It is narrated from Sayyiduna Salamah bin Nufail (may Allah be pleased with him) that he went to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: I have become weary of the horse, have thrown away my weapons, war has laid down its burdens, and jihad has ended. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Now fighting has just begun. A group from my Ummah will remain dominant over the people; Allah Almighty will continue to turn the hearts of the people, so they will keep fighting them. In this way, Allah Almighty will provide them sustenance through them, until the command of Allah comes, and that group will remain in that state. Beware! The real center of the believers will be Syria, and goodness has been placed in the forelocks of horses until the Day of Resurrection.
