"عَنْ أَسْمَاءَ بِنْتِ يَزِيد قَالَتْ: كَانَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ الغِفَارِيُّ يَخْدُمُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَإِذَا فَرغَ مِنْ خِدْمَتِهِ آوى إلى المَسْجِد، فَكَانَ هُوَ بَيْتَهُ يَضْطِجُعُ فِيهِ، فَدَخَلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَيْلَةً إِلَى المَسْجِدِ فَوَجَدَ أَبَا ذَرٍّ نَائِمًا مُنْجَدِلًا في المَسْجِدِ، فَرَكَضَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ بِرِجْلِهِ حتَّى اسْتَوَى قَاعِدًا، فقَالَ لَهُ رَسولُ اللهِ ﷺ: إِنِّي أَرَاكَ نَائِمًا فِيهِ، فقَالَ أَبُو ذَرٍّ: أَيْنَ أَنَامُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ مَالِي مِنْ مَبِيتٍ غيره، فَجَلَسَ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ كَيْفَ أَنْتَ إِذَا أَخْرَجُوكَ مِنْهُ؟ قَالَ: إِذَنْ أَلْحق بِالشَّامِ؛ فَإِنَّ الشَّامَ أَرْضُ الهِجْرَةِ وَأَرْضُ المَحْشَرِ، وَأَرْضُ الأَنْبِيَاءِ، فَأَكُون رَجُلًا مِنْ أَهْلِهَا، قَالَ: فَكيْفَ أَنْتَ إِذَا أَخْرَجُوكَ مِنَ الشَّامِ؟ قَالَ: إِذَنْ أَرْجِع إِلَيْهِ فَيَكُون هُوَ بَيْتِي وَمَنْزِلِي، قَالَ: فَكَيْفَ أَنْتَ إِذَا أَخْرَجُوكَ مِنْهُ ثَانِيَةً؟ قَالَ: آخُذُ سَيْفِي فَأُقَاتِلُ حَتَّى أَمُوتَ، فَكَشَّرَ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فأثْبَتَهُ بِيَدِهِ فَقَالَ: أَلا أَدُلُّكَ عَلَى مَا هُوَ خَيْرٌ مِنْ ذَلِكَ؟ قَالَ: بَلَى بِأَبِي وَأُمِّي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: تَنْقَادُ لَهُمْ حَيْثُ قَادُوكَ، وَتَنْسَاقُ لَهُمْ حَيْثُ سَاقُوكَ حَتَّى تَلْقَانِي وَأَنْتَ [عَلَى] ذَلِكَ".

"From Asmāʾ bint Yazīd, who said: Abū Dharr al-Ghifārī used to serve the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and when he finished his service he would take shelter in the mosque, and it was his house in which he would lie down. One night the Messenger of Allah ﷺ entered the mosque and found Abū Dharr sleeping, stretched out on the ground in the mosque. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ nudged him with his foot until he sat upright. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him: 'I see you sleeping in it.' Abū Dharr said: 'Where shall I sleep, O Messenger of Allah? I have no place to spend the night other than it.' So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ sat beside him and said: 'How will you be when they drive you out of it?' He said: 'Then I will join ash-Shām, for ash-Shām is the land of emigration, the land of the gathering, and the land of the prophets, so I will be a man of its people.' He said: 'And how will you be when they drive you out of ash-Shām?' He said: 'Then I will return to it, and it will be my house and my dwelling.' He said: 'And how will you be when they drive you out of it a second time?' He said: 'I will take my sword and fight until I die.' So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ smiled at him and held him firmly with his hand, and said: 'Shall I not guide you to what is better than that?' He said: 'Yes, may my father and mother be your ransom, O Messenger of Allah.' The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Submit to them wherever they lead you, and go along with them wherever they drive you, until you meet me while you are [in] that state.'"
