[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»  

"سيكُونْ جندٌ بالشَّام وجُنْدٌ بالْيمنِ. قَال رجلٌ: فَخِرْ لِى يا رسُول الله قَال: علَيْك بِالشَّام، عَليْكَ بِالشَّامِ، علَيْكَ بِالشَّامِ، فَمنْ أَبى فَلْيلْحق بِيَمنِهِ ولَيُسْقَ مِنْ غَدُرِهِ؛ فَإِنْ الله تَباركَ وتَعالَى قَدْ تَكَفَّل لِى بالشَّامِ وأَهْلِهِ".  

" عَنْ عَبْد الله بْنِ يَزيدَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ الله ﷺ قَالَ: يَكُونُ بِالشَّامِ جُنْدٌ، وِبالْعِراق جُنْدٌ، وَبِالْيَمَن جُنْدٌ، فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ الله: خِرْ لِى، قَالَ: عَلَيْكَ بِالشَّامِ فَإنَّ الله قَدْ تَوكَّلَ لِىَ بِالشَّامِ وَأَهْلِهِ".
