حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَمْزَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ جَابِرٍ، حَدَّثَنِي زَيْدُ بْنُ أَرْطَاةَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ جُبَيْرَ بْنَ نُفَيْرٍيُحَدِّثُ، عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: إِنَّ فُسْطَاطَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ يَوْمَ الْمَلْحَمَةِ بِالْغُوطَةِ إِلَى جَانِبِ مَدِينَةٍ يُقَالُ لَهَا: دِمَشْقُ مِنْ خَيْرِ مَدَائِنِ الشَّامِ .
