"عَنَ أَبِى الدَّرْدَاءِ أَن النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ: إِنَّكُمْ سَتُجَنَّدُونَ أَجْنَادًا: جندًا بِالشَّامِ وَمِصْرَ والْعِرَاقِ والْيَمَنِ، قَالُوا: فَخِرْ لَنَا يَا رَسُولَ الله، قَالَ: عَلَيْكُمْ بالشَّامِ، قَالُوا: إِنَّا أَصْحَابُ مَاشِيَةٍ وَعَمُودٍ وَلا نُطيقُ الشَّامَ، قَالَ: فَمَنْ أَبَى، وَفِى لَفْظٍ: فَمَنْ لَمْ يُطقِ الشَّامَ -فَليَلْحَقْ بِيَمنِهِ وَلْيَسْقِ بِغُدَرِه، فَإِنَّ الله -تَعَالَى- قَدْ تَكَفَّل لِى بِالشَّامِ وَأَهْلِهِ".

"From Abū al-Dardāʾ: that the Prophet ﷺ said: You will be recruited as armies: an army in al-Shām, and Egypt, and Iraq, and Yemen. They said: Choose for us, O Messenger of God. He said: Keep to al-Shām. They said: We are people of livestock and tent-poles, and we cannot bear al-Shām. He said: Whoever refuses — and in one wording: whoever cannot bear al-Shām — let him join his Yemen and water his animals from its ponds, for God, the Exalted, has guaranteed al-Shām and its people to me."
