وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى: حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ، عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ: خَوْلِيٌّ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ:
إِنَّكُمْ سَتُجَنَّدُونَ أَجْنَادًا، جُنْدًا بِالشَّامِ وَجُنْدًا بِالْيَمَنِ، فَقَالَ لَهُ خَوْلِيُّ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ خِرْ لِي، قَالَ ﷺ: عَلَيْكَ بِالشَّامِ، فَمَنْ أَبَى فَلْيَلْحَقْ بِيَمَنِهِ، وَلْيَسْقِ بِغُدُرِهِ، فَإِنَّ اللهَ تَعَالَى قَدْ تَكَفَّلَ لِي بِالشَّامِ وَأَهْلِهِ

✧ You will be organized into armies: an army in al-Sham and an army in Yemen. A man from Khawlan said: O Messenger of Allah, choose for me. He ﷺ said: Upon you is al-Sham, and whoever refuses, let him join his Yemen and draw water from its ponds, for Allah Almighty has guaranteed me al-Sham and its people.
