"تِلْكَ الرَّوْضَةُ رَوْضَةُ الإِسْلَام، وَذَلِكَ الْعَمُودُ عَمَودُ الإِسْلَامِ، وَتِلْكَ الْعُرْوَةُ عُرْوَةُ الْوثْقَى، لَا تَزَالُ مُسْتَمْسِكًا بالإِسْلَام حَتَّى تَمُوتَ".

قاله عليه الصلاةُ والسلامُ لعْبدِ اللَّه بن سَلَّام حينَ قَالَ: رأَيتُ رُوْضَةً، في وَسَطِ الرَّوْضَةِ عَمُودٌ، في أَعْلَا الْعَمُودِ عُرْوةٌ، فَاسْتَمْسَكتُ بالْعُرْوةِ.

(In a dream) I saw myself in a garden, and there was a pillar in the middle of the garden, and there was a handhold at the top of the pillar. I was asked to climb it. I said, "I cannot." Then a servant came and lifted up my clothes and I climbed (the pillar), and then got hold of the handhold, and I woke up while still holding it. I narrated that to the Prophet ﷺ who said, "The garden symbolizes the garden of Islam, and the handhold is the firm Islamic handhold which indicates that you will be adhering firmly to Islam until you die."  

البخاري:٧٠١٤حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا أَزْهَرُ عَنِ ابْنِ عَوْنٍ ح وَحَدَّثَنِي خَلِيفَةُ حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذٌ حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عَوْنٍ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ حَدَّثَنَا قَيْسُ بْنُ عُبَادٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَلاَمٍ قَالَ

رَأَيْتُ كَأَنِّي فِي رَوْضَةٍ وَسَطَ الرَّوْضَةِ عَمُودٌ فِي أَعْلَى الْعَمُودِ عُرْوَةٌ فَقِيلَ لِي ارْقَهْ قُلْتُ لاَ أَسْتَطِيعُ فَأَتَانِي وَصِيفٌ فَرَفَعَ ثِيَابِي فَرَقِيتُ فَاسْتَمْسَكْتُ بِالْعُرْوَةِ فَانْتَبَهْتُ وَأَنَا مُسْتَمْسِكٌ بِهَا فَقَصَصْتُهَا عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ تِلْكَ الرَّوْضَةُ رَوْضَةُ الإِسْلاَمِ وَذَلِكَ الْعَمُودُ عَمُودُ الإِسْلاَمِ وَتِلْكَ الْعُرْوَةُ عُرْوَةُ الْوُثْقَى لاَ تَزَالُ مُسْتَمْسِكًا بِالإِسْلاَمِ حَتَّى تَمُوتَ
