- " صفوة الله من أرضه الشام وفيها صفوته من خلقه وعباده ولتدخلن الجنة من أمتي ثلة لا حساب عليهم ولا عذاب ".
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Umamah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "From Allah's earth, His chosen land is the land of Sham, and in Sham there are many servants of Allah who are beloved to Allah, and in my Ummah there is also a group who will enter Paradise without reckoning or punishment."
