Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 16646

وَعَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - قَالَ : " يَكُونُ بِالشَّامِ جُنْدٌ ، وَبِالْيَمَنِ جُنْدٌ " . فَقَامَ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ، خِرْ لِي ؟ قَالَ : " عَلَيْكَ بِالشَّامِ ; فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ - عَزَّ وَجَلَّ - قَدْ تَكَفَّلَ لِي بِالشَّامِ وَأَهْلِهِ " . رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ ، وَفِيهِ إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِدْرِيسَ الْأَسْوَارِيُّ ، وَهُوَ مَتْرُوكٌ .
Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Yazid (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates this saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "There will be an army in Syria (al-Sham) and an army in Yemen." A man stood up and said: "O Messenger of Allah! Make a choice for me!" So the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "You must live in Syria, for Allah Almighty has given me a guarantee concerning Syria and its people."
Al-Tabarani recorded it; its chain contains a narrator, Ishaq bin Idris al-Aswari, and he is matruk (abandoned).
