    وَعَن أبي مُحَيْرِيزٍ قَالَ: قُلْتُ لِأَبِي جُمُعَةَ رَجُلٌ مِنَ الصَّحَابَةِ: حَدِّثْنَا حَدِيثًا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ. قَالَ: نَعَمْ أُحَدِّثُكُمْ حَدِيثًا جَيِّدًا تَغَدَّيْنَا مَعَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَمَعَنَا أَبُو عُبَيْدَةَ بْنُ الْجَرَّاحِ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ. أَحَدٌ خَيْرٌ منَّا؟ أسلمْنا وَجَاهَدْنَا مَعَكَ. قَالَ: «نَعَمْ قَوْمٌ يَكُونُونَ مِنْ بَعْدِكُمْ يُؤْمِنُونَ بِي وَلَمْ يَرَوْنِي» . رَوَاهُ أَحْمَدُ وَالدَّارِمِيُّ وَرَوَى رَزِينٌ عَنْ أَبِي عُبَيْدَةَ مِنْ قَوْلِهِ: قَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ. أَحَدٌ خَيْرٌ مِنَّا إِلى آخِره

    Ibn Muhairiz[1] said he asked Abu Jumu’a,[2] one of the Companions, to tell him something he had heard from God’s messenger, and he replied: Yes, I shall tell you a good tradition. One day we had lunch with God’s messenger, and Abu `Ubaida b. al-Jarrah who was along with us asked, “Is anyone better, messenger of God, than we are who have accepted Islam and striven along with you?” He replied, “Yes, people who will come after your time and will believe on me without having seen me.” His name was Abdallah. He settled in Jerusalem and died in 99 A.H. See Shadharat adh dhahab , 1:116. Istiab p. 634, says there was doubt about his name, and one or two different statements about it are quoted. He was a companion of the Prophet and was reckoned among the Syrians. Ahmad and Darimi transmitted it, and Razin transmitted it on Abu `Ubaida’s authority from his asking, “Is anyone better, messenger of God, than we are…” to the end.

    وَعَنْ مُعَاوِيَةَ بْنِ قُرَّةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِذَا فَسَدَ أَهْلُ الشَّامِ فَلَا خَيْرَ فِيكُمْ وَلَا يَزَالُ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِي مَنْصُورِينَ لَا يَضُرُّهُمْ مَنْ خَذَلَهُمْ حَتَّى تَقُومَ السَّاعَةُ» قَالَ ابْنُ الْمَدِينِيِّ: هُمْ أَصْحَابُ الْحَدِيثَ. رَوَاهُ التِّرْمِذِيُّ وَقَالَ: هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ

    Mu’awiya b. Qurra quoted his father’s authority for the statement that God’s messenger said, “When the Syrians become corrupt there will be good in you, but a section of my people will continue to be helped, not being injured by those who desert them, till the last hour comes.” Ibn al-Madini said they are the traditionists. Tirmidhi transmitted it, saying this is a hasan sahih tradition.

    `Abdallah b. `Amr b. al-`As told that he heard God’s messenger say, “There will be emigration after emigration, and the people who are best will be those who go to the places to which Abraham emigrated.” A version has “The best people on the earth are those who cleave most closely to the places to which Abraham emigrated. The worst of its people will remain in the earth, cast out by their lands, abhorred by God, collected along with apes and swine by fire[*] which will spend the night and midday where they are in their company.” *This is explained as the fire of civil strife. Cf. Mirqat , v. 652 AbuDawud transmitted it.

    عَنْ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِنَّمَا الْأَعْمَال بِالنِّيَّاتِ وَإِنَّمَا لكل امْرِئ مَا نَوَى فَمَنْ كَانَتْ هِجْرَتُهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ فَهِجْرَتُهُ إِلَى اللَّهِ وَرَسُولِهِ وَمَنْ كَانَتْ هِجْرَتُهُ إِلَى دُنْيَا يُصِيبُهَا أَوِ امْرَأَةٍ يَتَزَوَّجُهَا فَهجرَته إِلَى مَا هَاجر إِلَيْهِ»

    ‘Umar b. al-Khattab, for whom God’s good pleasure is prayed, reported God’s Messenger, to whom may God’s blessings and safe-keeping be granted, as saying: “Deeds are to be judged only by intentions, and a man will have only what he intended. When one’s emigration is to God and His Messenger, his emigration is to God and His Messenger; but when his emigration is to a worldly end at which he aims, or to a woman whom he marries, his emigration is to that to which he emigrated.” (Bukhari and Muslim.)

    عَنْ شُرَيْحِ بْنِ عُبَيْدٍ قَالَ: ذُكِرَ أَهْلُ الشَّام عِنْد عليٍّ [رَضِي الله عَنهُ] وَقِيلَ الْعَنْهُمْ يَا أَمِيرَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ قَالَ: لَا أَنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «الْأَبْدَالُ يَكُونُونَ بِالشَّامِ وَهُمْ أَرْبَعُونَ رَجُلًا كُلَّمَا مَاتَ رَجُلٌ أَبْدَلَ اللَّهُ مَكَانَهُ رَجُلًا يُسْقَى بِهِمُ الْغَيْثُ وَيُنْتَصَرُ بِهِمْ عَلَى الأعداءِ وَيصرف عَن أهل الشَّام بهم الْعَذَاب» وَعَنْ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الصَّحَابَةِ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: ” سَتُفْتَحُ الشَّامُ فإِذا خُيِّرْتم المنازلَ فِيهَا فَعَلَيْكُم بِمَدِينَة يُقَال لَهُ دِمَشْقُ فَإِنَّهَا مَعْقِلُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ مِنَ الْمَلَاحِمِ وَفُسْطَاطُهَا مِنْهَا أَرْضٌ يُقَالُ لَهَا: الْغُوطَةُ “. رَوَاهُمَا أَحْمَدُ

    Shuraih b. `Ubaid told that when the people of Syria were mentioned in `Ali’s presence and someone said, “Curse them, commander of the faithful,” he refused, saying he had heard God’s messenger say, “The substitutes[*], a body of forty men, will be in Syria, and as often as one dies God will put another in his place. By virtue of them rain will be provided, by virtue of them help will be sought against enemies, and by virtue of them affliction will be averted from the Syrians.” One of the Companions reported God’s messenger as saying, “Syria will be conquered, and when you are given your choice of places in which to settle go on a city called Damascus, for it will be the fortress of the Muslims to protect them in the wars during which it will be a place of assembly. In its neighbourhood there is some land called al-Ghuta.” * al-abdal . These belong to one of the degrees of the Sufi hierarchy of saints. There are different views as to their number. This tradition would seem to support the view which holds that there are 70. forty in Syria and thirty elsewhere. They presumably get their title because every vacancy in their number is immediately filled. Ahmad transmitted the two traditions.
