[Machine] I heard Mu'awiyah delivering a sermon and he said, "O people of Syria, An Ansari informed me that Shu'bah, meaning Zaid bin Arqam, said, 'The Prophet ﷺ said, "There will always be a group of people from my Ummah (nation) who will fight for the truth until the command of Allah comes to them."' And I think that you are those people, O people of Syria."
سَمِعْتُ مُعَاوِيَةَ يَخْطُبُ وَهُوَ يَقُولُ يَا أَهْلَ الشَّامِ حَدَّثَنِي الْأَنْصَارِيُّ قَالَ شُعْبَةُ يَعْنِي زَيْدَ بْنَ أَرْقَمَ إِنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «لَا يَزَالُ نَاسٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِي يُقَاتِلُونَ عَلَى الْحَقِّ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَهُمُ الْأَمْرُ» وَإِنِّي لَأَظُنُّكُمْ هُمْ يَا أَهْلَ الشَّامِ
