حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ يَعْنِي ابْنَ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَصْحَابُ مُحَمَّدٍ ﷺ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ
سَتُفْتَحُ عَلَيْكُمُ الشَّامُ، فَإِذَا خُيِّرْتُمُ الْمَنَازِلَ فِيهَا، فَعَلَيْكُمْ بِمَدِينَةٍ يُقَالُ لَهَا: دِمَشْقُ، فَإِنَّهَا مَعْقِلُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ مِنَ الْمَلَاحِمِ، وَفُسْطَاطُهَا مِنْهَا بِأَرْضٍ يُقَالُ لَهَا: الْغُوطَةُ
