[Machine] On the authority of Khuraym bin Fatik al-Asadi, the companion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , he heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "The people of Sham (Greater Syria) are the whip of Allah on His land. He avenges with them whomever He wills among His servants, and it is forbidden for their hypocrites to openly oppose their believers. They will not die except in distress and confusion."
