وَعَنْ وَاثِلَةَ بْنِ الْأَسْقَعِ قَالَ : سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - وَهُوَ يَقُولُ لِحُذَيْفَةَ بْنِ الْيَمَانِ ، وَمُعَاذُ بْنُ جَبَلٍ ، وَهُمَا يَسْتَشِيرَانِهِ فِي الْمَنْزِلِ ، فَأَوْمَأَ إِلَى الشَّامِ . ثُمَّ سَأَلَاهُ فَأَوْمَأَ إِلَى الشَّامِ . ثُمَّ سَأَلَاهُ فَأَوْمَأَ إِلَى الشَّامِ قَالَ : " عَلَيْكُمَا بِالشَّامِ ; فَإِنَّهَا صَفْوَةُ بِلَادِ اللَّهِ ، يَسَكُنُهَا خِيرَتُهُ مِنْ خَلْقِهِ ، فَمَنْ أَبَى فَلْيَلْحَقْ بِيَمَنِهِ ، وَلْيُسْقَ مِنْ غَدْرِهِ ; فَإِنَّ اللَّهَ تَكَفَّلَ لِي بِالشَّامِ وَأَهْلِهِ " . رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ بِأَسَانِيدَ كُلُّهَا ضَعِيفَةٌ .
Sayyiduna Wathilah bin al-Asqa' (may Allah be pleased with him) states: I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saying this to Sayyiduna Hudhayfah bin al-Yaman (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Mu'adh bin Jabal (may Allah be pleased with him); the two of them had consulted him about where to settle. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) pointed towards Syria (al-Sham). The two of them asked him about it again, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) pointed towards Syria. The two of them asked him again, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) pointed towards Syria and said: "You two must go to Syria, for it is the chosen one among the lands of Allah Almighty; He will settle there the best of His creation. Whoever does not accept this should go to his Yemen and drink from its water-pools. Allah Almighty has given me a guarantee concerning Syria and its people."
