Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ عِيسَى حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَمْزَةَ عَنْ زَيْدِ بْنِ وَاقِدٍ حَدَّثَنِي بُسْرُ بْنُ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو إِدْرِيسَ الْخَوْلَانِيُّ عَنْ أَبِي الدَّرْدَاءِ قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَيْنَا أَنَا نَائِمٌ إِذْ رَأَيْتُ عَمُودَ الْكِتَابِ احْتُمِلَ مِنْ تَحْتِ رَأْسِي فَظَنَنْتُ أَنَّهُ مَذْهُوبٌ بِهِ فَأَتْبَعْتُهُ بَصَرِي فَعُمِدَ بِهِ إِلَى الشَّامِ أَلَا وَإِنَّ الْإِيمَانَ حِينَ تَقَعُ الْفِتَنُ بِالشَّامِ.
English Translation
Ishaq ibn Isa told us: Yahya ibn Hamzah told us, from Zayd ibn Waqid: Busr ibn Ubaydullah told me: Abu Idris al-Khawlani told me, from Abu al-Darda, who said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: 'While I was sleeping, I saw the pillar of the Book lifted up from beneath my head. I thought it was being taken away, so I followed it with my sight, and it was carried to Syria. Indeed, faith, when trials occur, will be in Syria.'
