عَنْ جَابِرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَوْمًا وَنَظَرَ إِلَى الشَّامِ، فَقَالَ: ”اللَّهُمَّ أَقْبِلْ بِقُلُوبِهِمْ“، وَنَظَرَ إِلَى الْعِرَاقِ، فَقَالَ نَحْوَ ذَلِكَ، وَنَظَرَ قِبَلَ كُلِّ أُفُقٍ فَفَعَلَ ذَلِكَ، وَقَالَ: ”اللَّهُمَّ ارْزُقْنَا مِنْ ثَمَرَاتِ الْأَرْضِ، وَبَارِكْ لَنَا فِي مُدِّنَا وَصَاعِنَا“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that one day the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) faced towards Syria and made this supplication: O Allah! Incline their hearts towards here. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) faced towards Iraq and then towards every direction of the horizon and made the same supplication. Then he said: O Allah! Grant us sustenance from the fruits of the earth and bless our mudd and sa’ (measures).
