حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ حَدَّثَنَا صَفْوَانُ حَدَّثَنِي شُرَيْحٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ عُبَيْدٍ قَالَ
ذُكِرَ أَهْلُ الشَّامِ عِنْدَ عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ وَهُوَ بِالْعِرَاقِ، فَقَالُوا: الْعَنْهُمْ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، قَالَ: لَا، إِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ: الْأَبْدَالُ يَكُونُونَ بِالشَّامِ، وَهُمْ أَرْبَعُونَ رَجُلًا، كُلَّمَا مَاتَ رَجُلٌ أَبْدَلَ اللهُ مَكَانَهُ رَجُلًا، يُسْقَى بِهِمُ الْغَيْثُ، وَيُنْتَصَرُ بِهِمْ عَلَى الْأَعْدَاءِ، وَيُصْرَفُ عَنْ أَهْلِ الشَّامِ بِهِمُ الْعَذَابُ

✧ The people of Syria were mentioned in the presence of Ali b. Abu Talib while he was in Iraq, and they said: Curse them, O Commander of the Faithful. He said: No, for I heard the Messenger of God ﷺ say: The substitutes (abdal) will be in Syria, and they are forty men. Whenever a man dies, God replaces him with another man. Through them rain is given, through them victory is gained over enemies, and through them punishment is averted from the people of Syria.
