حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ لَهِيعَةَ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ أَنَّهُ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّ عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ أَخْبَرَهُ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ سَيَخْرُجُ أَهْلُ مَكَّةَ مِنْهَا ثُمَّ لَا يَعْمُرُوهَا أَوْ لَا تُعْمَرُ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا ثُمَّ تُعْمَرُ وَتَمْتَلِئُ وَتُبْنَى ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُونَ مِنْهَا فَلَا يَعُودُونَ إِلَيْهَا أَبَدًا
English Translation
Musa narrated to us, Ibn Lahi'ah narrated to us, from Abu al-Zubayr, from Jabir (رضي الله عنه) who informed him that Umar ibn al-Khattab (رضي الله عنه) informed him that he heard the Prophet ﷺ say: 'The people of Makkah will leave it, then it will not be inhabited — or it will barely be inhabited. Then it will be resettled and its people will settle in it. Then they will leave it again, and it will not be inhabited afterward.'
