Muhammad ibn Rafi' narrated to us, 'Abd al-Razzaq narrated to us, Ibn Jurayj informed us, Hisham ibn 'Urwa informed me, from his father, from 'Abd Allah ibn al-Zubayr, from Sufyan ibn Abi Zuhayr, who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, say: "Yemen will be conquered, and a people will come hastening, carrying their families and those who obey them—yet Medina is better for them, if only they knew. Then Syria will be conquered, and a people will come hastening, carrying their families and those who obey them—yet Medina is better for them, if only they knew. Then Iraq will be conquered, and a people will come hastening, carrying their families and those who obey them—yet Medina is better for them, if only they knew."
