وَقَالَ أَبُو يَعْلَى : حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْعَزِيزِ ، عَنْ رَبِيعَةَ بْنِ يَزِيدَ ، عَنْ رَجُلٍ يُقَالُ لَهُ : خَوْلِيٌّ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : إِنَّكُمْ سَتُجَنَّدُونَ أَجْنَادًا ، جُنْدًا بِالشَّامِ وَجُنْدًا بِالْيَمَنِ ، فَقَالَ لَهُ خَوْلِيُّ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ خِرْ لِي ، قَالَ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : عَلَيْكَ بِالشَّامِ ، فَمَنْ أَبَى فَلْيَلْحَقْ بِيَمَنِهِ ، وَلْيَسْقِ بِغُدُرِهِ ، فَإِنَّ اللهَ تَعَالَى قَدْ تَكَفَّلَ لِي بِالشَّامِ وَأَهْلِهِ .
It is narrated from a man called Khawli that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Soon you will become several armies of fighters: one army will be in Syria and one army in Yemen." Khawli said to him (peace and blessings be upon him): "O Messenger of Allah, «khir li»: choose (the best place) for me." He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Hold fast to Syria. Then whoever is reluctant (to go there), let him join his Yemen and drink from its pools, for Allah Almighty has taken responsibility for me for Syria and its inhabitants (for their protection and care)."
