Is the correct wording in the Hadith, "I saw the pillar of the Book as if it were a pearl carried by angels, and I followed it with my gaze until it was placed in Sham," "لؤلؤة" (a pearl) or "لواء" (a banner)?
The hadith has different narrations. Some mention a "liwa'" (banner), and some mention a "lu'lu'ah" (pearl). In another narration, it states: "a white pillar as if it were a pearl." Al-Albani deemed this narration weak.
