Arabic Text
حَدَّثَنَا الْحَكَمُ بْنُ نَافِعٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَيَّاشٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ سُلَيْمَانَ عَنِ الْوَلِيدِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الْجُرَشِيِّ عَنْ جُبَيْرِ بْنِ نُفَيْرٍ أَنَّ سَلَمَةَ بْنَ نُفَيْلٍ أَخْبَرَهُمْ أ
َنَّهُ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ إِنِّي سَئِمْتُ الْخَيْلَ وَأَلْقَيْتُ السِّلَاحَ وَوَضَعَتْ الْحَرْبُ أَوْزَارَهَا قُلْتُ لَا قِتَالَ فَقَالَ لَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْآنَ جَاءَ الْقِتَالُ لَا تَزَالُ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْ أُمَّتِي ظَاهِرِينَ عَلَى النَّاسِ يَرْفَعُ اللَّهُ قُلُوبَ أَقْوَامٍ فَيُقَاتِلُونَهُمْ وَيَرْزُقُهُمْ اللَّهُ مِنْهُمْ حَتَّى يَأْتِيَ أَمْرُ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ وَهُمْ عَلَى ذَلِكَ أَلَا إِنَّ عُقْرَ دَارِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ الشَّامُ وَالْخَيْلُ مَعْقُودٌ فِي نَوَاصِيهَا الْخَيْرُ إِلَى يَوْمِ الْقِيَامَةِ

English Translation
Al-Ḥakam ibn Nāfiʿ narrated to us, he said: Ismāʿīl ibn ʿAyyāsh narrated to us, from Ibrāhīm ibn Sulaymān, from al-Walīd ibn ʿAbd al-Raḥmān al-Jurashī, from Jubayr ibn Nufayr: that Salamah ibn Nufayl informed them that he came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: "I have grown weary of horses, laid down my weapons, and the war has laid down its burdens. I said: there is no more fighting." the Prophet ﷺ said to him: "Now fighting has come! A group from my ummah will never cease to be victorious over people. Allāh will turn the hearts of some peoples so that they fight them, and Allāh will provide for them from those peoples — until the command of Allāh عز وجل comes while they are upon that. Indeed, the heartland of the believers is al-Shām. And goodness is tied to the forelocks of horses until the Day of Resurrection."
