[Machine] I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying to Hudhaifa bin Al-Yaman and Muadh bin Jabal while they were consulting him in his house: "You should go to Sham, for it is the best of Allah's lands. The best of His creation live there. So, whoever dislikes it should join his right hand with my hand, and whoever dislikes it should drink from his deceit. Indeed, Allah has taken care of me and its people."

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ لِحُذَيْفَةَ بْنِ الْيَمَانِ وَمُعَاذِ بْنِ جَبَلٍ وَهُمَا يَسْتَشِيرَانِهِ فِي الْمَنْزِلِ فَأَوْمَى إِلَى الشَّامِ ثُمَّ سَأَلَاهُ فَأَوْمَى إِلَى الشَّامِ ثُمَّ سَأَلَاهُ فَأَوْمَى إِلَى الشَّامِ قَالَ «عَلَيْكُمْ بِالشَّامِ فَإِنَّهَا صَفْوَةُ بِلَادِ اللهِ يَسْكُنُهَا خِيرَتُهُ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ فَمَنْ أَبَى فَلْيَلْحَقْ بِيَمَنِهِ وَلْيَسْقِ مِنْ غُدُرِهِ فَإِنَّ اللهَ تَكَفَّلَ لِي بِالشَّامِ وَأَهْلِهِ»

[Machine] "Narrated to us a story that I heard from the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ . He said, 'I heard Mu'adh and Hudhayfah consulting with the Prophet, ﷺ , in his house. He leaned towards them, leaning on the Sham (a region in Syria). Then he consulted them, leaning towards the Sham. Then he consulted them, leaning towards the Sham.' He said in the third time, 'Choose Sham, for it is the best of Allah's lands, and the best of His servants reside in it. Whoever refuses, let him join his left and drink its poison, for Allah has taken care of me and its people.'"

حَدِّثْنَا حَدِيثًا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ مُعَاذًا وَحُذَيْفَةَ يَسْتَشِيرَانِ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فِي الْمَنْزِلِ فَأَوْمَى إِلَيْهِمَا بِالشَّامِ ثُمَّ اسْتَشَارَاهُ فَأَوْمَى إِلَيْهِمَا بِالشَّامِ ثُمَّ اسْتَشَارَاهُ فَأَوْمَى إِلَيْهِمَا بِالشَّامِ قَالَ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ «عَلَيْكُمْ بِالشَّامِ فَإِنَّهَا صَفْوَةُ بِلَادِ اللهِ يَسْكُنُهَا خِيرَتُهُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ وَمَنْ أَبَى فَلْيَلْحَقْ بِيَمَنِهِ وَلْيَسْقِ بِغُدُرِهِ فَإِنَّ اللهَ قَدْ تَكَفَّلَ لِي بِالشَّامِ وَأَهْلِهِ»
