Majma al-Zawaid 16658 — Reports on the virtue of Syria
وَعَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ الْبَاهِلِيِّ قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ - صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - : " إِنَّ اللَّهَ - عَزَّ وَجَلَّ - اسْتَقْبَلَ بِي الشَّامَ ، وَوَلَّى ظَهْرِي الْيَمَنَ ، وَقَالَ لِي : يَا مُحَمَّدُ ، قَدْ جَعَلْتُ مَا تُجَاهَكَ غَنِيمَةً وَرِزْقًا ، وَمَا خَلَفَ ظَهْرِكَ مَدَدًا ، وَلَا يَزَالُ الْإِسْلَامُ يَزِيدُ وَيَنْقُصُ الشِّرْكُ ، حَتَّى تَسِيرَ الْمَرْأَتَانِ لَا يَخْشَيَانِ جَوَرًا " . ثُمَّ قَالَ : " وَالَّذِي نَفْسِي بِيَدِهِ ، لَا تَذْهَبُ الْأَيَّامُ وَاللَّيَالِي حَتَّى يَبْلُغَ هَذَا الدِّينُ مَبْلَغَ هَذَا النَّجْمِ " . رَوَاهُ الطَّبَرَانِيُّ ، وَفِيهِ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ هَانِئٍ الْمُتَأَخِّرُ إِلَى زَمَنِ أَبِي حَاتِمٍ ، وَهُوَ مُتَّهَمٌ بِالْكَذِبِ .
Sayyiduna Abu Umamah al-Bahili (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Allah Almighty has turned my face towards Sham and placed Yemen behind my back, and He said to me: 'O Muhammad! I have placed before you spoils and provision, and behind your back I have placed reinforcement. Islam will continue to increase and polytheism will continue to decrease, until two women will travel and they will have no fear of any oppression.'" Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "By the One in whose Hand my soul is! The succession of night and day will not come to an end until this religion reaches as far as this star reaches."
Al-Tabarani recorded it; its chain contains a narrator, Abdullah bin Hani, who lived on to the time of Abu Hatim, and he is accused of lying.
