THE VIRTUES OF ASH-SHAAM!!! 1. Glad tidings for Sham, glad tidings for Sham, glad tidings for Sham.” The Companions asked: “And why is that, O Messenger of Allah?” He replied: “O glad tidings for Sham. The Angels of Allah spread their wings over Sham.” 2. Go to Sham, for it is the chosen land of Allah’s lands, and it is the destination of His chosen servants.” 3. A fire will emerge at the end of time from Hadramawt, and it will gather the people together.” The Companions asked: “So, what do you command us to do, O Messenger of Allah?” He (peace be upon him) replied: “Go to Sham.” 4. Abdullah bin Hawalah said: “O Messenger of Allah! Determine for me a land that I should live in, for if I knew that you would be with us for a long time, I would not choose anything over staying with you.” The Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said: “Go to Sham, go to Sham, go to Sham.” So, when he saw that I disliked Sham, he said: “Do you know what Allah – the Mighty and Majestic – Said? He Said: “You are the cream of My lands to which I enter the best of My servants.” And on the night of my Isra’ , I saw a white pillar as if it were made of pearls being carried by the Angels. I asked them: “What are you carrying?” They said: “We are carrying the pillar of Islam, and we were commanded to place it in Sham.” 5. “If the people of Sham become corrupt, there is no good in you. There will always be a victorious group of my Ummah. They will not be harmed by those who betray them until the Hour is established.” And in one narration: “And they are in Sham.” 6. “The city of the Muslims on the day of the Great War (al-Malhamah) is in a fertile oasis next to a city called Damascus, and it is from the best cities of Sham.” 7. The Messenger of Allah said: If you see the Black Banners coming from Khurasan (Afghanistan) go to them immediately, even if you must crawl over ice, because indeed amongst them is the Caliph, Al Mahdi. [Narrated on authority of Ibn Majah, Al-Hakim, Ahmad] 8. The Prophet (saw), said: Surely Black Banner will appear from the Khorasan until the people (under the leadership of this flag) will tie their horses with the Olive Trees between Bait-e-Lahya and Harasta. We asked are there any Olive trees between these places. He said,”If there isn’t then soon it will grow so that those people (of Khorasan) will come and tie their horses there.” [Kitab-al-Fitan Page 215.] Abu Abdullah Nuaim Ibn Hammad on a chain of transmission on the authority of Al Zuhari who said The black flags will come from the East, led by mighty men, with long hair and beards, their surnames are taken from the names of their home towns (ex. Al-Khosti or Al-Baghdadi etc.) and their first names are from aKunya (ex. Abu-Musab or Abul-Dardaa etc.) [Asmal Masalik Lieyyam Mahdiyy Maliki Li Kull-id Dunya Biemrillah-il Malik, Qalda bin Zayd]
