[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»
