second time: "There is no god but Allah and Allah is the Greatest" and the second side would also fall, and they would say: "There is no god but Allah and Allah is the Greatest," and the gates would be opened for them and they would enter therein and, they would be collecting spoils of war and distributing them amongst themselves when a noise would be heard saying: Verily, Dajjal has come. And thus they would leave everything there and go back.

===="You shall conquer Constantinople"====
This hadith is considered da'eef by Albani, but sahih by Dhahabi:
{{Quote|Musnad Ahmad 14:331|
لتفتحن القسطنطينية، فلنعم الأمير أميرها، ولنعم الجيش ذلك الجيش
Verily you shall conquer Constantinople. What a wonderful leader will her
leader be, and what a wonderful army will that army be!

Muhammad himself was waging wars, so it was expected that Muslims after his death would continue conquering. Muhammad conquered Arabia and Constantinople wasn't that far away. This wasn't a hard prediction. Also it's not time-specific. So even if it didn't happen, Muslims could still think it would happen in the future.
There are other (sahih) narrations which link the conquest closely to the Hour:
{{Quote|Tirmidhi Vol. 4, Book 7, Hadith 2239|
Anas bin Malik said:
"Constantinople will be conquered with the coming of the Hour."
}}
Constantinople was conquered and the Hour didn't come with it. Some Muslims today believe that the prediction doesn't refer to the conquest of Constantinople in the 15th century, but to a conquest that will happen when the mahdi comes. The hadith doesn't seem to say that.
