[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."  

الطبراني:٤٩٦٧حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ صَالِحِ بْنِ الْوَلِيدِ النَّرْسِيُّ ثنا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ بْنِ أَبِي كَبْشَةَ ثنا أَبُو دَاوُدَ ثنا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ أَبِي عَبْدِ اللهِ الشَّامِيِّ قَالَ

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

[Machine] I heard Muawiya delivering a sermon saying, "O people of Sham, An Ansari informed me that Shu'bah, meaning Zaid ibn Arqam, said that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'A group of my Ummah will remain steadfast upon the truth, manifestly, and I hope that you are among them, O people of Sham.'"
