عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ الْحَارِثِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عَمْرَو بْنَ الْعَاصِ يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ ”بَيْنَا أَنَا فِي مَنَامِي أَتَتْنِي الْمَلَائِكَةُ فَحَمَلَتْ عَمُودَ الْكِتَابِ مِنْ تَحْتِ وِسَادَتِي فَعَمَدَتْ بِهِ إِلَى الشَّامِ أَلَا فَالْإِيمَانُ حَيْثُ تَقَعُ الْفِتَنُ بِالشَّامِ“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna ‘Amr ibn al-‘As (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I was sleeping when angels came to me. I saw in a dream that they pulled the pillar of the Book from beneath my pillow, then they took it and headed towards the region of Syria. Beware, the essence of faith will be in that region of Syria where tribulations will arise.
