حدثنا أبو المغيرة، عن ابن عياش، عن يحيى بن أبي عمرو، عن زهير الأيلي، عن ابن عباس، رضي الله عنه، أنه مر بهم وهو يسرع بعدما أصيب بصره فتعدى، ثم قال: «أين إرم؟» قال: قلت: سمتك نحو المغرب على اثني عشر ميلا، قال: «فكم بيني وبين السراة؟» قلت: كذا وكذا ميلا، قال: «هل لك علم بصور وقرين» ، قلت: نعم بهما عالم، قال: فهل إلى اتباعها سبيل؟ قلت: لا، قال: «ولم؟» قلت: وقعتا عند رجل لم يكن له ببلاد قومه منزل فأصابهما من ذي قرابة له، وهما بين ظهري قومه، فلن يختار عليهما منزلا، قال: «ومن هو؟» قلت: روح بن زنباع، قال: فصمت، قال: قلت: فسألتني رحمك الله فأخبرتك، فعم ذاك؟ فقال: «لكأني أنظر إلى الفساطيط في آخر الزمان كأمثال النجوم حول إرم، وإن خير منازل المسلمين يومئذ وأرفقه بهم لصور وقرين»

Where to toss? He said: I said: I marked you towards the west, twelve miles away. He said: How much distance is there between me and Al-Sarat? I said: Such and such a mile. He said: Do you have knowledge of Sur and Qarin? I said: Yes, you know them. He said: Is there a way to follow them? I said: No. He said: Why? I said: They fell with a man who did not have a home in his people’s country, so a relative of his fell upon them, while they were in the presence of his people, so he would not choose a home over them. He said: And who is he? I said: Ruh bin Zanbaa. He said: He remained silent. He said: I said: So you asked me, may Allah have mercy on you, and I told you, so what was that? He said: It is as if I were looking at the fassites at the end of time like the stars around Iram, and that the best of the Muslims’ homes on that day and the closest to them would be for Sur and Qarin.
