حَدَّثَنَا حَيْوَةُ بْنُ شُرَيْحٍ، وَيَزِيدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ رَبِّهِ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا بَقِيَّةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي بَحِيرُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ، عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ مَعْدَانَ، عَنْ أَبِي قُتَيْلَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ حَوَالَةَ، أَنَّهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: " سَيَصِيرُ الْأَمْرُ، ، إِلَى أَنْ تَكُونُوا جُنُودًا مُجَنَّدَةً (١) ، جُنْدٌ بِالشَّامِ، وَجُنْدٌ بِالْيَمَنِ، وَجُنْدٌ بِالْعِرَاقِ "، قَالَ ابْنُ حَوَالَةَ: خِرْ لِي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنْ أَدْرَكْتُ ذَاكَ، قَالَ: " عَلَيْكَ بِالشَّامِ، فَإِنَّهُ خِيرَةُ اللهِ مِنْ أَرْضِهِ، يَجْتَبِي إِلَيْهِ خِيرَتَهُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ، فَإِنْ أَبَيْتُمْ فَعَلَيْكُمْ بِيَمَنِكُمْ، وَاسْقُوا مِنْ غُدُرِكُمْ، فَإِنَّ اللهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ قَدْ تَوَكَّلَ لِي بِالشَّامِ وَأَهْلِهِ " (٢)، ، . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .، ،
Translation
English translation
It is narrated from Ibn Hawalah that the Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Soon this matter will become so great that countless armies will be prepared; thus, one army will be in Shaam, one in Yemen, and one in Iraq." Ibn Hawalah asked: "O Messenger of Allah! If I reach that time, please tell me a chosen path?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Make Shaam obligatory upon yourself, for it is the best land of Allah, to which He selects His chosen servants. If you cannot do that, then make Yemen obligatory upon yourself, and keep giving people water from your reservoirs, for Allah the Exalted has taken the responsibility of the people of Shaam and the land of Shaam upon Himself for my sake."
