عَنْ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ أَنَّ سَلَمَةَ بْنَ نُفَيْلٍ أَخْبَرَهُمْ أَنَّهُ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ إِنِّي سَئِمْتُ الْخَيْلَ وَأَلْقَيْتُ السِّلَاحَ وَوَضَعَتِ الْحَرْبُ أَوْزَارَهَا قُلْتُ لَا قِتَالَ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْآنَ جَاءَ الْقِتَالُ لَا تَزَالُ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِي ظَاهِرِينَ عَلَى النَّاسِ يَرْفَعُ اللَّهُ قُلُوبَ أَقْوَامٍ فَيُقَاتِلُونَهُمْ وَيَرْزُقُهُمُ اللَّهُ مِنْهُمْ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ أَمْرُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَهُمْ عَلَى ذَلِكَ أَلَا إِنَّ عُقْرَ دَارِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ الشَّامُ وَالْخَيْلُ مَعْقُودٌ فِي نَوَاصِيهَا الْخَيْرُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Salamah bin Nufail (may Allah be pleased with him) that he went to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: I have become weary of the horse, have thrown away my weapons, war has laid down its burdens, and jihad has ended. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Now fighting has just begun. A group from my Ummah will remain dominant over the people; Allah Almighty will continue to turn the hearts of the people, so they will keep fighting them. In this way, Allah Almighty will provide them sustenance through them, until the command of Allah comes, and that group will remain in that state. Beware! The real center of the believers will be Syria, and goodness has been placed in the forelocks of horses until the Day of Resurrection.
Brief Explanation
Benefits: … Although the era of the Noble Prophet sallallahu alayhi wa sallam was the most blessed and full of goodness, yet the foundations of jihad that he sallallahu alayhi wa sallam laid down saw their greatest victories and benefits manifest after him sallallahu alayhi wa sallam. The main center was al-Sham (Greater Syria); from other narrations as well, it is known that near the end of times, the region of al-Sham will be the place of conquest for the believers. One hadith is as follows: In this hadith, there is an indication that, during times of tribulation, al-Sham will be a place of safety and security for the people of Islam.
