حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ عِرْقٍ الْحِمْصِيُّ ثنا عَمْرُو بْنُ عُثْمَانَ ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حِمْيَرٍ ثنا فَضَالَةُ بْنُ شَرِيكٍ عَنْ خَالِدِ بْنِ مَعْدَانَ عَنِ الْعِرْبَاضِ بْنِ سَارِيَةَ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَامَ يَوْمًا فِي النَّاسِ فَقَالَ «أَيُّهَا النَّاسُ تُوشِكُونَ أَنْ تَكُونُوا مُجَنَّدَةً جُنْدٌ بِالشَّامِ وَجُنْدٌ بِالْعِرَاقِ وَجُنْدٌ بِالْيَمَنِ» فَقَالَ ابْنُ حَوَالَةَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنْ أَدْرَكَنِي ذَلِكَ الزَّمَانُ فَاخْتَرْ لِي قَالَ «إِنِّي أَخْتَارُ لَكَ الشَّامَ فَإِنَّهُ خِيْرَةُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ وَصَفْوَةُ اللهِ مِنْ بِلَادِهِ يَجْتَبِي إِلَيْهَا صَفْوَتَهُ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ فَمَنْ أَبَى فَلْيَلْحَقْ بِيَمَنِهِ وَلْيَسْقِ مِنْ غُدُرِهِ فَإِنَّ اللهَ قَدْ كَفَلَ لِي بِالشَّامِ وَأَهْلِهِ»

✧ From the Prophet ﷺ that one day he stood among the people and said: “O people, soon you will be made into armies: an army in Syria, an army in Iraq, and an army in Yemen.” Ibn Ḥawāla said, “O Messenger of God, if I reach that time, choose for me.” He said: “I choose Syria for you, for it is the best land of the Muslims and the chosen portion of God from His lands. He gathers to it His chosen ones from His creation. Whoever refuses, let him go to his Yemen and drink from its ponds, for God has guaranteed me Syria and its people.”
