ahmad:3410Muḥammad b. Jaʿfar > ʿAwf b. Abū Jamīlah > Yazīd al-Fārisī

[Machine] "I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in a dream during the time of Ibn Abbas. He said, 'Yazid used to write the Qur'an.' I said to Ibn Abbas, 'I saw the Messenger of Allah ﷺ in a dream.' Ibn Abbas replied, 'If you saw me, then you have seen the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . Can you describe the man you saw?' I said, 'Yes, I saw a man between two men, his body and flesh were a mixture of brown and white, with a beautiful smile, dark eyelashes, and a beautiful, full face. His beard filled from one end to another, almost covering his throat.' Awf said, 'I don't know how to describe him further.' Ibn Abbas said, 'If you saw him while awake, you wouldn't be able to describe him beyond this.'"  

أحمد:٣٤١٠حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَوْفُ بْنُ أَبِي جَمِيلَةَ عَنْ يَزِيدَ الْفَارِسِيِّ قَالَ

رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فِي النَّوْمِ زَمَنَ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ وَكَانَ يَزِيدُ يَكْتُبُ الْمَصَاحِفَ قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لِابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ فِي النَّوْمِ قَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ فَإِنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ لَا يَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ يَتَشَبَّهَ بِي فَمَنْ رَآنِي فِي النَّوْمِ فَقَدْ رَآنِي فَهَلْ تَسْتَطِيعُ أَنْ تَنْعَتَ لَنَا هَذَا الرَّجُلَ الَّذِي رَأَيْتَ؟ قَالَ قُلْتُ نَعَمْ رَأَيْتُ رَجُلًا بَيْنَ الرَّجُلَيْنِ جِسْمُهُ وَلَحْمُهُ أَسْمَرُ إِلَىالْبَيَاضِ حَسَنُ الْمَضْحَكِ أَكْحَلُ الْعَيْنَيْنِ جَمِيلُ دَوَائِرِ الْوَجْهِ قَدْ مَلَأَتْ لِحْيَتُهُ مِنْ هَذِهِ إِلَى هَذِهِ حَتَّى كَادَتْ تَمْلَأُ نَحْرَهُ قَالَ عَوْفٌ لَا أَدْرِي مَا كَانَ مَعَ هَذَا مِنَ النَّعْتِ قَالَ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ لَوْ رَأَيْتَهُ فِي الْيَقَظَةِ مَا اسْتَطَعْتَ أَنْ تَنْعَتَهُ فَوْقَ هَذَا
