It is narrated from Sayyiduna ‘Amr ibn al-‘As (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I was sleeping when angels came to me. I saw in a dream that they pulled the pillar of the Book from beneath my pillow, then they took it and headed towards the region of Syria. Beware, the essence of faith will be in that region of Syria where tribulations will arise.
