It is narrated from Hazrat Zaid bin Thabit (may Allah be pleased with him) that one day we were sitting with the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) when the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said twice, "Glad tidings for the land of Shaam." I asked, "What is special about Shaam?" The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) replied, "The angels have spread their wings over the land of Shaam."
