AHMAD 23018:
from Akhī Sahl b. ʿAbdullāh b. Buraydah from his father from his grandfather Buraydah —
[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying: "There will be many expeditions after me, so be in the expedition of Khorasan then descend to the city of Marw; for indeed it was built by Dhul-Qarnayn and he prayed for blessings for it, and its people will not suffer any harm."
أحمد ٢٣٠١٨:
عن اخي سهل بن عبد الله بن بريده عن أبيه عن جده بريده —
سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ سَتَكُونُ بَعْدِي بُعُوثٌ كَثِيرَةٌ فَكُونُوا فِي بَعْثِ خُرَاسَانَ ثُمَّ انْزِلُوا مَدِينَةَ مَرْوَ؛ فَإِنَّهُ بَنَاهَا ذُو الْقَرْنَيْنِ وَدَعَا لَهَا بِالْبَرَكَةِ وَلَا يَضُرُّ أَهْلَهَا سُوءٌ
