It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "A group of my Ummah will always remain established upon the command of Allah; whoever opposes it will not be able to harm it. It will keep fighting its enemies; whenever one war ends, a war with another people will break out. Allah Almighty will raise some people high and grant them provision through them (the enemies), until the Hour comes upon them." Then the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "They are the people of Sham (Syria)."
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Nasr bin Alqamah except Yahya bin Hamzah."
