Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 32194 — The taking up of the Quran

Shaqiq bin Salamah said that Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "How will you be when a night comes upon the Qur'an in which the Qur'an is taken away?" The narrator asked: "O Abu Abd al-Rahman, how can that be, when the Qur'an is preserved in the breasts of men?" He said: "Allah will send a pure wind, and every believer will die."
