حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ إِسْحَاقَ التُّسْتَرِيُّ، ثنا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّبَّاحِ الْجَرْجَرَائِيُّ، ثنا عَلِيُّ بْنُ ثَابِتٍ، أَنَا الْحَارِثُ بْنُ يَزِيدَ الشَّامِيُّ، عَنِ الْعَلَاءِ بْنِ كَثِيرٍ، عَنْ مَكْحُولٍ قَالَ: دَخَلْنَا عَلَى وَاثِلَةَ بْنِ الْأَسْقَعِ، فَقُلْنَا: حَدِّثْنَا حَدِيثًا، سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ، رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: " سَمِعْتُ مُعَاذًا وَحُذَيْفَةَ يَسْتَشِيرَانِ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فِي الْمَنْزِلِ فَأَوْمَى إِلَيْهِمَا بِالشَّامِ، ثُمَّ اسْتَشَارَاهُ فَأَوْمَى إِلَيْهِمَا بِالشَّامِ، ثُمَّ اسْتَشَارَاهُ فَأَوْمَى إِلَيْهِمَا بِالشَّامِ قَالَ فِي الثَّالِثَةِ: «عَلَيْكُمْ بِالشَّامِ، فَإِنَّهَا صَفْوَةُ بِلَادِ اللهِ يَسْكُنُهَا خِيرَتُهُ مِنْ عِبَادِهِ، وَمَنْ أَبَى فَلْيَلْحَقْ بِيَمَنِهِ وَلْيَسْقِ بِغُدُرِهِ، فَإِنَّ اللهَ قَدْ تَكَفَّلَ لِي بِالشَّامِ وَأَهْلِهِ»
Makhul (may Allah have mercy on him) said: We went in to Sayyiduna Wathilah bin al-Asqa' (may Allah be pleased with him) and said: Narrate to us a hadith that you heard from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He said: I heard Sayyiduna Mu'adh and Sayyiduna Hudhayfah (may Allah be pleased with them both) consulting the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) about where to settle, and he pointed them towards Syria. Then they consulted him again, and he again pointed towards Syria. Then they consulted him yet again, and he again pointed towards Syria, and the third time he said: "Hold fast to Syria, for it is the best of Allah's lands; the chosen of His servants dwell in it. Whoever refuses it, let him go to his Yemen and drink from its pools, for Allah has guaranteed for me Syria and its people."
