There are hadiths regarding the multiplication of trials in the end times that command migration to Sham and Yemen; what is their authenticity?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
Peace be upon you, and Allah's mercy and blessings.

The Shaykh : And upon you be peace, and Allah's mercy and blessings.

The questioner : One of the brothers mentioned that he read in a pamphlet published in the Kingdom that in the end times trials will multiply, and that a person must either travel to Sham or Yemen to escape the trials. What is the authenticity of this hadith?

The Shaykh : As for the multiplication of trials in the end times, the hadiths have reached the level of mass transmission, or nearly so; there are many hadiths on this. As for migrating to Sham or Yemen, I do not know of an authentic hadith on this. Escaping from trials is done by leaving the cities, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
There will come a time when the best property of a man will be sheep يوشك أن يكون خير مال الرجل غنمًا
Sahih al-Bukhari 3300
or
the best property of a man will be sheep which he will graze on the tops of mountains and the places where rain falls خير مال الرجل غنم يتتبع بها شعف الجبال ومواقع القطر لما يراه من الفتن
Sahih al-Bukhari 3300
But if a person is able to remain, be patient, and call people to good, that is more obligatory and more beneficial for him.
