حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ ، عَنْ شَهْرِ بْنِ حَوْشَبٍ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو ، قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ : " سَتَكُونُ هِجْرَةٌ بَعْدَ هِجْرَةٍ فَخِيَارُ أَهْلِ الأَرْضِ أَلْزَمُهُمْ مُهَاجَرَ إِبْرَاهِيمَ وَيَبْقَى فِي الأَرْضِ شِرَارُ أَهْلِهَا تَلْفِظُهُمْ أَرْضُوهُمْ تَقْذَرُهُمْ نَفْسُ اللَّهِ وَتَحْشُرُهُمُ النَّارُ مَعَ الْقِرَدَةِ وَالْخَنَازِيرِ " .
Abd Allaah bin Amr said “ I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say “There will be emigration after emigration and the people who are best will be those who cleave most closely to places which Abraham migrated. The worst of its people will remain in the earth cast out by their lands, abhorred by Allaah, collected along with apes and swine by fire. ””
Explanation & Benefits
Shaykh Umar Farooq Saeedi
Benefits and Issues:
The northwestern region of the Arabian Peninsula is referred to as "Sham."
Currently, the states of Lebanon, Jordan, Palestine, and Syria (Sham) are established in this area.
The reason for this nomenclature is that this region is located to the left side of the qiblah.
Or, it is because the Banu Kanaan turned towards its left side.
Or, it is due to the fact that the layers of land in this area are diverse.
In it, red, white, and black—every type of land is found.
And for this meaning, the word "Shamat" is used.
