[Machine] He was with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ while he was being generous to himself, so he said, "What is the matter with you, Shaddad?" He said, "The world has become narrow for me." He said, "You should not worry about it, for surely Sham will be conquered and the Masjid al-Aqsa will be opened, and you and your offspring will be leaders in them if Allah wills."
أَنَّهُ كَانَ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ وَهُوَ يَجُودُ بِنَفْسِهِ فَقَالَ «مَالَكَ يَا شَدَّادُ؟» قَالَ ضَاقَتْ بِيَ الدُّنْيَا فَقَالَ «لَيْسَ عَلَيْكَ إِنَّ الشَّامَ يُفْتَحُ وَيُفْتَحُ بَيْتُ الْمَقْدِسِ فَتَكُونُ أَنْتَ وَوَلَدُكَ أَئِمَّةً فِيهِمْ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ»
