[Machine] "When the first turmoil occurred, it troubled me, so I said, "O Allah, show me something from the matters of truth that I can hold onto." He said, "I showed you the worldly life and the Hereafter and between them is a wall that is not very high." And suddenly, I found myself on a hill and I said, "If I hold onto this hill, I might fall into the hands of my enemies, who are more courageous than me and will inform me." He said, "So I descended onto a piece of land with trees, and there was a group of people sitting. I asked them, "Are you the martyrs?" They replied, "No, we are the angels." I said, "Then where are the martyrs?" They said, "Go forward to the highest ranks, to Muhammad ﷺ ." So I went forward and suddenly, I found myself at a stage. Allah knows best what it represented, whether in terms of expansion or beauty. And then I found myself with Muhammad ﷺ and Ibrahim ﷺ . He (Muhammad) said to Ibrahim, "Seek forgiveness for my Ummah." But Ibrahim said to him, "You don't know what they will do after you. They will shed their blood and kill their leaders. Will they not do as my dear Khalil (Prophet Ibrahim's friend) did? (referring to Sa'd ibn Mu'adh). I said, "Show me, then I was shown Sa'd, and I saw with whom he was. So I went to him and told him about the dream, and he was very happy with it and said, "Woe to the one who does not have Ibrahim as his Khalil!" I asked, "Which of the two groups are you with?" He said, "I am not with either of them." I asked, "Then how do you command me?" He said, "Do you have a walking stick?" I said, "No." He said, "Then buy a walking stick and isolate yourself with it until the matter becomes clear."
