[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. Indeed, Allah, the Almighty, has taken upon Himself the responsibility of protecting me and its people."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ سَتُجَنَّدُونَ أَجْنَادًا جُنْدًا بِالشَّامِ وَجُنْدًا بِالْعِرَاقِ وَجُنْدًا بِالْيَمَنِ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ اخْتَرْ لِي قَالَ «عَلَيْكُمْ بِالشَّامِ فَمَنْ أَبَى فَلْيَلْحَقْ بِيَمَنِهِ وَلْيَسْقِ مِنْ غُدُرِهِ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ ﷻ تَكَفَّلَ لِي بِالشَّامِ وَأَهْلِهِ»

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Indeed, you will be recruited into armies, an army in Sham, an army in Iraq, and an army in Yemen." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, which one should I join?" He said, "You should join the army in Sham. Whoever refuses, let them go to Yemen, but beware of its treachery. Indeed, Allah has taken charge of Sham and its people for me."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «إِنَّكُمْ سَتُجَنَّدُونَ أَجْنَادًا جُنْدًا بِالشَّامِ وَجُنْدًا بِالْعِرَاقِ وَجُنْدًا بِالْيَمَنِ» قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ خِرْ لِي؟ قَالَ «عَلَيْكَ بِالشَّامِ فَمَنْ أَبَى فَلْيَلْحَقْ بِيَمَنِهِ وَلْيَسْقِ مِنْ غُدَرِهِ فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ تَكَفَّلَ لِي بِالشَّامِ وَأَهْلِهِ»

"إِنَّكم سَتُجَنَّدون أَجنادًا جندًا بالشامِ ومصرَ والعراقِ واليمنِ، قالوا: فخر لنا يا رسول اللَّه، قالَ: عليكم بالشَّامِ، فمن أَبى فليلحقِ بِيَمَنه، وليسق بغدره، فإِنَّ اللَّه قد تَكَفَّلَ لى بالشام ".

"عَلَيكُمْ بِالشَّامِ فإِنَّهَا صَفْوَةُ بِلاد اللهِ، يَسكُنُهَا خِيرتُهُ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ، فَمَنْ أبَى فَليَلْحِق بِيَمِنِهِ وَلَيَسْقِ مِنْ غُدُرِه، فَإِنَّ الله تَعَالى تَكَفَّلَ لِي بالشَّامِ وأَهْلِهِ".

"يَكُونُ بِالشَّامِ جُنْدٌ، وَبِالْعِرَاقِ جُنْدٌ وَبِالْيَمَنِ جُنْدٌ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّه: خِرْ لِى، فَقَالَ: عَلَيْكَ بِالشَّامِ! فَإِنَّ اللَّه قَدْ تَكَفَّلَ بالشَّامِ وَأَهْلِهِ".
