[Machine] On the authority of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he said: "Lands and cities are conquered, and men will say to their brothers, 'Come to the countryside and the city, for it is better for them if they knew. No one can endure its hardships and difficulties except that I will be a witness or an intercessor for him on the Day of Resurrection."  

أحمد:٨٤٥٨حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ وَسُرَيْجٌ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا فُلَيْحٌ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ عُبَيْدِ بْنِ السَّبَّاقِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ تُفْتَحُ الْبِلَادُ وَالْأَمْصَارُ فَيَقُولُ الرِّجَالُ لِإِخْوَانِهِمْ هَلُمَّ إِلَى الرِّيفِ وَالْمَدِينَةُ خَيْرٌ لَهُمْ لَوْ كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ لَا يَصْبِرُ عَلَى لَأْوَائِهَا وَشِدَّتِهَا أَحَدٌ إِلَّا كُنْتُ لَهُ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ شَهِيدًا أَوْ شَفِيعًا

"تُفْتَحُ الْبِلَادُ، وَالأَمْصَارُ، فَيَقُولُ الرِّجالُ لإِخْوَانِهِمْ: هَلُمَّ إِلَى الرِّيفِ، وَالْمَدِينَةُ خَيْرٌ لَهُمْ، لَوْ كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ، لَا يَصْبِرُ عَلَى لأوَائِهَا وَشِدَّتِهَا أَحَدٌ إِلَّا كُنْتُ لَهُ يَوْمَ القَيامَةِ شَهِيدًا، أَوْ شَفِيعًا".
