Sayyiduna Abu al-Darda' (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Once, while I was sleeping, I saw (in a dream) that the pillar of the Book was carried away from beneath my head. I thought that it was being taken away, so I followed it with my gaze, and it was taken to Syria (al-Sham). Behold! When trials occur, faith will be in Syria."
Al-Bazzar recorded it; its narrators are the narrators of the Sahih, except Muhammad bin Amir al-Antaki, who is thiqah (trustworthy).
