وَعَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «الْخِلَافَةُ بِالْمَدِينَةِ وَالْمُلْكُ بِالشَّام» وَعَنْ عُمَرَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «رَأَيْتُ عَمُودًا مِنْ نُورٍ خَرَجَ مِنْ تَحْتِ رَأْسِي سَاطِعًا حَتَّى اسْتَقَرَّ بِالشَّامِ» . رَوَاهُمَا الْبَيْهَقِيُّ فِي «دَلَائِل النُّبُوَّة»
Abu Huraira reported God's messenger as saying, "The Caliphate will be in Medina and the kingdom in Syria." `Umar reported God's messenger as saying, "I saw a pillar of light which came forth from under my head and spread till it settled in Syria." Baihaqi transmitted the two traditions in Dala'il an-nubuwa.
