[Machine] He came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "I have prepared the horses, prepared the weapons, and prepared the burdens of war." I said, "There is no fighting." The Prophet ﷺ said to him, "Now the fighting has come. A group from my nation will continue to manifest themselves to the people, and Allah will cast terror into the hearts of some nations, and they will fight them, and Allah will provide them with sustenance from them, until the command of Allah comes while they are in that state. Indeed, the reward of the believers' abode is Sham (Greater Syria), and horses are tied at their reins for goodness until the Day of Resurrection."
