Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) reports this saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "A group of my Ummah will continue to fight at the gates of Damascus, and a group will continue to fight at the gates of Bayt al-Maqdis and around it. Whoever tries to forsake them, his efforts will not harm them, and they will remain dominant until the Day of Resurrection."
Al-Tabarani recorded it in al-Mu'jam al-Awsat; its chain contains al-Walid bin Abbad, who is majhul (unknown).
