Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 34641 — Reports on the people of al-Sham
٣٤٦٤١ - حدثنا يزيد قال: أخبرنا المسعودي عن القاسم بن عبد الرحمن قال: مد (الفرات) (١) على عهد عبد اللَّه فكره الناس ذلك قال: أيها الناس، لا تكرهوا مده فإنه يوشك أن (يلتمس) (٢) فيه طست من ماء فلا يوجد، (وذاك) (٣) حين يرجع كل ماء إلى عنصره، فيكون الماء وبقية المؤمنين يومئذ بالشام (٤).
Al-Mas'udi (may Allah have mercy on him) said that al-Qasim bin Abd al-Rahman (may Allah have mercy on him) said that the River Euphrates rose very high in the time of Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), and the people disliked this. At this he (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O people! Do not dislike its rising. For the time is near when a basin of water will be sought in it and will not be found. That will be when all water returns to its origin. And on that day the water and the remaining believers will be only in Sham."
