عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ أَرْقَمَ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ ”لَا تَزَالُ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِي عَلَى الْحَقِّ ظَاهِرِينَ وَإِنِّي لَأَرْجُو أَنْ تَكُونُوا هُمْ يَا أَهْلَ الشَّامِ“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Zaid bin Arqam, may Allah be pleased with him, that indeed the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: There will always remain a group from my Ummah upon the truth, and I hope that they will be the people of Sham.
