"We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ collecting the Qur'an on pieces of cloth, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Tuba is for Ash-Sham.' So we said: 'Why is that O Messenger of Allah?' He said: 'Because the angels of Ar-Rahman spread their wings over it.'"

كُنَّا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ نُؤَلِّفُ الْقُرْآنَ مِنَ الرِّقَاعِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ طُوبَى لِلشَّأْمِ فَقُلْنَا لأَىٍّ ذَلِكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ لأَنَّ مَلاَئِكَةَ الرَّحْمَنِ بَاسِطَةٌ أَجْنِحَتَهَا عَلَيْهَا هَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ غَرِيبٌ إِنَّمَا نَعْرِفُهُ مِنْ حَدِيثِ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَيُّوبَ

[Machine] "While we were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ one day, he said 'Glad tidings for Sham, glad tidings for Sham.' I asked, 'What is the matter with Sham?' He replied, 'The angels are spreading their wings over Sham.'"

بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ يَوْمًا حِينَ قَالَ طُوبَى لِلشَّامِ طُوبَى لِلشَّامِ قُلْتُ مَا بَالُ الشَّامِ؟ قَالَ الْمَلَائِكَةُ بَاسِطُو أَجْنِحَتِهَا عَلَى الشَّامِ

[Machine] We used to gather around the Messenger of Allah ﷺ as he was compiling the Qur'an. He said, "Glad tidings to Syria." It was asked, "Why, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "Because the angels of the Most Merciful are spreading their wings over it." This narration was reported by Jarir ibn Hazim from Yahya ibn Ayyub, on the condition of Bukhari and Muslim.

كُنَّا حَوْلَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ نُؤَلِّفُ الْقُرْآنَ إِذْ قَالَ «طُوبَى لِلشَّامِ» فَقِيلَ لَهُ وَلِمَ؟ قَالَ «إِنَّ مَلَائِكَةَ الرَّحْمَنِ بَاسِطَةٌ أَجْنِحَتَهَا عَلَيْهِمْ» رَوَاهُ جَرِيرُ بْنُ حَازِمٍ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَيُّوبَعلى شرط البخاري ومسلم

"We were with the Messenger of Allah ﷺ collecting the Qur'an on pieces of cloth, so the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: 'Tuba is for Ash-Sham.' So we said: 'Why is that O Messenger of Allah?' He said: 'Because the angels of Ar-Rahman spread their wings over it.'" (Using translation from Tirmidhī 3954)

كُنَّا عِنْدَ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ نُؤَلِّفُ الْقُرْآنَ مِنَ الرِّقَاعِ إِذْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «طُوبَى لِلشَّامِ» فَقُلْنَا لِأَيِّ شَيْءٍ ذَاكَ؟ فَقَالَ «لِأَنَّ مَلَائِكَةَ الرَّحْمَنِ بَاسِطَةٌ أَجْنِحَتَهَا عَلَيْهِمْ»

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said one day while we were with him, "Blessings be upon the Sham (region)." He said, "Indeed, the angels of the Most Merciful spread their wings over it."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمًا وَنَحْنُ عِنْدَهُ «طُوبَى لِلشَّامِ» قَالَ «إِنَّ مَلَائِكَةَ الرَّحْمَنِ لَبَاسِطَةٌ أَجْنِحَتَهَا عَلَيْهِ»

[Machine] "While we were around the Messenger of Allah ﷺ , compiling the Quran from pieces of parchment, he said, 'Blessed is Sham (Syria).' We asked, 'O Messenger of Allah, why is that?' He said, 'Verily, the angels of the Most Merciful are spreading their wings over them.'"

بَيْنَمَا نَحْنُ حَوْلَ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ نُؤَلِّفُ الْقُرْآنَ مِنَ الرِّقَاعِ إِذَا قَالَ «طُوبَى لِلشَّامِ» قِيلَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَلِمَ ذَاكَ؟ قَالَ «إِنَّ مَلَائِكَةَ الرَّحْمَنِ بَاسِطَةٌ أَجْنِحَتَهَا عَلَيْهِمْ»

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said while we were with him, "Blessings upon Syria." We asked, "Why, O Messenger of Allah?" He said, "Verily, the Most Merciful has spread His mercy upon it."

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ وَنَحْنُ عَنْدَهُ «طُوبَى لِلشَّامِ» فَقُلْنَا مَا بَالُهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ «إِنَّ الرَّحْمَنَ لَبَاسِطٌ رَحْمَتَهُ عَلَيْهِ»

"طُوبى للشَّامِ؛ لأنَّ مَلائِكَةَ الرَّحْمَنِ بَاسِطَةُ أجْنَحتَهَا عَليهَا".

"عن زيد بن ثابت قال: بينما نحن حول رسول الله ﷺ فولف (*) القرآن من الرقاع إذ قال: طوبى للشام، قيل: يا رسول الله ولم ذاك؟ قال: إنَّ ملائكة الرحمن باسطة أجنحتها عليها".
