Al-Fath ar-Rabbani 12721 — The first section regarding the virtues
عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَآلِهِ وَسَلَّمَ ”بَيْنَا أَنَا نَائِمٌ إِذْ رَأَيْتُ عَمُودَ الْكِتَابِ احْتُمِلَ مِنْ تَحْتِ رَأْسِي فَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ مَذْهُوبٌ بِهِ فَأَتْبَعْتُهُ بَصَرِي فَعُمِدَ بِهِ إِلَى الشَّامِ أَلَا وَإِنَّ الْإِيمَانَ حِينَ تَقَعُ الْفِتَنُ بِالشَّامِ“
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Darda’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I was sleeping when I saw that the pillar of the Book was taken from beneath my head. Then I thought that it was being taken away, so I kept my gaze following it. Then it was taken to Syria. Beware! When tribulations occur, the core of faith will be in Syria.
