Sayyiduna Khuraym bin Fatik says that the people of Sham are Allah’s whip on the earth; through them, Allah takes revenge on whomever He wills. And it has been made forbidden for their hypocrites to prevail over their believers. Whenever they die, they will die in a state of grief, anger, and distress.
