إن الله تعالى خلق الدنيا بمنزلة الطائر، فجعل الجناحين المشرق والمغرب، وجعل الرأس الشام، وجعل رأس الرأس حمص، وفيها المنقار، فإذا نقص المنقار تناقف الناس، وجعل الجؤجؤ دمشق، وفيها القلب، فإذا تحرك القلب تحرك الجسد، وللرأس ضربتان: ضربة من الجناح المشرقي وهي على دمشق، وضربة من الجناح الغربي وهي على حمص، وهي أثقلها، ثم يقبل الرأس على الجناحين فينتفهما ريشة ريشة

Allah Almighty created the world in the position of a bird, so He made the wings the East and the West, and He made the head the Sham (Greater Syria), and He made the head of the head Homs, which contains the beak, and if the beak decreases, the people will disagree. He made the percussion Damascus, and it has the heart, so if the heart moves, the body moves. The head has two strikes: a strike from the eastern wing, which is on Damascus, and a strike from the western wing, which is on Homs, which is the heaviest of them. Then the head kisses the wings and plucks them out with a feather.

ليكونن بالشام فتنة تردد فيها كما تردد الماء في السقاء، تكشف عنكم وأنتم نادمون عن جوع شديد، فيكون ريح الخبز فيها أطيب من ريح المسك

There will be a trial in the Sham (Greater Syria) in which it will sway like water swells in a waterskin, revealing you while you are regretting severe hunger, and the smell of bread in it will be sweeter than the smell of musk.

إذا رأيت بالشام القصور البيض رءوسها إلى السماء، وغرس فيها الشجر ما لم يغرس في زمن نوح، فقد نزل بك الأمر

If you see in the Sham (Greater Syria) white palaces with their heads towards the sky, and trees planted in them that were not planted in the time of Noah, then the matter has come down to you.

تكون بالشام فتنة ترتفع فيها رشاها وأشرافها، ثم يكثر سفهاؤهم وسفلتهم فيها حتى يستعبد رؤساؤهم كما كانوا يستعبدونهم قبل ذلك

There will be a turmoil in the Sham (Greater Syria) in which bribes and nobles will rise, then their fools and lowlifes will increase in it until their leaders will be enslaved as they used to enslave them before that.

خلق الله تعالى ألف أمة، ستمائة في البحر، وأربعمائة في البر، وأول شيء من هذه الأمم هلاكا الجراد، فإذا هلكت تتابعت مثل النظام إذا قطع سلكه

Allah Almighty created a thousand nations, six hundred on the sea and four hundred on land, and the first thing among these nations is the destruction of the locusts. When they are destroyed, they follow one another like a system if its cord is cut.

إذا ثارت فتنة فلسطين تردد في الشام تردد الماء في القربة، ثم تنجلي حين تنجلي وأنتم قليل نادمون

If the strife of Palestine erupts, it will be repeated in the Sham (Greater Syria), like the water in the water bottle, and then it will clear up when it clears up, and you will regret it a few times.

الفتنة الرابعة عمياء مظلمة تمور مور البحر، لا يبقى بيت من العرب والعجم إلا ملأته ذلا وخوفا، تطيف بالشام، وتغشى بالعراق، وتخبط بالجزيرة بيدها ورجلها، تعرك الأمة فيها عرك الأديم، ويشتد فيها البلاء حتى ينكر فيها المعروف، ويعرف فيها المنكر، لا يستطيع أحد يقول: مه مه، ولا يرقعونها من ناحية إلا تفتقت من ناحية، يصبح الرجل فيها مؤمنا ويمسي كافرا، ولا ينجو منها إلا من دعا كدعاء الغرق في البحر، تدوم اثني عشر عاما، تنجلي حين تنجلي وقد انحسرت الفرات عن جبل من ذهب، فيقتتلون عليها حتى يقتل من كل تسعة سبعة

The fourth temptation is blind and dark, passing through the sea. Not a single house of Arabs or non-Arabs remains except that it is filled with humiliation and fear. It circles around the Sham (Greater Syria), covers Iraq, and strikes the island with its hand and foot. The nation suffers therein, the struggle of eternity, and the affliction becomes severe in it until the good is denied in it, and the evil is known in it. No one can say: “Mah, mah,” and they do not patch it on one side without it splitting on the other. A man becomes a believer in it and evening is an infidel. He will be saved from it except for those who pray, like the prayer of drowning in the sea. It lasts for twelve years, and it clears up when it clears, and the Euphrates has receded from a mountain of gold, so they fight over it until seven out of every nine are killed.

هل جاءكم شيء من قبل خراسان؟ هل جاءكم شيء من قبل الشام؟ قال ضمرة: قال ابن شوذب: عن ابن سيرين أنه قال: أما لبنات العلاء بن زياد من يخرجهن من الشام؟، فإنا كنا نتحدث أنه يكون بالشام فتنة

Did anything come to you from Khorasan? Did anything come to you from the Sham (Greater Syria)? As for the daughters of Al-Alaa bin Ziyad, who will take them out of the Sham (Greater Syria)? We used to say that there will be a trial in the Sham (Greater Syria)

ما رأيتم؟ قالوا: لا شيء، قال: لتخبرني قالوا: رأينا حمارا قد علته قوائمه، قال: فما أولتم؟ قالوا: قلنا تعلو سفلة الناس وسقاطهم، ويتضع أشرافهم، فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: فإنه كما أولتم

What did you see? They said: Nothing. He said: Tell me. They said: We saw a donkey with its legs stuck. He said: What did you understand? They said: We said: The lowliest of people and their fallen will be exalted, and their nobles will be humbled. So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: It is as you have understood.

وددت أن كل در على وجه الأرض صار قطرانا ، ثم قال: إن الناس لا ينتهون حتى يتخذوا الغنم ويحتلبوها ويتباروا فيها، حتى إذا كثرت خرجوا من المدن والجماعات والمساجد، فبدوا بها، فلم يبعث الله نبيا، ولا جعل خلافة، ولا ملكا إلا في أهل القرى والحضارة، وكانوا لا يطمعون أن يجعلها في أهل عمود ولا بدو، فإذا رأى الله رغبتهم عن الجماعات والمساجد ابتعث الله عليهم مما ملكت أيمانهم أقواما يناطقونهم بالعربية، ويضربونهم بالمشرفية حتى يعودوا إلى الجماعة والمساجد، فلا تستكثروا من سبي العجم، ولو سلطت على ما في أيديكم من سبيهم لقتلت من كل عشرة تسعة، وأنظر إلى العشر الباقي فأنفيهم إلى وادي الشجر، أو وادي العرج، أو وادي العرعر، فوالله إن بقوا لكم ليمرن عليكم العيش

I wished that every pearl on the face of the earth had become tar. People do not stop until they take sheep, milk them, and compete over them, until when they become numerous, they leave the cities, communities, and mosques, and flock to them. Allah has not sent a prophet, nor appointed a caliphate, nor a king except among the people of the villages and the civilization, and they did not aspire to place them among the people of the pillars or the Bedouins, so if Allah sees their desire for the groups and mosques, Allah will send to them what their right hands possess. People who speak to them in Arabic, and beat them with the Musharrafiyya until they return to the congregation and the mosques. Do not take too much captivity of the Persians. If I were to control the captives in your hands, I would kill nine out of every ten. And look at the remaining ten, then exile them to Wadi Al-Shajar, or Wadi Al-Arj, or Wadi Al-Junir. By Allah, if they remain yours, He will make life easier for you.

كيف بكم إذا دخل أهل باديتكم فشاركوكم في أموالكم، لا تمتنعون منهم حتى يقول القائل: طال ما كنتم في النعمة ونحن في الشقوة

How will you be if the people of your desert enter and share with you your wealth, and you do not withhold from them until someone says: You have been blessed for so long while we have been in misery?
