So do not revile the people of Syria (al-Sham), but revile the wicked among them, for among them are the Abdal. Soon a calamity will be sent upon the people of Syria from the sky which will scatter their community, until even if foxes fought them, they would overcome them. At that time a man from my household will come out with three banners. The one who gives the larger count will say they are fifteen thousand, and the one who gives the smaller count will say they are twelve thousand. Their watchword will be 'Amit, amit' (Kill, kill).

Kurz bin Alqamah relates that a delegation of the Christians of Najran came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him): sixty riders, twenty-four of whom were from their nobles, and among those twenty-four were three men to whom their affairs were referred. (First was) al-Aqib, the trustee of the people, the man of opinion and their counsellor, without whose opinion and command they did nothing; his name was Abd al-Masih. (Then) al-Sayyid, their scholar, the one in charge of their journeys and gatherings. And Abu Harithah bin Alqamah, who belonged to (the tribe of) Bakr bin Wa'il, their bishop, their great scholar, their leader and the one in charge of their school. Abu Harithah had become so honoured among them that his knowledge of their religion was held in the highest regard, and the Christian Roman kings had honoured him and accepted him, built churches for him and showered honours upon him, because news had reached them of his striving in their religion. When they set out from Najran towards the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), Abu Harithah was riding his mule heading towards the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and beside him was his brother Kurz bin Alqamah, travelling alongside him. Suddenly Abu Harithah's mule stumbled, and Kurz said: "May the far-off one perish," meaning the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). Abu Harithah said: "Rather, may you perish!" Kurz asked: "Brother, why is that?" He said: "By Allah, he is certainly the Prophet whom we have been waiting for." Kurz said to him: "Then, when you know this, what is stopping you (from believing in him)?" He said: "What these people have done for us: they have honoured us, made us leaders and treated us generously, while they insist on nothing but opposing him; and if I were to do this (believe), they would take away from us everything you see." His brother Kurz bin Alqamah kept this matter hidden in his heart, that is, he became a Muslim after that.

He will say: Do you recognise such-and-such a sin? He will reply: Yes, O my Lord. Then He will say: Do you recognise such-and-such a sin? He will say: Yes, O my Lord. Then, when Allah Almighty has made him confess his sins and he thinks that he is ruined, He will say: I have concealed them (these sins) for you today.' Then he will be given the record of his good deeds. As for the hypocrite and the disbeliever, they will be called out before the witnesses: 'These are the ones who lied against their Lord', to the end of the verse."

Raja' (may Allah have mercy on him) relates: "I was sitting in a circle in the mosque of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), in which were Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) and Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both), when Sayyiduna al-Husayn bin Ali (may Allah be pleased with them both) passed by and greeted (us) with salam. The people returned his greeting, but Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) remained silent. Then, when the people had fallen silent, he raised his voice and said: 'Wa alayka al-salam wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuh' (And upon you be peace, and the mercy of Allah and His blessings). Then he turned to the people and said: 'Shall I not tell you who, of the people of the earth, is the most beloved to the people of the heavens?' The people said: 'Certainly, tell us.' He said: 'It is this man who is walking away (al-Husayn, may Allah be pleased with him). By Allah, from the nights of Siffin until today I have not spoken a word to him, nor has he spoken a word to me. And by Allah, his being pleased with me is more beloved to me than my having (wealth) as much as the mountain of Uhud.'
Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: 'Will you not go to him in the morning?' He said: 'Certainly.' So the two of them agreed to go to him early in the morning, and I went with them. Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) asked permission and was given permission, and we entered. Then he asked permission for Sayyiduna Ibn Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both), and kept insisting until Sayyiduna al-Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) gave him permission, and so he entered. When Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) saw him, he shifted aside to make room for him; he was sitting beside Sayyiduna al-Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him). Sayyiduna al-Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) pulled him towards himself, but Sayyiduna Ibn Amr (may Allah be pleased with them both) remained standing and did not sit. When Sayyiduna al-Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) saw this, he let go of Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him), so he moved aside (further) for him, and he (Ibn Amr) sat between the two of them. Then Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id (may Allah be pleased with him) related the whole story, and (Sayyiduna al-Husayn, may Allah be pleased with him) said: 'O Ibn Amr, is it really so? Do you know that I am the most beloved of the people of the earth to the people of the heavens?' He said: 'Yes, by the Lord of the Ka'bah, you are the most beloved of the people of the earth to the people of the heavens.' Al-Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) said: 'Then what led you to fight against me and my father on the day of Siffin? By Allah, my father was better than me.'
He said: 'You have spoken rightly. But my father Amr (may Allah be pleased with him) complained about me to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "Abdullah stands (in prayer) all night and fasts all day." So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Pray and also sleep, fast and also break your fast, and obey Amr." Then, when the day of Siffin came, he made me swear an oath (to go with him). By Allah, I did not add to their numbers, nor draw a sword for them, nor strike with a spear, nor shoot an arrow.' Sayyiduna al-Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) said to him: 'Do you not know that there is no obedience to a created being in disobedience to the Creator?' He said: 'Certainly (I know).' The narrator said: 'It was as if Sayyiduna al-Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) accepted his excuse.'"
Imam al-Tabarani (may Allah have mercy on him) said: "No one narrated this hadith from Isma'il bin Raja' except Hashim bin al-Barid, and no one narrated it from Hashim except his son Ali bin Hashim; Abbad bin Ya'qub is alone in narrating it."

He said: 'Slow down! Woe to you, O Abu Juhayfah! Shall I not tell you about the best of people after the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)?
