[Machine] Abu Bakr Al-Siddiq, after the Prophet ﷺ , prepared armies, some of which were led by Shurahbil ibn Hasanah, Yazid ibn Abi Sufyan, and Amr ibn Al-Aas. They marched until they reached the Levant, where the Romans gathered a great multitude against them. Abu Bakr was informed of this, so he sent a message to Khalid ibn Al-Walid, who was in Iraq, instructing him to immediately bring three thousand Persian soldiers to support their brothers in the Levant. Khalid responded swiftly, with his army and his steeds, and the earth trembled under the weight of those with him, until he arrived in Damir. There he found the Muslims camped in Jabiyah, and the Arab tribes who were under Roman rule heard of Khalid's arrival and were alarmed. In this regard, one of them said, "Oh, how we long for the horses of Abu Bakr! Perhaps our dream is close, but we do not know." In another narration by Imam Al-Shafi'i, he said in Al-Mabsut, "Oh, how we long for the morning before the dawn breaks! Perhaps our dream is close, but we ​​do not know. We obeyed the Messenger of Allah without hesitation when he was among us. Oh, how strange it is! What has happened to the power of Abu Bakr? If they ask you for something, and you refuse them, it is like depriving them of dates or something sweeter than dates. We will deprive them of anything that remains noble in us when times are difficult." This is what Abu Abdullah Al-Hafiz narrated and attributed to Abu Al-Abbas, who attributed it to Al-Rabi' ibn Anas, who attributed it to Al-Shafi'i. He mentioned these verses, and Al-Shafi'i said, "They said to Abu Bakr after Asr prayer, 'We did not commit disbelief after believing, but we have become stingy with our wealth.'"
