[Machine] "I used to spend the night in the mosque, and I didn't have any family members. So I saw in a dream as if I was being taken to a well where there were men hung. It was said, 'Take him to the right.' So I told Hafsah about the dream and asked her to narrate it to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ . She narrated it to him, and he said, 'Who saw this dream?' She replied, 'Ibn Umar.' So the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'What an excellent young man, or what an excellent man he is if he were to perform the night prayer.' He (Ibn Umar) said, 'And when I slept, I wouldn't wake up until morning.' He (the Prophet) said, 'Then maintain the night prayer.'"  

الدارمي:١٤٤٠حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ خَالِدٍ عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ الْفَزَارِيِّ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ

كُنْتُ أَبِيتُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لِي أَهْلٌ فَرَأَيْتُ فِي الْمَنَامِ كَأَنَّمَا انْطُلِقَ بِي إِلَى بِئْرٍ فِيهَا رِجَالٌ مُعَلَّقُونَ فَقِيلَ انْطَلِقُوا بِهِ إِلَى ذَاتِ الْيَمِينِ فَذَكَرْتُ الرُّؤْيَا لِحَفْصَةَ فَقُلْتُ قُصِّيهَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَصَّتْهَا عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ «مَنْ رَأَى هَذِهِ؟» قَالَتْ ابْنُ عُمَرَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ نِعْمَ الْفَتَى أَوْ قَالَ نِعْمَ الرَّجُلُ لَوْ كَانَ يُصَلِّي مِنَ اللَّيْلِ قَالَ وَكُنْتُ إِذَا نِمْتُ لَمْ أَقُمْ حَتَّى أُصْبِحَ قَالَ فَكَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ يُصَلِّي اللَّيْلَ

I seek refuge with Allah from Hell-fire; I seek refuge with Allah from Hell-fire. Then another Angel joined the two others, and said unto me: You need not fear I narrated this dream to llafsa and she narrated it to Messenger of Allah, whereupon Allah's Apostle said: Worthy is this man Abdullah, O that he would pray at night, and Silim added that Abdullah afterwards slept only but for a small part of the night.

ابن حبّان:٧٠٧٠أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْأَزْدِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ سَالِمٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ قَالَ

كَانَ الرَّجُلُ فِي حَيَاةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ إِذَا رَأَى رُؤْيَا قَصَّهَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَكُنْتُ غُلَامًا شَابًّا عَزَبًا وَكُنْتُ أَنَامُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ فَرَأَيْتُ فِيَ الْمَنَامِ كَأَنَّ مَلَكَيْنِ أَخَذَانِي فَذَهَبَا بِي إِلَى النَّارِ فَإِذَا هِيَ مَطْوِيَّةٌ كَطَيِّ الْبِئْرِ وَإِذَا لَهَا قَرْنَانِ وَإِذَا فِيهَا نَاسٌ قَدْ عَرَفْتُهُمْ فَجَعَلْتُ أَقُولُ أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ النَّارِ مَرَّتَيْنِ فَلَقِيَهُمَا مَلَكٌ آخَرُ فقَالَ لِي لَنْ تُرَاعَ فَقَصَصْتُهَا عَلَى حَفْصَةَ فَقَصَّتْهَا حَفْصَةُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ ﷺ «نِعْمَ الرَّجُلُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ عُمَرَ غَيْرَ أَنَّهُ لَا يُصَلِّي مِنَ اللَّيْلِ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا»
