Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 12258

عَنْ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ مُحَمَّدٍ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - عَنِ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : " سَتُفْتَحُ عَلَيْكُمُ الشَّامُ ، فَإِذَا خُيِّرْتُمُ الْمَنَازِلَ فِيهَا فَعَلَيْكُمْ بِمَدِينَةٍ فِيهَا يُقَالُ لَهَا دِمَشْقُ ، فَإِنَّهَا مَعْقِلُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فِي الْمَلَاحِمِ وَفُسْطَاطُهَا مِنْهَا بِأَرْضٍ يُقَالُ لَهَا الْغُوطَةُ " . رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَفِيهِ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ وَهُوَ ضَعِيفٌ . قُلْتُ : وَفِي فَضْلِ الشَّامِ أَحَادِيثُ فِي أَوَاخِرِ الْمَنَاقِبِ .
Jubayr bin Nufayr relates: One of the Companions of Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) told me that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Syria (al-Sham) will soon be conquered for you. When you are given a choice of dwellings there, then hold to a city in it called Damascus, for it will be the stronghold where the Muslims gather in times of great battles, and their encampment will be in a land called al-Ghutah."
Ahmad recorded it; its chain contains Abu Bakr bin Abi Maryam, who is da'if (weak). (Al-Haythami says:) I say: There are hadiths on the virtue of Syria which will come at the end of the Book of Virtues (Kitab al-Manaqib).
