Majma al-Zawaid 16638 — Reports on the virtue of Syria
عَنْ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ قَالَ : حَدَّثَنَا أَصْحَابُ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - عَنِ النَّبِيِّ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : " سَيُفْتَحُ عَلَيْكُمُ الشَّامُ ، فَإِذَا خُيِّرْتُمُ الْمُنَازِلَ فِيهَا فَعَلَيْكُمْ بِمَدِينَةٍ يُقَالُ لَهَا : دِمَشْقُ ; فَإِنَّهَا مَعْقِلُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ فِي الْمَلَاحِمِ ، وَفِسْطَاطُهَا مِنْهَا بِأَرْضٍ يُقَالُ لَهَا : الْغُوطَةُ " . رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ ، وَفِيهِ أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي مَرْيَمَ ، وَهُوَ ضَعِيفٌ .
Jubayr bin Nufayr states: The Companions of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) narrated to us from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Syria (al-Sham) will soon be conquered for you. When you are given a choice of dwelling places in it, you must live in the city called 'Damascus', for it will be the stronghold of the Muslims in the great battles, and their camp in it will be in the land called 'al-Ghutah'."
Ahmad recorded it; its chain contains a narrator, Abu Bakr bin Abi Maryam, and he is da'if (weak).
