[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "There will be armies in Sham (Syria) and armies in Yemen." A man said, "O Messenger of Allah, be pleased with me if that happens." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "You should go to Sham, go to Sham, go to Sham. There are three times. If a person refuses, then let him join his Yemen and let him drink from its betrayal. Indeed, Allah has guaranteed me and its people." Abu An-Nadrimah (narrator) said, "Let him join his Yemen."

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ سَيَكُونُ جُنْدٌ بِالشَّامِ وَجُنْدٌ بِالْيَمَنِ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ فَخِرْ لِي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِذَا كَانَ ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ عَلَيْكَ بِالشَّامِ عَلَيْكَ بِالشَّامِ ثَلَاثًا عَلَيْكَ بِالشَّامِ فَمَنْ أَبَى فَلْيَلْحَقْ بِيَمَنِهِ وَلْيَسْقِ مِنْ غُدُرِهِ فَإِنَّ اللهَ قَدْ تَكَفَّلَ لِي بِالشَّامِ وَأَهْلِهِ قَالَ أَبُو النَّضْرِمَرَّتَيْنِ فَلْيَلْحَقْ بِيَمَنِهِ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "You will be enlisted with armies, an army in Sham (Syria), an army in Iraq, and an army in Yemen." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, if I have a choice, then which one should I join?" He said, "You should go to Sham, and whoever refuses, let him join the army in Yemen, and let him drink from its springs.

"سيكُونْ جندٌ بالشَّام وجُنْدٌ بالْيمنِ. قَال رجلٌ: فَخِرْ لِى يا رسُول الله قَال: علَيْك بِالشَّام، عَليْكَ بِالشَّامِ، علَيْكَ بِالشَّامِ، فَمنْ أَبى فَلْيلْحق بِيَمنِهِ ولَيُسْقَ مِنْ غَدُرِهِ؛ فَإِنْ الله تَباركَ وتَعالَى قَدْ تَكَفَّل لِى بالشَّامِ وأَهْلِهِ".
