Sayyiduna Sufyan bin Abu Zuhair (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: I heard the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "Yemen will be conquered, and some people will drive their camels and carry their families and subordinates on them (and leave Madinah), although if they knew, Madinah would have been better for them. Then Iraq will be conquered, and some people will drive their camels and carry their families and subordinates on them, although if they knew, Madinah would have been better for them. Then Shaam (Greater Syria) will be conquered, and some people will drive their camels and carry their families and subordinates on them, and if they knew, Madinah Munawwarah would have been better for them."
