[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Yemen will be opened, then a group of people will come and settle there, carrying their families and those who obey them. But the city (Medina) is better for them if they only knew. Then Iraq will be opened, and a group of people will come and settle there, carrying their families and those who obey them. And the city (Medina) is better for them if they only knew. Then Sham (Syria) will be opened, and a group of people will come and settle there, carrying their families and those who obey them. And the city (Medina) is better for them if they only knew." Ahmed ibn Dawud al-Makki added in his narration: Uruwa said, "Then I met Sufyan ibn Abu Zuhaire at the time of his death, and he informed me of this hadith."
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «تُفْتَحُ الْيَمَنُ فَيَجِيءُ رِجَالٌ يَبُسُّونَ فَيَتَحَمَّلُونَ بِأَهَالِيهِمْ وَمَنْ أَطَاعَهُمْ وَلَكِنَّ الْمَدِينَةَ خَيْرٌ لَهُمْ لَوْ كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ ثُمَّ تُفْتَحُ الْعِرَاقُ فَيَجِيءُ رِجَالٌ يَبُسُّونَ فَيَتَحَمَّلُونَ بِأَهَالِيهِمْ وَمَنْ أَطَاعَهُمْ وَالْمَدِينَةُ خَيْرٌ لَهُمْ لَوْ كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ ثُمَّ تُفْتَحُ الشَّامُ فَيَجِيءُ رِجَالٌ يَبُسُّونَ فَيَتَحَمَّلُونَ بِأَهَالِيهِمْ وَمَنْ أَطَاعَهُمْ وَالْمَدِينَةُ خَيْرٌ لَهُمْ لَوْ كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ» زَادَ أَحْمَدُ بْنُ دَاوُدَ الْمَكِّيُّ فِي حَدِيثِهِ قَالَ عُرْوَةُ ثُمَّ لَقِيتُ سُفْيَانَ بْنَ أَبِي زُهَيْرٍ عِنْدَ مَوْتِهِ فَأَخْبَرَنِي بِهَذَا الْحَدِيثِ
