وَعَنْ سُفْيَانَ بْنِ أَبِي زُهَيْرٍ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «يُفْتَحُ الْيَمَنُ فَيَأْتِي قومٌ يبُسُّونَ فيَتَحمَّلونَ بأهليهم وَمن أطاعهم وَالْمَدِينَةُ خَيْرٌ لَهُمْ لَوْ كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ وَيُفْتَحُ الشَّامُ فَيَأْتِي قَوْمٌ يَبُسُّونَ فَيَتَحَمَّلُونَ بِأَهْلِيهِمْ وَمَنْ أَطَاعَهُمْ وَالْمَدِينَةُ خَيْرٌ لَهُمْ لَوْ كَانُوا يَعْلَمُونَ وَيُفْتَحُ الْعِرَاقُ فَيَأْتِي قَوْمٌ يَبُسُّونَ فَيَتَحَمَّلُونَ بِأَهْلِيهِمْ وَمَنْ أَطَاعَهُمْ وَالْمَدِينَةُ خَيْرٌ لَهُمْ لَوْ كَانُوا يعلمُونَ»

Sufyan ibn Abi Zuhayr reported: I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: “Yemen will be conquered, and people will hasten away, taking their families and those who obey them. Madinah is better for them, if only they knew. Syria will be conquered, and people will hasten away, taking their families and those who obey them. Madinah is better for them, if only they knew. Iraq will be conquered, and people will hasten away, taking their families and those who obey them. Madinah is better for them, if only they knew.” [Agreed upon]
Notes and open questions — unreviewed
The verb يَبُسُّونَ is uncommon here and seems to describe people hastening off or driving on their mounts.
يبُسُّونَ
The verb is uncommon in this context and its precise nuance is unclear.
Does it mean departing eagerly or urging their mounts quickly?
