حدثنا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حدثنا وَكِيعٌ ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ سُفْيَانَ بْنِ أَبِي زُهَيْرٍ ، قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : " تُفْتَحُ الشَّامُ ، فَيَخْرُجُ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ قَوْمٌ بِأَهْلِيهِمْ يَبُسُّونَ وَالْمَدِينَةُ خَيْرٌ لَهُمْ لَوْ كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ ، ثُمَّ تُفْتَحُ الْيَمَنُ ، فَيَخْرُجُ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ قَوْمٌ بِأَهْلِيهِمْ يَبُسُّونَ وَالْمَدِينَةُ خَيْرٌ لَهُمْ لَوْ كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ ، ثُمَّ تُفْتَحُ الْعِرَاقُ ، فَيَخْرُجُ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ قَوْمٌ بِأَهْلِيهِمْ يَبُسُّونَ وَالْمَدِينَةُ خَيْرٌ لَهُمْ لَوْ كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ " .
Sufyan bin Abd Zuhair reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: Syria will be conquered and some people will go out of Madinah along with their families driving their camels, and Madinah is better for them if they were to know it. Then Yemen will be conquered and some people will go out of Madinah along with their families driving their camels, and Madinah is better for them if they were to know it. Then Iraq will be conquered and some people will go out of it along with their families driving their camels, and Madinah is better for them if they were to know it.
