حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَوْزَاعِيُّ أَنَّ يَحْيَى بْنَ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ أَبَا قِلَابَةَ حَدَّثَهُ عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ تَخْرُجُ نَارٌ مِنْ حَضْرَمَوْتَ أَوْ بِحَضْرَمَوْتَ فَتَسُوقُ النَّاسَ قُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا تَأْمُرُنَا قَالَ عَلَيْكُمْ بِالشَّامِ
مسند امام احمد بن حنبل · Hadith 4536
It was narrated that 'Abdullah ibn 'Umar said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (PBUH) say: "A fire will emerge from Hadramawt, or in Hadramawt, and it will drive the people.” We said: O Messenger of Allah, what do you instruct us to do? He said: "Go to Syria."
