"الشَّامُ صَفْوَةُ اللهِ مِنْ بِلادِهِ، إِلَيهَا يَجْتَبِى صَفْوَتَهُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ، فَمَنْ خَرَجَ مِنَ الشَّام إِلَى غَيرِهَا (فَبِسَخْطَة)، وَمَنْ دَخَلَهَا مِنْ غَيرِهَا (فَبِرَحْمَةٍ) ".

[Machine] "The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Sham (Greater Syria) is the chosen land of Allah, and the best of His servants are directed towards it. Whoever leaves Sham for another place does so in His anger, and whoever enters it from another place does so in His mercy.'"  

الحاكم:٨٥٥٥ – أَخْبَرَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ قُرَيْشٍ ثَنَا الْحَسَنُ بْنُ سُفْيَانَ ثَنَا صَفْوَانُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ ثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو عَائِذٍ عُفَيْرُ بْنُ مَعْدَانَ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ سُلَيْمَ بْنَ عَامِرٍ الْكَلَاعِيَّ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ الْبَاهِلِيِّ

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «الشَّامُ صَفْوَةُ اللَّهِ مِنْ بِلَادِهِ يَسُوقُ إِلَيْهَا صَفْوَةَ عِبَادِهِ مَنْ خَرَجَ مِنَ الشَّامِ إِلَى غَيْرِهَا فَبِسُخْطِهِ وَمَنْ دَخَلَ مِنْ غَيْرِهَا فَبِرَحْمَتِهِ»  

هَذَا حَدِيثٌ صَحِيحُ الْإِسْنَادِ عَلَى شَرْطِ مُسْلِمٍ وَلَمْ يُخْرِجَاهُ كلا وعفير هالك

[Machine] Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ : "Sham (Syria) is the chosen land of Allah, from which He selects His chosen people. So, whoever leaves Sham to go elsewhere, does so due to his own anger, and whoever enters it, does so due to Allah's mercy."  

الطبراني:٧٧١٨ – حَدَّثَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمَرْوَزِيُّ ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ ثنا الْوَلِيدُ بْنُ مُسْلِمٍ ثنا عُفَيْرُ بْنُ مَعْدَانَ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ سُلَيْمَ بْنَ عَامِرٍ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ
