Salam brothers and sisters;

Can you please tell me where is the city al-amaq situated according to the hadith below:?

"The Romans will surround a leader from my children. His name will be the same as mine (i.e. the Mahdi). They will fight each other at a place called Al-A'maq and one third, or thereabouts, of the Muslims will be killed. They will fight again on another day and again one third or thereabouts of the Muslims will be killed. On the third day they will fight again and the Romans will be defeated. And they will remain there until they open Constantinople. It is whilst they are distributing the spoils of war that a messenger will come informing them that the false messiah is in their home town with their children." (Son of Hibban, At-Tirmizi, Abuya'li, At-Tabarani, Al Bazaar, Abu Nuaym and Al Hakim)

Thank you and wishing blessed ramadan,
Rashed

وعليكم السلام ورحمة الله وبركاتهAccording to Yāqūt, Muʿjam al-buldān, vol. 1, p. 222, al-Aʿmāq, mentioned in the hadiths, perhaps refers to al-ʿAmq, a known toponym, which he locates near Dābiq (also mentioned together with al-Aʿmāq in hadiths) between Aleppo (in Northern Syria) and Anṭākiya (Syrian Antioch, now in southern Turkey, near the border with Syria).

Ramadan mubarak
