It is narrated from Hazrat Asma (may Allah be pleased with her) with reference to Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) that I used to serve the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). When I finished my work, I would come and lie down in the mosque. One day, while I was lying down, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) came and nudged me with his blessed foot. I sat up straight. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "O Abu Dharr! What will you do when you are expelled from Madinah?" I replied: I will return to the Prophet's Mosque and my house. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "And when you are expelled from there as well, what will you do?" I replied: I will go to Syria, which is the land of migration, the land of resurrection, and the land of the Prophets. I will take up residence there. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "If you are expelled from there as well, what will you do?" I replied: I will go back there again. The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) asked: "If you are expelled from there again?" I replied: At that time, I will take up my sword and whoever tries to expel me, I will strike him with my sword. Upon hearing this, the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) placed his blessed hand on my shoulder and said three times: "Abu Dharr! Be forgiving, go wherever they take you, even if your ruler is an Abyssinian slave, until you meet me in this state."
