“Dreams are attached to the foot of a bird* until they are interpreted, then when they are interpreted they come to pass.” He said: “And dreams are one of the forty-six parts of prophecy.” He (the narrator) said: “And I think he said: ‘(A person) should not tell them except to one whom he loves or one who is wise.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3914)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ الرُّؤْيَا عَلَى رِجْلِ طَائِرٍ مَا لَمْ تُعَبَّرْ فَإِذَا عُبِّرَتْ وَقَعَتْ قَالَ وَالرُّؤْيَا جُزْءٌ مِنْ سِتَّةٍ وَأَرْبَعِينَ جُزْءًا مِنَ النُّبُوَّةِ قَالَ وَأَحْسِبُهُ قَالَ لَا يَقُصُّهَا إِلَّا عَلَى وَادٍّ أَوْ ذِي رَأْيٍ  

[Machine] "Wakii' ibn Hudus narrated"  

عَنْ وَكِيعِ بْنِ حُدُسٍ  

“O Messenger of Allah, my father is an old man and he cannot perform Hajj or ‘Umrah, and he is not able to ride the mount (due to old age).” He said: “Perform Hajj and ‘Umrah on behalf of your father.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 2906)  

أَنَّهُ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنَّ أَبِي شَيْخٌ كَبِيرٌ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ الْحَجَّ وَلَا الْعُمْرَةَ وَلَا الظَّعْنَ قَالَ حُجَّ عَنْ أَبِيكَ وَاعْتَمِرْ  

“O Messenger of Allah, my father is an old man and he cannot perform Hajj or ‘Umrah, and he is not able to ride the mount (due to old age).” He said: “Perform Hajj and ‘Umrah on behalf of your father.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 2906)  

أَنَّهُ أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنَّ أَبِي شَيْخٌ كَبِيرٌ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ الْحَجَّ وَلَا الْعُمْرَةَ وَلَا الظَّعْنَ قَالَ حُجَّ عَنْ أَبِيكَ وَاعْتَمِرْ  

"I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, will we see Allah on the Day of Resurrection? And what is the sign of that in His creation?' He said: 'O Abu Razin, do each of you not see the moon individually?' I said: 'Of course.' He said: 'Allah is Greater, and that is His sign in His creation.'" (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 180)   

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَكُلُّنَا يَرَى اللهَ ﷻ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ؟ وَمَا آيَةُ ذَلِكَ فِي خَلْقِهِ؟ قَالَ يَا أَبَا رَزِينٍ أَلَيْسَ كُلُّكُمْ يَرَى الْقَمَرَ مُخْلِيًا بِهِ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ بَلَى يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ فَاللهُ أَعْظَمُ  

"The Messenger of Allah said: 'Allah laughs at the despair of His slaves although He soon changes it.' I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, does the Lord laugh?' He said: 'Yes.' I said: 'We shall never be deprived of good by a Lord Who laughs.'" (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 181)  

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ ضَحِكَ رَبُّنَا مِنْ قُنُوطِ عَبْدِهِ وَقُرْبِ غِيَرِهِ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَوَيَضْحَكُ الرَّبُّ ﷻ؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ لَنْ نَعْدَمَ مِنْ رَبٍّ يَضْحَكُ خَيْرًا  

"I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, where was our Lord before He created His creation?' He said: He was above the clouds, below which was air, and above which was air and water. Then He created His Throne above the water.'" (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 182)  

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَيْنَ كَانَ رَبُّنَا ﷻ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَخْلُقَ خَلْقَهُ؟ قَالَ كَانَ فِي عَمَاءٍ مَا تَحْتَهُ هَوَاءٌ وَمَا فَوْقَهُ هَوَاءٌ ثُمَّ خَلَقَ عَرْشَهُ عَلَى الْمَاءِ  

[Machine] I asked, "O Messenger of Allah, where is my mother?" He said, "Your mother is in the Fire." I said, "Then where are the ones who have passed away from our family?" He said, "Are you not pleased that your mother is with my mother?"  

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَيْنَ أُمِّي؟ قَالَ أُمُّكَ فِي النَّارِ قَالَ قُلْتُ فَأَيْنَ مَنْ مَضَى مِنْ أَهْلِكَ؟ قَالَ أَمَا تَرْضَى أَنْ تَكُونَ أُمُّكَ مَعَ أُمِّي  

“O Messenger of Allah, my father is an old man and he cannot perform Hajj or ‘Umrah, and he is not able to ride the mount (due to old age).” He said: “Perform Hajj and ‘Umrah on behalf of your father.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 2906)  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ أَبِي شَيْخٌ كَبِيرٌ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ الْحَجَّ وَالْعُمْرَةَ وَلَا الظَّعْنَ قَالَ حُجَّ عَنْ أَبِيكَوَاعْتَمِرْ  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ said, "The vision of a believer is one of forty-six parts of prophethood. I believe that the vision of a believer can exceed a flying bird unless he informs others of it. But when he informs others of it, it will come true."  

قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ رُؤْيَا الْمُؤْمِنِ جُزْءٌ مِنْ أَرْبَعِينَ جُزْءًا مِنَ النُّبُوَّةِ أَشُكُّ أَنَّهُ زاد رُؤْيَا الْمُؤْمِنِ عَلَى رِجْلِ طَائِرٍ مَا لَمْ يُخْبِرْ بِهَا فَإِذَا أَخْبَرَ بِهَا وَقَعَتْ  

[Machine] He said, "O Messenger of Allah, will we eat and still see our Lord on the Day of Resurrection? And what is the sign of that in His creation?" So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Do you not all look at the moon while it is full?" He said, "Yes." He said, "So Allah is even greater." He said, "I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, how does Allah revive the dead? And what is the sign of that in His creation?' He said, 'Have you not passed by a valley that was destroyed?' He said, 'Yes.' He said, 'And have you not passed by it again and this time it was green and lush?' He said, 'I said, 'Yes.' He said, 'Well, in the same way, Allah revives the dead and that is His sign in His creation.'"  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَكُلُّنَا يَرَى رَبَّهُ ﷻ يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ؟ وَمَا آيَةُ ذَلِكَ فِي خَلْقِهِ؟ فَقَالَ رَسُولُاللهِ ﷺ أَلَيْسَ كُلُّكُمْ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى الْقَمَرِ مُخْلِيًا بِهِ؟ قَالَ بَلَى قَالَ فَاللهُ أَعْظَمُ قَالَ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ كَيْفَ يُحْيِي اللهُ الْمَوْتَى؟ وَمَا آيَةُ ذَلِكَ فِي خَلْقِهِ؟ قَالَ أَمَا مَرَرْتَ بِوَادِي أَهْلِكَ مَحْلًا؟ قَالَ بَلَى قَالَ أَمَا مَرَرْتَ بِهِ يَهْتَزُّ خَضِرًا؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَ ثُمَّ مَرَرْتَ بِهِ مَحْلًا؟ قَالَ بَلَى قَالَ فَكَذَلِكَ يُحْيِي اللهُ الْمَوْتَى وَذَلِكَ آيَتُهُ فِي خَلْقِهِ  

[Machine] I asked, "O Messenger of Allah, how does Allah bring the dead back to life?" He said, "Have you passed by a valley that was barren, then you passed by it and it was verdant?" Shu'bah said that he repeated this more than twice, "Similarly, Allah brings the dead back to life."  

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ كَيْفَ يُحْيِي اللهُالْمَوْتَى؟ فَقَالَ أَمَا مَرَرْتَ بِالْوَادِي مُمْحِلًا ثُمَّ تَمُرُّ بِهِ خَضِرًا؟ قَالَ شُعْبَةُ قَالَهُ أَكْثَرَ مِنْ مَرَّتَيْنِ كَذَلِكَ يُحْيِي اللهُالْمَوْتَى  

[Machine] I came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and I said, "O Messenger of Allah, how does Allah revive the dead?" He said, "Have you not passed by a land that was barren, then you passed by it while it was fertile?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Thus is the revival." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, what is faith?" He said, "To testify that there is no deity worthy of worship except Allah alone, with no partners, and to testify that Muhammad is His servant and messenger, and that Allah and His messenger are more beloved to you than anyone else, and to prefer being burned in the fire rather than associating partners with Allah, and to love someone without any personal interest except for the sake of Allah. If you are such, then love of faith has entered your heart, just as the love of water enters the heart of a thirsty person on a scorching day." I said, "O Messenger of Allah, how can I know that I am a believer?" He said, "None of my Ummah, or this Ummah, is a servant who performs a good deed and knows that it is a good deed, and Allah rewards him with goodness for it, or performs an evil deed and knows that it is an evil deed, and seeks forgiveness from Allah for it, knowing that no one forgives sins except Him, except that he is a believer."  

أَتَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ كَيْفَ يُحْيِي اللهُ الْمَوْتَى؟ قَالَ أَمَا مَرَرْتَ بِأَرْضٍ مِنْ أَرْضِكَ مُجْدِبَةٍ ثُمَّ مَرَرْتَ بِهَا مُخْصَبَةً؟ قَالَ نَعَمْ قَالَ كَذَلِكَ النُّشُورُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ وَمَا الْإِيمَانُ؟ قَالَ أَنْ تَشْهَدَ أَنْ لَا إِلَهَ إِلَّا اللهُ وَحْدَهُ لَا شَرِيكَ لَهُ وَأَنَّ مُحَمَّدًا عَبْدُهُ وَرَسُولُهُ وَأَنْ يَكُونَ اللهُ وَرَسُولُهُ أَحَبَّ إِلَيْكَ مِمَّاسِوَاهُمَا وَأَنْ تُحْرَقَ فِي النَّارِ أَحَبُّ إِلَيْكَ مِنْ أَنْ تُشْرِكَ بِاللهِ وَأَنْ تُحِبَّ غَيْرَ ذِي نَسَبٍ لَا تُحِبُّهُ إِلَّا لِلَّهِ ﷻ فَإِذَا كُنْتَ كَذَلِكَ فَقَدْ دَخَلَ حُبُّ الْإِيمَانِ فِي قَلْبِكَ كَمَا دَخَلَ حُبُّ الْمَاءِ لِلظَّمْآنِ فِي الْيَوْمِ الْقَائِظِ قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ كَيْفَ لِي بِأَنْ أَعْلَمَ أَنِّي مُؤْمِنٌ؟ قَالَ مَا مِنْ أُمَّتِي أَوْ هَذِهِ الْأُمَّةِ عَبْدٌ يَعْمَلُ حَسَنَةً فَيَعْلَمُ أَنَّهَا حَسَنَةٌ وَأَنَّ اللهَ ﷻ جَازِيهِ بِهَا خَيْرًا وَلَا يَعْمَلُ سَيِّئَةً فَيَعْلَمُ أَنَّهَا سَيِّئَةٌ ويَسْتَغْفَرُ اللهَ ﷻ مِنْهَا وَيَعْلَمُ أَنَّهُ لَا يَغْفِرُ إِلَّا هُوَ إِلَّا وَهُوَ مُؤْمِنٌ  

" The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: " The believer's dreams are a portion of the forty portions of Prophet-hood. And it is (as if it is) on the leg of a bird, as long as it is not spoken of. But when it is spoken of it drops." I think he said: " And it should not be discussed except with an intelligent one or a beloved one." (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2278)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِنَّ رُؤْيَا الْمُسْلِمِ جُزْءٌ مِنْ أَرْبَعِينَ جُزْءًا مِنَ النُّبُوَّةِ وَهِيَ عَلَى رِجْلِ طَائِرٍ مَا لَمْ يُحَدِّثْ بِهَا فَإِذَا حَدَّثَ بِهَا وَقَعَتْ قَالَ أَظُنُّهُ قَالَ لَا يُحَدِّثُ بِهَا إِلَّا حَبِيبًا أَوْ لَبِيبًا

[Machine] I asked the Messenger of Allah, "Do we eat the provision that Allah sees?" He replied, "Abdul Rahman, how can we see our Lord on the Day of Judgment? And what is the sign of that in His creation?" So I said, "Don't all of you look at the moon, hanging in the sky?" I said, "Yes." He said, "Indeed, it is greater."  

قُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ بَهْزٌ أَكُلُّنَا يَرَى رَبَّهُ ﷻ؟ قَالَ عَبْدُ الرَّحْمَنِ كَيْفَ نَرَى رَبَّنَا يَوْمَ الْقِيَامَةِ؟ وَمَا آيَةُ ذَلِكَ فِي خَلْقِهِ؟ فَقَالَ أَلَيْسَ كُلُّكُمْ يَنْظُرُ إِلَى الْقَمَرِ مُخْلِيًا بِهِ قَالَ قُلْتُ بَلَى قَالَ فَإِنَّهُ أَعْظَمُ  

"O Messenger of Allah! My father is an old man who cannot perform Hajj or 'Umrah, nor can he travel." He said "Perform Hajj and 'Umrah on behalf of your father." (Using translation from Nasāʾī 2637)  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّ أَبِي شَيْخٌ كَبِيرٌ لَا يُطِيقُ الْحَجَّ وَلَا الْعُمْرَةَ وَلَا الظَّعْنَ قَالَ حُجَّ عَنْ أَبِيكَ وَاعْتَمِرْ  

"I said: 'O Messenger of Allah, where was our Lord before He created His creation?' He said: He was above the clouds, below which was air, and above which was air and water. Then He created His Throne above the water.'" (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 182)   

أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَيْنَ كَانَ رَبُّنَا ﷻ قَبْلَ أَنْ يَخْلُقَ السَّمَاوَاتِ وَالْأَرْضَ؟ قَالَ فِي عَمَاءٍ مَا فَوْقَهُ هَوَاءٌ وَمَا تَحْتَهُ هَوَاءٌ ثُمَّ خَلَقَ عَرْشَهُ عَلَى الْمَاءِ  

[Machine] From the Prophet ﷺ , he said, "Our Lord laughs at the despair of His servants and the closeness of others." Abu Razine said, "I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, does the Mighty Lord laugh? Shall we not be deprived of a Lord who laughs well?'" He ﷺ said, "This is a good narration. Yes, we shall not be deprived of a Lord who laughs well."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ ضَحِكَ رَبُّنَا مِنْ قُنُوطِ عَبْادِهِ وَقُرْبِ غِيَرِهِ قَالَ أَبُو رَزِينٍ فَقُلْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَوَيَضْحَكُ الرَّبُّ ﷻ الْعَظِيمُ لَنْ نَعْدَمَ مِنْ رَبٍّ يَضْحَكُ خَيْرًا؟ قَالَ حَسَنٌ فِي حَدِيثِهِ فَقَالَ نَعَمْ لَنْ نَعْدَمَ مِنْ رَبٍّ يَضْحَكُ خَيْرًا  

[Machine] He said, "O Messenger of Allah, we used to slaughter sacrifices in the month of Rajab and we would eat from them and feed those who came to us." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said to him, "There is no harm in that." Waki' said, "So I will never abandon it."  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّا كُنَّا نَذْبَحُ فِي رَجَبٍ ذَبَائِحَ فَنَأْكُلُ مِنْهَا وَنُطْعِمُ مِنْهَا مَنْ جَاءَنَا قَالَ فَقَالَ لَهُ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا بَأْسَ بِذَلِكَ قَالَ فَقَالَ وَكِيعٌ فَلَا أَدَعُهَاأَبَدًا  

“O Messenger of Allah, my father is an old man and he cannot perform Hajj or ‘Umrah, and he is not able to ride the mount (due to old age).” He said: “Perform Hajj and ‘Umrah on behalf of your father.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 2906)   

أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالَ إِنَّ أَبِي أَدْرَكَ الْإِسْلَامَ وَهُوَ شَيْخٌ كَبِيرٌ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ الْحَجَّ وَلَا الْعُمْرَةَ وَلَا الظَّعْنَ قَالَ حُجَّ عَنْ أَبِيكَ وَاعْتَمِرْ  

[Machine] He said, "O Messenger of Allah, indeed we used to sacrifice animals in the month of Rajab, and we would eat from it and feed whoever came to us." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "There is no harm in that." Waki' said, "I will never abandon it."  

أَنَّهُ قَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنَّا كُنَّا نَذْبَحُ فِي رَجَبٍ ذَبَائِحَ فَنَأْكُلُ مِنْهَا وَنُطْعِمُ مِنْهَا مَنْ جَاءَنَا قَالَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَا بَأْسَ بِذَلِكَ فَقَالَ وَكِيعٌ لَا أَدَعُهَا أَبَدًا  

[Machine] "The Prophet of Allah ﷺ said that the dream of a Muslim is a part of the forty parts of prophethood. It is like a bird's wing, as long as one does not mention it. But when one mentions it, it comes true."  

أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ رُؤْيَا الْمُسْلِمِ جُزْءٌ مِنْ أَرْبَعِينَ جُزْءًا مِنَ النُّبُوَّةِ وَهِيَ يَعْنِي عَلَى رِجْلِ طَائِرٍ مَالَمْ يُحَدِّثْ بِهَا فَإِذَا حَدَّثَ بِهَا وَقَعَتْ  

[Machine] A foundling came to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ along with his companion, who was called Nuhayk ibn 'Asim ibn Malik ibn al-Muntafiq. The foundling said, "I left with my companion until we reached the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in order to denounce al-Nasila during Rajab. We arrived to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ and met him when he finished his morning prayer. Then, he stood up among the people as a speaker, and said, 'O people, behold, I have hidden my voice from you for four days! I assure you that I will make you hear it. Is there anyone among you who has been sent by his people?' They replied, 'We know what the Messenger of Allah ﷺ says. Perhaps he is occupied with his own speech, or the speech of his companion, or perhaps he is occupied by the devils.' I said, 'I am here to fulfill your request. I have something to say to you.' Then, the people sat down, and I and my companion remained standing until the Messenger of Allah ﷺ was finished with us. Then, he laughed and shook his head, indicating that he knew I was seeking information about my lineage. He said, 'Your Lord has five keys to the unseen which only He knows. He gestured with his hand and I said, 'What are they?' He said, 'The knowledge of the hour of death, He knows when the semen forms in the womb, and when it will be placed in the womb. He knows what will happen tomorrow. He knows whether or not you will eat tomorrow, and knows when the rain will fall. He endows the afflicted ones of His subjects to seek refuge from Him in hope, fear, and sadness.' Then he continued laughing, showing that he knew his close ones were nearby. The foundling said, 'I said, 'We will never be deprived of someone who laughs well.' Then he added, 'And He knows the Day of Judgment!' I asked, 'O Messenger of Allah, teach me what you teach the people, and what you know that we don't know. We are from a region where nobody believes us.' He replied, 'You will live for as long as you have lived thus far, then your Prophet will come to you and you will live again. After that, you will be revived and witness the Resurrection, and then it will be sent forth, the shout of horror by the god (Allah), on whose back nothing exists but death, whether it is a killer carrying something or a tight clay coffin, until the grave splits open from the head of the prophet and his sat down and said, 'Your Lord wanders around the earth while the towns stood on its edge.' Then He sent out His Lord, the Sky, so they appeared magnificent, but it is as if He imagined on His back prevention murder or a grave of death, only the grave is separated from the head until it becomes equal in size and then, he would sit down. I asked, 'O Messenger of Allah, how will He gather us after we have been dispersed by the winds, disasters, and wild animals?' He asked, 'Do you want me to tell you something similar? When Allah's Earth appears as a crushed grape, you will say, "Never, eternal life!", but then Allah will send His sky over you, and you will not live long after that until Allah's sky appears to you as one gulp, and I swear by Allah, your God is more capable of gathering you from water than gathering the plants of the Earth and bringing you out of the
