[Machine] Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ : "Sham (Syria) is the chosen land of Allah, from which He selects His chosen people. So, whoever leaves Sham to go elsewhere, does so due to his own anger, and whoever enters it, does so due to Allah's mercy."
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «الشَّامُ صَفْوَةُ اللهِ مِنْ بِلَادِهِ يَجْتَبِي صَفْوَتَهُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ فَمَنْ خَرَجَ مِنَ الشَّامِ إِلَى غَيْرِهَا فَبِسَخْطَةٍ وَمَنْ دَخَلَهَا فَبِرَحْمَةٍ»
[Machine] "The Prophet ﷺ said, 'Sham (Greater Syria) is the chosen land of Allah, and the best of His servants are directed towards it. Whoever leaves Sham for another place does so in His anger, and whoever enters it from another place does so in His mercy.'"
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «الشَّامُ صَفْوَةُ اللَّهِ مِنْ بِلَادِهِ يَسُوقُ إِلَيْهَا صَفْوَةَ عِبَادِهِ مَنْ خَرَجَ مِنَ الشَّامِ إِلَى غَيْرِهَا فَبِسُخْطِهِ وَمَنْ دَخَلَ مِنْ غَيْرِهَا فَبِرَحْمَتِهِ»
"الشَّامُ صَفْوَةُ اللهِ مِنْ بِلادِهِ، إِلَيهَا يَجْتَبِى صَفْوَتَهُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ، فَمَنْ خَرَجَ مِنَ الشَّام إِلَى غَيرِهَا (فَبِسَخْطَة)، وَمَنْ دَخَلَهَا مِنْ غَيرِهَا (فَبِرَحْمَةٍ) ".
