It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Darda’ (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I was sleeping when I saw that the pillar of the Book was taken from beneath my head. Then I thought that it was being taken away, so I kept my gaze following it. Then it was taken to Syria. Beware! When tribulations occur, the core of faith will be in Syria.
