حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الْأَعْلَی حَدَّثَنَا الْمُعْتَمِرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ قَال سَمِعْتُ عُبَيْدَ اللَّهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا أَنَّ مَوْلَاةً لَهُ أَتَتْهُ فَقَالَتْ اشْتَدَّ عَلَيَّ الزَّمَانُ وَإِنِّي أُرِيدُ أَنْ أَخْرُجَ إِلَی الْعِرَاقِ قَالَ فَهَلَّا إِلَی الشَّامِ أَرْضِ الْمَنْشَرِ اصْبِرِي لَکَاعِ فَإِنِّي سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ مَنْ صَبَرَ عَلَی شِدَّتِهَا وَلَأْوَائِهَا کُنْتُ لَهُ شَهِيدًا أَوْ شَفِيعًا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ وَفِي الْبَاب عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ وَسُفْيَانَ بْنِ أَبِي زُهَيْرٍ وَسُبَيْعَةَ الْأَسْلَمِيَّةِ قَالَ أَبُو عِيسَی هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ غَرِيبٌ مِنْ حَدِيثِ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ
جامع ترمذی · Hadith 3918
Narrated Ibn 'Umar: said that a freed a slave girl of his came to him, and said: Times have become hard on me and I want to go to Al-'Iraq. He said: Why not to Ash-Sham the land of the resurrection? Have patience you foolish lady; I heard the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) say: 'Whoever endures its hardships and difficulties (Al-Madinah) then I will be a witness, or an intercessor for him on the Day of Judgement. [He said:] There are narrations on this topic from Abu Sa'eed, Sufyan bin Abi Zuhair, and Subai'ah Al-Aslamiyyah.
