"عَنِ الْقَاسِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ قَالَ: مَدَّ الفُرَاتُ عَلَى عَهْدِ عَبْدِ اللهِ، فَكَره النَّاسُ ذَلِكَ، فَقَالَ عَبْدُ اللهِ: يَأَيُّهَا النَّاسُ! لا تَكَرهُوا مَدَّهُ فَإِنَّهُ يُوشِكُ أَنْ يُلتَمَسَ فِيهِ مِلْءُ طَسْتٍ مِنْ مَاءٍ فَلَا يُوجَدُ، ذَلِكَ حين يَرْجِعُ كُلُّ مَاءٍ إِلَى عُنْصُرِهِ، فَيَكُونُ وَبَقِيَّةُ المَاءِ، وَبَقِيَّةُ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ بِالشَّامِ".

"From al-Qasim ibn 'Abd al-Rahman who said: The Euphrates swelled in the time of Abdullah, and people disliked that. Abdullah said: O people! Do not dislike its swelling, for it is about to happen that one would seek a basin full of water in it and not find it. That will be when every water returns to its source, and what remains of the water and what remains of the believers will be in al-Sham."
