When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished the dawn prayer, he would ask: Did any of you have a dream last night? And he said: All that is left of Prophecy after me is a good vision. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 5017)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا انْصَرَفَ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الْغَدَاةِ قَالَ «هَلْ أُرِيَ أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمُ اللَّيْلَةَ رُؤْيَا؟» وَيَقُولُ «إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ يَبْقَى بَعْدِي مِنَ النُّبُوَّةِ إِلَّا الرُّؤْيَا الصَّالِحَةُ»  

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to be impressed by good dreams and he would say, "Has anyone among you seen a dream? Perhaps a man sees a dream and he asks about it, then when it is praised, it becomes more pleasing to him that he is a righteous man."  

كَانَتْ تُعْجِبُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ الرُّؤْيَا الْحَسَنَةُ وَيَقُولُ «هَلْ رَأَى أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ رُؤْيَا؟ فَرُبَّمَا رَأَى الرَّجُلُ رُؤْيَا فَيَسْأَلُ عَنْهُ فَإِذَا أُثْنِيَ عَلَيْهِ خَيْرًا كَانَ أَعْجَبَ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ يَكُونَ رَجُلًا صَالِحًا»  

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ drew aside the curtain when he had a cloth wrapped around his head during his final illness, and said: 'O Allah, I have conveyed (the Message)' three times. 'There is nothing left of the features of Prophethood except a good dream that a person sees or is seen by others for him. But I have been forbidden to recite the Qur'an when bowing and prostrating, so when you bow, then glorify your Lord and when you prostrate, then strive hard in supplication, for it is more deserving of a response.'" (Using translation from Nasāʾī 1120)  

كَشَفَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ السِّتْرَ وَرَأْسُهُ مَعْصُوبٌ فِي مَرَضِهِ الَّذِي مَاتَ فِيهِ قَالَ «اللهُمَّ هَلْ بَلَّغْتُ؟» ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ «إِنَّهُ لَمْ يُبْقِ مِنْ مُبَشِّرَاتِ النُّبُوَّةِ إِلَّا الرُّؤْيَا الصَّالِحَةُ يَرَاهَا الْعَبْدُ أَوْ تُرَى لَهُ أَلَا فَإِنِّي نُهِيتُ عَنِ الْقِرَاءَةِ فِي الرُّكُوعِ وَالسُّجُودِ فَإِذَا رَكَعْتُمْ فَعَظِّمُوا وَإِذَا سَجَدْتُمْ فَاجْتَهِدُوا فِي الدُّعَاءِ فَإِنَّهُ قَمِنٌ أَنْ يُسْتَجَابَ لَكُمْ»  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "A good dream (that comes true) of a righteous man is one of forty-six parts of prophetism." (Using translation from Bukhārī 6983)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «الرُّؤْيَا الْحَسَنَةُ مِنَ الرَّجُلِ الصَّالِحِ جُزْءٌ مِنْ سِتَّةٍ وَأَرْبَعِينَ جُزْءًا مِنَ النُّبُوَّةِ»  

A believer’s vision is the forty-sixth part of Prophecy. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 5018)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «رُؤْيَا الْمُسْلِمِ جُزْءٌ مِنْ سِتَّةٍ وَأَرْبَعِينَ جُزْءًا مِنَ النُّبُوَّةِ»  

“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘A righteous dream is one of the seventy parts of prophecy.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3897)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «الرُّؤْيَا الصَّالِحَةُ جُزْءٌ مِنْ سَبْعِينَ جُزْءًا»  

I heard the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) say: A good vision comes from Allah and a dream (hulm) from the devil, so when one of you sees what he dislikes, he must spit on his left (three times), and seek refuge in Allah from its evil. It will then not harm him. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 5021)   

وَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «الرُّؤْيَا فِي حَدِيثِ الْحَارِثِ الصَّالِحَةُ مِنَ اللهِ وَالْحُلُمُ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ فَإِذَا رَأَى أَحَدُكُمُ الشَّيْءَ يَكْرَهُهُ فَلْيَنْفِثْ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ إِذَا اسْتَيْقَظَ وَلْيَتَعَوَّذْ مِنْ شَرَّهَا فَإِنَّهَا لَنْ تَضُرَّهُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ»  

Some men amongst the companions of the Prophet ﷺ were shown in their dreams that the night of Qadr was in the last seven nights of Ramadan. Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "It seems that all your dreams agree that (the Night of Qadr) is in the last seven nights, and whoever wants to search for it (i.e. the Night of Qadr) should search in the last seven (nights of Ramadan). (Using translation from Bukhārī 2015)  

أَنَّ رِجَالًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أُرُوا لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ فِي الْمَنَامِ فِي السَّبْعِ الْأَوَاخِرِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنِّي أَرَى رُؤْيَاكُمْ قَدْ تَوَاطَأَتْ فِي السَّبْعِ الْأَوَاخِرِ فَمَنْ كَانَ مُتَحَرِّيَهَا فَلْيَتَحَرَّاهَا فِي السَّبْعِ الْأَوَاخِر»  

“Whoever sees me in a dream has (really) seen me, for Satan cannot appear in my form.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3902)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ رَآنِي فِي الْمَنَامِ فَقَدْ رَآنِي لَا يَنْبَغِي لِلشَّيْطَانِ أَنْ يَتَمَثَّلَ فِي صُورَتِي»  

[Machine] "He prostrates himself on the Prophet's forehead, so he mentioned that to him, so he laid down for him and said, 'Your vision is true.' Then he prostrated on his forehead."  

أَنَّهُ يَسْجُدُ عَلَى جَبْهَةِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَاضْطَجَعَ لَهُ وَقَالَ «صَدِّقْ رُؤْيَاكَ» فَسَجَدَ عَلَى جَبْهَتِهِ  

[Machine] "I saw in my dream as if I were prostrating on the forehead of the Prophet ﷺ, so I informed him about that. He said, 'The soul meets the soul.' Then the Prophet ﷺ put his head in this way – 'Affan placed his head backwards – and he placed his forehead on the forehead of the Prophet ﷺ."  

رَأَيْتُ فِي الْمَنَامِ كَأَنِّي أَسْجُدُ عَلَى جَبْهَةِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرَهُ بِذَلِكَ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ الرُّوحَ لَيَلْقَى الرُّوحَ» وَاقْتَبَعَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ رَأْسَهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ عَفَّانُ بِرَأْسِهِ إِلَى خَلْفِهِ فَوَضَعَ جَبْهَتَهُ عَلَى جَبْهَةِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ  

[Machine] He accepted the Prophet ﷺ, so he approached the Prophet ﷺ and mentioned that to him, so the Prophet ﷺ embraced him and kissed his forehead.  

أَنَّهُ يُقَبِّلُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَنَاوَلَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَبَّلَ جَبْهَتَهُ»  

“I came to Al-Madinah and sat with some old men in the mosque of the Prophet ﷺ. Then an old man came, leaning on his stick, and the people said: ‘Whoever would like to look at a man from among the people of Paradise, let him look at this man.’ He stood behind a pillar and prayed two Rak’ah. I got up and went to him, and said to him: ‘Some of the people said such and such.’ He said: ‘Praise is to Allah. Paradise belongs to Allah and He admits whomsoever He wills to it. At the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ I saw a dream in which a man came to me and said: “Let’s go.” So I went with him and he took me along a great road. A road was shown to me on the left and I wanted to follow it, but he said: “You are not one of its people.” Then a road was shown to me on the right, and I followed him until I reached a slippery mountain. He took me by the hand and helped me up. When I reached the top I could not stand firm. There was an iron pillar there with a golden ring at the top. He took my hand and helped me up until I reached the handhold, then he said: “Have you gotten a firm hold?” I said: “Yes.” Then he struck the pillar with his foot and I held tight to the pillar. I told this to the Prophet ﷺ and he said: "You have seen something good. The great road is the plain of gathering (on the Day of Resurrection). The road that you were shown on your left is the way of the people of Hell, and you are not one of its people. The road which you were shown on your right is the way of the people of Paradise. The slippery mountain is the place of the martyrs, and the handhold that you held on tight to is the handhold of Islam. Hold on tight to it until you die." I hope to be one of the people of Paradise,' and he was 'Abdullah bin Salam." (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3920)   

قَدِمْتُ الْمَدِينَةَ فَجَلَسْتُ إِلَى أَشْيِخَةِ مَسْجِدِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَجَاءَ شَيْخٌ يَتَوَكَّأُ عَلَى عَصًا لَهُ فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ هَذَا الرَّجُلُ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ فَقَامَ خَلْفَ سَارِيَةٍ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَقُمْتُ إِلَيْهِ فَلَمَّا قَضَى صَلَاتَهُ قُلْتُ لَهُمْ يَا هَؤُلَاءِ إِنَّكُمْ يَعْنِي أَهْلَ الْجَنَّةِ فَقَالَ الْجَنَّةُ لِلَّهِ يُدْخِلُهَا مَنْ يَشَاءُ وَإِنِّي رَأَيْتُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ رُؤْيَا رَأَيْتُ كَأَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَانِي فَقَالَ انْطَلِقْ فَانْطَلَقْتُ مَعَهُ فَدَخَلَ بِي فِي مَنْهَجٍ عَظِيمٍ فَبَيْنَا أَنَا أَمْشِي إِذْ عَرَضَ لِي طَرِيقٌ عَنْ شِمَالِي فَأَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَسْلُكَهَا فَقَالَ إِنَّكَ لَسْتَ مِنْ أَهْلِهَا ثُمَّ عَرَضَتْ لِي طَرِيقٌ عَنْ يَمِينِي فَسَلَكْتُهَا حَتَّى انْتَهَيْتُ إِلَى جَبَلٍ زَلِقٍ فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِي فَدَخَلَ بِي فَإِذَا أَنَا عَلَى ذُرْوَتِهِ وَإِذَا عَمُودٌ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ فِي أَعْلَاهُ عُرْوَةٌ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِي فَزَجَلَ بِي حَتَّى أَخَذْتُ بِالْعُرْوَةِ فَقَالَ اسْتَمْسِكْ بِالْعُرْوَةِ فَقَصَصْتُهَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ «خَيْرًا أَمَّا الْمَنْهَجُ الْعَظِيمُ فَالْمَحْشَرُ وَأَمَّا الطَّرِيقُ الَّتِي عَرَضَتْ عَنْ شِمَالِكَ فَطَرِيقُ أَهْلِ النَّارِ وَلَسْتَ مِنْ أَهْلِهَا وَأَمَّا الطَّرِيقُ الَّتِي عَرَضَتْ عَنْ يَمِينِكَ فَطَرِيقُ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ وَأَمَّا الْجَبَلُ الزَّلِقُ فَمَنْزِلَةُ الشُّهَدَاءِ وَأَمَّا الْعُرْوَةُ الَّتِي اسْتَمْسَكْتَ بِهَا فَعُرْوَةُ الْإِسْلَامِ فَاسْتَمْسِكْ بِهَا حَتَّى تَمُوتَ» فَأَنَا أَرْجُو أَنْ أَكُونَ مِنْ أَهْلِهَا  

That when the Ansar drew lots as to which of the emigrants should dwell with which of the Ansar, the name of ʿUthman bin Mazun came out (to be in their lot). Um Al-Ala further said, "Uthman stayed with us, and we nursed him when he got sick, but he died. We shrouded him in his clothes, and Allah's Apostle came to our house and I said, (addressing the dead ʿUthman), 'O Abu As-Sa'ib! May Allah be merciful to you. I testify that Allah has blessed you.' The Prophet ﷺ said to me, "How do you know that Allah has blessed him?" I replied, 'I do not know O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! May my parents be sacrificed for you.' Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'As regards ʿUthman, by Allah he has died and I really wish him every good, yet, by Allah, although I am Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I do not know what will be done to him.' Um Al- Ala added, 'By Allah I shall never attest the piety of anybody after him. And what Messenger of Allah ﷺs said made me sad." Um Al-Ala further said, "Once I slept and saw in a dream, a flowing stream for ʿUthman. So I went to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and told him about it, he said, 'That is (the symbol of) his deeds." (Using translation from Bukhārī 2687)   

عَنْ أُمِّ الْعَلَاءِ وَهِيَ امْرَأَةٌ مِنْ نِسَائِهِمْ كَانَتْ بَايَعَتْ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَتْ صَارَ لَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ مَظْعُونٍ فِي السُّكْنَى حِينَ اقْتَرَعَتِ الْأَنْصَارُ عَلَى سُكْنَى الْمُهَاجِرِينَ فَاشْتَكَى فَمَرَّضْنَاهُ حَتَّى تُوُفِّيَ ثُمَّ جَعَلْنَاهُ فِي أَثْوَابِهِ قَالَتْ فَدَخَلَ عَلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ فَقُلْتُ رَحْمَةُ اللهِ عَلَيْكَ أَبَا السَّائِبِ فَشَهَادَتِي أَنْ قَدْ أَكْرَمَكَ اللهُ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ «وَمَا يُدْرِيكِ؟» قَالَتْ لَا أَدْرِي وَاللهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ «أَمَّا هُوَ فَقَدْ جَاءَهُ الْيَقِينُ وَإِنِّي لَأَرْجُو لَهُ خَيْرًا وَاللهِ لَا أَدْرِي وَأَنَا رَسُولُ اللهِ مَا يُفْعَلُ بِي وَلَا بِكُمْ» قَالَتْ أُمُّ الْعَلَاءِ وَاللهِ لَا أُزَكِّي بَعْدَهُ أَحَدًا قَالَتْ وَأُرِيتُ لِعُثْمَانَ فِي النَّوْمِ عَيْنًا تَجْرِي فَذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَقَالُ «ذَاكَ عَمَلُهُ»  

I heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "While I was sleeping, I saw myself standing at a well, on it there was a bucket. I drew water from the well as much as Allah wished. Then Ibn Abi Quhafa (i.e. Abu Bakr) took the bucket from me and brought out one or two buckets (of water) and there was weakness in his drawing the water. May Allah forgive his weakness for him. Then the bucket turned into a very big one and Ibn Al-Khattab took it over and I had never seen such a mighty person amongst the people as him in performing such hard work, till the people drank to their satisfaction and watered their camels that knelt down there." (Using translation from Bukhārī 3664)   

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «بَيْنَمَا أَنَا نَائِمٌ رَأَيْتُنِي عَلَى قُلَيْبٍ فَنَزَعْتُ مِنْهَا مَا شَاءَ اللهُ ثُمَّ نَزَعَ ابْنُ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ ذَنُوبًا أَوْ ذَنُوبَيْنِ وَفِي نَزْعِهِ ضِعْفٌ وَلْيَغْفِرِ اللهُ لَهُ ثُمَّ اسْتَحَالَتْ غَرْبًا فَلَمْ أَرْ عَبْقَرِيًّا مِنَ النَّاسِ يَنْزِعُ نَزْعَهُ حَتَّى ضَرَبَ النَّاسُ بِعَطَنٍ»  

about the Prophet's dream in which he has seen Abu Bakr and ʿUmar: The Prophet ﷺ said, "I saw (in a dream) that the people had gathered. Then Abu Bakr stood up and pulled out one or two buckets full of water (from a well) and there was weakness in his pulling -- may Allah forgive him. Then Ibn Al- Khattab stood up, and the bucket turned into a very large one and I have never seen any strong man among the people doing such a hard job. He pulled out so much water that the people (drank to their satisfaction) and watered their camels to their fill, (and then after quenching their thirst) they sat beside the water." (Using translation from Bukhārī 7020)   

عَنْ رُؤْيَا رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فِي أَبِي بَكْرٍ وَعُمَرَ ؓ قَالَ «رَأَيْتُ النَّاسَ اجْتَمَعُوا فَقَامَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَنَزَعَ ذَنُوبًا أَوْ ذَنُوبَيْنِ وَفِي نَزْعِهِ ضِعْفٌ وَاللهُ يَغْفِرُ لَهُ ثُمَّ ابْنُ الْخَطَّابِ فَاسْتَحَالَتْ غَرْبًا وَمَا رَأَيْتُ عَبْقَرِيًّا مِنَ النَّاسِ يَفْرِي فَرِيَّهُ حَتَّى ضَرَبَ النَّاسُ بِعَطَنٍ» فَقَالَ حَجَّاجٌ قُلْتُ لِابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ مَا اسْتَحَالَ؟ قَالَ رَجَعَ قُلْتُ مَا الْعَبْقَرِيُّ؟ قَالَ الْأَجِيرُ  

I heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "While I was sleeping, I saw that a cup full of milk was brought to me and I drank of it and gave the remaining of it to ʿUmar bin Al-Khattab." They asked. What have you interpreted (about the dream)? O Messenger of Allah ﷺ?" The Prophet ﷺ said. "(It is Religious) knowledge." (Using translation from Bukhārī 7032)   

سَمِعْنَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «بَيْنَا أَنَا نَائِمٌ أُتِيتُ بِقَدَحٍ فَشَرِبْتُ مِنْهُ ثُمَّ أَعْطَيْتُ فَضْلِي عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ» قَالُوا فَمَا أَوَّلْتَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ «الْعِلْمُ» خَالَفَهُ مَعْمَرٌ  

While I was asleep I saw (in a dream) a cup containing milk being presented to me. I took out of that until I perceived freshness being reflected through my nails. Then I presented the leftover to 'Umar b. Khattab. They said: Messenger of Allah: How do you interpret it? He said: This implies knowledge. (Using translation from Muslim 2391a)   

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ يُحَدِّثُ يَقُولُ «بَيْنَا أَنَا نَائِمٌ رَأَيْتُنِي أُتِيتُ بِقَدَحٍ فَشَرِبْتُ مِنْهُ حَتَّى إِنِّي لَأَرَى الرِّيَّ يَجْرِي فِي أَظْفَارِي ثُمَّ أَعْطَيْتُ فَضْلِي عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ» قَالُوا فَمَا ذَلِكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ «الْعِلْمُ»  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ was presented with two cups one containing wine and the other milk on the night of his night journey at Jerusalem. He looked at it and took the milk. Gabriel said, "Thanks to Allah Who guided you to the Fitra (i.e. Islam); if you had taken the wine, your followers would have gone astray. (Using translation from Bukhārī 4709)   

أُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَيْلَةَ أُسْرِيَ بِهِ إِلَى إِيلِيَاءَ بِقَدَحَيْنِ خَمْرٍ وَلَبَنٍ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهَا ثُمَّ أَخَذَ اللَّبَنَ فَقَالَ لَهُ جِبْرِيلُ الْحَمْدُ لِلَّهِ الَّذِي هَدَاكَ لِلْفِطْرَةِ لَوْ أَخَذْتَ الْخَمْرَ غَوَتْ أُمَّتُكَ  

“A man came to the Prophet ﷺ, upon his return from Uhud, and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, in my dream I saw a cloud giving shade, from which drops of ghee and honey were falling, and I saw people collecting them in the palms of their hands, some gathering a lot and some a little. And I saw a rope reaching up into heaven, and I saw you take hold of it and rise with it. Then another man took hold of it after you rose with it, then another man took hold of it after him and rose with it. Then a man took hold of it after him and it broke, then it was reconnected and he rose with it.’ Abu Bakr said: ‘Let me interpret it, O Messenger of Allah.’ He said: ‘Interpret it.’ He said: ‘As for the cloud giving shade, it is Islam, and the drops of honey and ghee that fall from it (represent) the Qur’an with its sweetness and softness. As for the people collecting that in their palms, some learn a lot of the Qur’an and some learn a little. As for the rope reaching up into heaven, it is the truth that you are following; you took hold of it and rose with it, then another man till take hold of it after you and rise with you, then another, who will rise with it, then another, but it will break and then he reconnected, then he will rise with it.’ He said: ‘You have got some of it right and some of it wrong.’ Abu Bakr said: ‘I adjure you O Messenger of Allah, tell me what I got right and what I got wrong.’ The Prophet ﷺ said: ‘Do not swear, O Abu Bakr.”* (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3918)   

أَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ رَجُلٌ مُنْصَرَفَهُ مِنْ أَحِدٍ فَقَالَ إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ فِي الْمَنَامِ كَأَنَّ ظُلَّةً تَنْطُفُ سَمْنًا وَعَسَلًا فَرَأَيْتُ النَّاسَ يَتَكَفَّفُونَ مِنْهُ فَالْمُسْتَقِلُّ وَالْمُسْتَكْثِرُ وَرَأَيْتُ سَبَبًا وَاصِلًا إِلَى السَّمَاءِ أَخَذْتَ بِهِ فَعَلَوْتَ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ بِهِ بَعْدَكَ آخَرُ فَعَلَا ثُمَّ أَخَذَ بِهِ بَعْدَهُ آخَرُ فَعَلَا ثُمَّ أَخَذَ بِهِ بَعْدَهُ آخَرُ فَانْقَطَعَ ثُمَّ وُصِلَ لَهُ فَعَلَا قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ دَعْنِي أَعْبُرْهَا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ قَالَ «أَعْبُرْهَا» قَالَ أَمَّا الظُّلَّةُ فَهِيَ الْإِسْلَامُ وَأَمَّا مَا يَنْطُفُ مِنَ السَّمْنِ وَالْعَسَلِ فَهُوَ الْقُرْآنُ حَلَاوَتُهُ وَلِينُهُ فَالْمُسْتَقِلُّ وَالْمُسْتَكْثِرُ وَأَمَّا السَّبَبُ الْوَاصِلُ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ فَهُوَ الَّذِي أَنْتَ عَلَيْهِ مِنَ الْحَقُّ أَخَذْتَ بِهِ فَعَلَوْتَ ثُمَّ أَخَذَ بِهِ بَعْدَكَ آخَرُ فَعَلَا ثُمَّ أَخَذَ بِهِ بَعْدَهُ آخَرُ فَعَلَا ثُمَّ أَخَذَ بِهِ آخَرُ فَانْقَطَعَ فَوُصِلَ لَهُ فَعَلَا هَلْ أَصَبْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَمْ أَخْطَأْتُ؟ فَقَالَ «أَصَبْتَ بَعْضًا وَأَخْطَأْتَ بَعْضًا» قَالَ أَقْسَمْتُ؟ قَالَ «لَا تُقْسِمْ» [112] 7594 أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ كَانَ أَحْيَانًا يَقُولُ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ وَأَحْيَانًا يَقُولُ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ وَسَاقَ الْحَدِيثَ  

I heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "While I was sleeping, I was given a bowl full of milk (in a dream), and I drank of it to my fill until I noticed its wetness coming out of my nails, and then I gave the rest of it to ʿUmar." They (the people) asked, "What have you interpreted (about the dream)? O Allah's Apostle?" He said, "(It is Religious) knowledge." (Using translation from Bukhārī 7006)   

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «بَيْنَا أَنَا نَائِمٌ أُتِيتُ بِقَدَحٍ لِي فَشَرِبْتُ مِنْهُ حَتَّى إِنِّي لَأَرَى الرِّيَّ يَجْرِي بَيْنَ أَظْفَارِي فَأَعْطَيْتُ فَضْلِي عُمَرَ» قَالَ مَنْ حَوْلَهُ مَا أَوَّلْتَ ذَلِكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ «الْعِلْمُ»  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ was presented with two cups one containing wine and the other milk on the night of his night journey at Jerusalem. He looked at it and took the milk. Gabriel said, "Thanks to Allah Who guided you to the Fitra (i.e. Islam); if you had taken the wine, your followers would have gone astray. (Using translation from Bukhārī 4709)   

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ يَقُولُ أُتِيَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ لَيْلَةَ أُسْرِيَ بِهِ بِقَدَحَيْنِ مِنْ خَمْرٍ وَلَبَنٍ فَنَظَرَ إِلَيْهِمَا ثُمَّ أَخَذَ اللَّبَنَ فَقَالَ جِبْرِيلُ هُدِيتَ لِلْفِطْرَةِ لَوْ أَخَذْتَ الْخَمْرَ غَوْتَ أُمَّتُكَ  

The Prophet ﷺ said: One night it seemed to me in a dream that we were in the house of Uqbah ibn Rafi' and were brought some of the fresh dates of Ibn tab. I interpreted it as meaning that to us is granted eminence (rif'ah) in this world, a blessed hereafter ('aqibah), and that our religion has been good (tabah). (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 5025)  

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «رَأَيْتُ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ فِيمَا يَرَى النَّائِمُ كَأَنَّا فِيُ دَارِ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ رَافِعٍ وَأُتِينَا بِرُطَبٍ مِنْ رُطَبِ ابْنِ طَابَ فَأَوَّلْتُ الرِّفْعَةَ لَنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا وَالْعَاقِبَةَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ وَأَنَّ دِينِنَا قَدْ طَابَ»  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "While I was sleeping I saw (in a dream) some people wearing shirts of which some were reaching up to the breasts only while others were even shorter than that. Umar bin Al-Khattab was shown wearing a shirt that he was dragging." The people asked, "How did you interpret it? (What is its interpretation) O Messenger of Allah ﷺ?" He (the Prophet ﷺ ) replied, "It is the Religion." (Using translation from Bukhārī 23)   

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «بَيْنَا أَنَا نَائِمٌ رَأَيْتُ النَّاسَ يُعْرَضُونَ عَلَيَّ وَعَلَيْهِمْ قُمُصٌ مِنْهَا مَا يَبْلُغُ الثُّدِيَّ وَمِنْهَا مَا يَبْلُغُ دُونَ ذَلِكَ عَرَضَ عَلَيَّ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ وَعَلَيْهِ قَمِيصٌ يَجُرُّهُ» قُلْتُ فَمَا أَوَّلْتَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ «الدِّينُ»  

[Machine] "It is as if he has a stolen treasure in his hand, which does not indicate anything from Paradise except that it flies towards him. So, I told it to Hafsa, and Hafsa told it to the Prophet ﷺ, he said, 'Indeed, Abdullah is a righteous man.'"  

كَأَنَّ بِيَدِهِ سَرَقَةً مِنْ إِسْتَبْرَقٍ لَا يُشِيرُ بِهَا إِلَى شَيْءٍ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ إِلَّا طَارَتْ إِلَيْهِ فَقَصَصْتُهَا عَلَى حَفْصَةَ فَقَصَّتْهَا حَفْصَةُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «إِنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ رَجُلٌ صَالِحٌ»  

[Machine] The Prophet ﷺ consulted the people on the day of Uhud and said, "I saw in a dream that I was wearing a fortified shield and a cow was being slaughtered and sold. I interpreted the shield as Medina, and the cow as a group of people. By Allah, it is better if you fight them in the outskirts of the city, so that the women throw stones at them from above the walls." They said, "They will enter the city as no one has ever entered before, but we will go out to fight them." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Then may it be as you wish." They regretted their decision and said, "We revoke our opinion and adhere to the Prophet's ﷺ advice." So they went to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, what is your opinion?" He replied, "It is not fitting for a Prophet to wear armor for his people and then take it off until he fights."  

اسْتَشَارَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ النَّاسَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ فَقَالَ «إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ فِيمَا يَرَى النَّائِمُ كَأَنِّي لَفِي دِرْعٍ حَصِينَةٍ وَكَأَنَّ بَقَرًا تُنْحَرُ وَتُبَاعُ فَفَسَّرْتُ الدِّرْعَ الْمَدِينَةَ وَالْبَقَرَ نَفَرًا وَاللهُ خَيْرٌ فَلَوْ قَاتَلْتُمُوهُمْ فِي السِّكَكِ فَرَمَاهُمُ النِّسَاءُ مِنْ فَوْقِ الْحِيطَانِ» قَالُوا فَيَدْخُلُونَ عَلَيْنَا الْمَدِينَةَ مَا دُخِلَتْ عَلَيْنَا قَطُّ وَلَكِنْ نُخْرُجُ إِلَيْهِمْ قَالَ «فَشَأْنُكُمْ إِذًا» قَالَ ثُمَّ نَدِمُوا فَقَالُوا رَدَدْنَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ رَأْيَهُ فَأَتَوَا النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ رَأْيُكَ فَقَالَ مَا كَانَ لِنَبِيٍّ أَنْ يَلْبَسَ لَأْمَتَهُ ثُمَّ يَضَعُهَا حَتَّى يُقَاتِلَ  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "While I was sleeping, two golden bangles were put in my two hands, so I got scared (frightened) and disliked it, but I was given permission to blow them off, and they flew away. I interpret it as a symbol of two liars who will appear." 'Ubaidullah said, "One of them was Al-ʿAnsi who was killed by Fairuz at Yemen and the other was Musailama (at Najd) . (Using translation from Bukhārī 7034)   

عَنْ رُؤْيَا رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ الَّتِي ذَكَرَ فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ ذُكِرَ لِي أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ بَيْنَا أَنَا نَائِمٌ أُرِيتُ أَنَّهُ وُضِعَ فِي يَدَيَّ سِوَارَانِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ فَفَظَعْتُهُمَا وَكَرِهْتُهُمَا فَأُذِنَ لِي فَنَفَخْتُهُمَا فَطَارَا فَأَوَّلْتُهُمَا كَذَّابَيْنِ يَخْرُجَانِ فَقَالَ عُبَيْدُ اللهِ أَحَدُهُمَا الْعَنْسِيُّ الَّذِي قَتَلَهُ فَيْرُوزُ بِالْيَمَنِ وَالْآخَرُ مُسَيْلِمَةُ  

"I had a dream while sleeping as if there were two gold bracelets in my hands which bothered me very much. So it was reveled to me to blow them off. I blew them off and they flew away. I interpreted thwm to be two liars who would appear after me. One of them caled Masalamah of Yamamah, and (the other) Al-'ansi of San'a'." (sahih) (Using translation from Tirmidhī 2292)   

أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ «بَيْنَا أَنَا نَائِمٌ رَأَيْتُ فِي يَدِي سِوَارَيْنِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ فَأَهَمَّنِي شَأْنُهُمَا فَأَوْحَى اللهُ إِلَيَّ فِي الْمَنَامِ أَنْفُخُهُمَا فَنَفَخْتُهُمَا فَطَارَا فَأَوَّلْتُهُمَا كَذَّابَيْنِ يَخْرُجَانِ بَعْدِي» وَكَانَ أَحَدُهُمَا الْعَنْسِيَّ صَاحِبَ صَنْعَاءَ وَالْآخَرُ مُسَيْلِمَةُ صَاحِبُ الْيَمَامَةِ  

The Prophet ﷺ said, "In a dream I saw myself migrating from Mecca to a place having plenty of date trees. I thought that it was Al-Yamama or Hajar, but it came to be Medina i.e. Yathrib. In the same dream I saw myself moving a sword and its blade got broken. It came to symbolize the defeat which the Muslims suffered from, on the Day of Uhud. I moved the sword again, and it became normal as before, and that was the symbol of the victory Allah bestowed upon Muslims and their gathering together. I saw cows in my dream, and by Allah, that was a blessing, and they symbolized the believers on the Day of Uhud. And the blessing was the good Allah bestowed upon us and the reward of true belief which Allah gave us after the day of Badr. (Using translation from Bukhārī 3622)  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «رَأَيْتُ فِي الْمَنَامِ أَنِّي أُهَاجِرُ إِلَى أَرْضٍ بِهَا نَخْلٌ فَذَهَبَ وَهَلِي أَنَّهَا الْيَمَامَةَ أَوْ هَجَرُ فَإِذَا هِيَ الْمَدِينَةُ يَثْرِبُ وَرَأَيْتُ فِي رُؤْيَايَ هَذِهِ أَنِّي هَزَزْتُ سَيْفًا فَانْقَطَعَ صَدْرُهُ فَإِذَا هُوَ مَا أُصِيبَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَوْمَ أُحدٍ ثُمَّ هَزَزْتُهُ بِأُخْرَى فَعَادَ أَحْسَنَ مَا كَانَ فَإِذَا هُوَ مَا جَاءَ اللهُ بِهِ مِنَ الْفَتْحِ وَاجْتِمَاعِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَرَأَيْتُ فِيهَا بَقَرًا وَاللهُ خَيْرٌ فَإِذَا هُمُ النَّفَرُ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ وَإِذَا الْخَيْرُ مَا جَاءَنَا اللهُ بِهِ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ بَعْدُ وَثَوَابُ الصِّدْقِ الَّذِي كَانَ بَعْدَ يَوْمِ بَدْرٍ»  

concerning the dream of the Prophet ﷺ in Medina: The Prophet ﷺ said, "I saw (in a dream) a black woman with unkempt hair going out of Medina and settling at Mahai'a. I interpreted that as (a symbol of) the epidemic of Medina being transferred to Mahai'a, namely, Al-Juhfa." (Using translation from Bukhārī 7039)   

عَنْ رُؤْيَةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ امْرَأَةً سَوْدَاءَ ثَائِرَةَ الرَّأْسِ قَدْ خَرَجَتْ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ حَتَّى نَزَلَتْ بِمَهْيَعَةَ وَهِيَ الْجُحْفَةُ فَأَوَّلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّ وَبَاءَ الْمَدِينَةِ قَدْ نُقِلَ إِلَى الْجُحْفَةِ  

The Prophet ﷺ said, "If anyone of you sees a dream that he likes, then it is from Allah, and he should thank Allah for it and narrate it to others; but if he sees something else, i.e., a dream that he dislikes, then it is from Satan, and he should seek refuge with Allah from its evil, and he should not mention it to anybody, for it will not harm him." (Using translation from Bukhārī 6985)  

أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «إِذَا رَأَى أَحَدُكُمُ الرُّؤْيَا يُحِبُّهَا فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ مِنَ اللهِ فَلْيَحْمَدِ اللهَ عَلَيْهَا وَلْيُحَدِّثْ بِهَا وَإِنْ رَأَى غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ مِمَّا يَكْرَهُ فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ فَلْيَسْتَعِذْ بِاللهِ مِنْ شَرِّهَا وَلَا يَذْكُرْهَا لِأَحَدٍ فَإِنَّهَا لَا تَضُرُّهُ»  

“If anyone of you sees a dream that he dislikes, let him spit dryly to his left three times and seek refuge with Allah from Satan three times, and turn over onto his other side.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3908)  

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِذَا رَأَى أَحَدُكُمُ الرُّؤْيَا يَكْرَهُهَا فَلْيَبْصُقْ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ ثَلَاثًا وَلْيَسْتَعِذْ بِاللهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ ثَلَاثًا وَلْيَتَحَوَّلْ عَنْ جَنْبِهِ الَّذِي كَانَ عَلَيْهِ»  

[Machine] Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ, he said, "Good dreams are from Allah and nightmares are from Shaytan. A person can interpret their own dreams. So, if any one of you sees a dream that they dislike, let them stand up and offer prayers, and disliked indulgence in sleep, and I like fetters (binding). For verily, fetters are a steadfastness in religion."  

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ كَانَ يَقُولُ «الرُّؤْيَا الصَّالِحَةُ بِشَارَةٌ مِنَ اللهِ وَالتَّحْزِينُ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ وَمِنَ الرُّؤْيَا يُحَدِّثُ بِهِ الرَّجُلُ نَفْسَهُ فَإِذَا رَأَى أَحَدُكُمْ رُؤْيَا يَكْرَهُهَا فَلْيَقُمْ فَلْيُصَلِّ وَأَكْرَهُ الْغُلَّ فِي النَّوْمِ وَيُعْجِبُنِي الْقَيْدُ فَإِنَّ الْقَيْدَ ثُبَاتٌ فِي الدِّينِ»  

I heard the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) say: A good vision comes from Allah and a dream (hulm) from the devil, so when one of you sees what he dislikes, he must spit on his left (three times), and seek refuge in Allah from its evil. It will then not harm him. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 5021)   

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «الرُّؤْيَا مِنَ اللهِ وَالْحِلْمُ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ فَإِذَا رَأَى أَحَدُكُمْ شَيْئًا يَكْرَهُهُ فَلْيَنْفِثْ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ وَلْيَسْتَعِذْ بِاللهِ مِنْ شَرِّهَا فَإِنَّهَا لَا تَضُرُّهُ»  

“If anyone of you has a bad dream, he should not tell people about how Satan played with him in his dream.” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3913)   

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «إِذَا حَلَمَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلَا يُخْبِرْ أَحَدًا بِتَلَعُّبِ الشَّيْطَانِ بِهِ فِي الْمَنَامِ»  

There came to him (the Holy Prophet) a desert Arab and said: I saw in a dream that I had been beheaded and I had been following it (the severed head). Allah's Apostle ﷺ reprimanded him saying: Do not inform about the vain sporting of devil with you during the night. (Using translation from Muslim 2268c)   

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لِأَعْرَابِيٍّ جَاءَهُ فَقَالَ إِنِّي حَلُمْتُ أَنَّ رَأْسِي قُطِعَ فَزَجَرَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ قَالَ «لَا تُخْبِرْ بِتَلَعُّبِ الشَّيْطَانِ فِي الْمَنَامِ»  

Messenger of Allah ﷺ very often used to ask his companions, "Did anyone of you see a dream?" So dreams would be narrated to him by those whom Allah wished to tell. One morning the Prophet ﷺ said, "Last night two persons came to me (in a dream) and woke me up and said to me, 'Proceed!' I set out with them and we came across a man lying down, and behold, another man was standing over his head, holding a big rock. Behold, he was throwing the rock at the man's head, injuring it. The rock rolled away and the thrower followed it and took it back. By the time he reached the man, his head returned to the normal state. The thrower then did the same as he had done before. I said to my two companions, 'Subhan Allah! Who are these two persons?' They said, 'Proceed!' So we proceeded and came to a man lying flat on his back and another man standing over his head with an iron hook, and behold, he would put the hook in one side of the man's mouth and tear off that side of his face to the back (of the neck) and similarly tear his nose from front to back and his eye from front to back. Then he turned to the other side of the man's face and did just as he had done with the other side. He hardly completed this side when the other side returned to its normal state. Then he returned to it to repeat what he had done before. I said to my two companions, 'Subhan Allah! Who are these two persons?' They said to me, 'Proceed!' So we proceeded and came across something like a Tannur (a kind of baking oven, a pit usually clay-lined for baking bread)." I think the Prophet ﷺ said, "In that oven there was much noise and voices." The Prophet ﷺ added, "We looked into it and found naked men and women, and behold, a flame of fire was reaching to them from underneath, and when it reached them, they cried loudly. I asked them, 'Who are these?' They said to me, 'Proceed!' And so we proceeded and came across a river." I think he said, ".... red like blood." The Prophet ﷺ added, "And behold, in the river there was a man swimming, and on the bank there was a man who had collected many stones. Behold, while the other man was swimming, he went near him. The former opened his mouth and the latter (on the bank) threw a stone into his mouth whereupon he went swimming again. He returned and every time the performance was repeated. I asked my two companions, 'Who are these (two) persons?' They replied, 'Proceed! Proceed!' And we proceeded till we came to a man with a repulsive appearance, the most repulsive appearance, you ever saw a man having! Beside him there was a fire and he was kindling it and running around it. I asked my companions, 'Who is this (man)?' They said to me, 'Proceed! Proceed!' So we proceeded till we reached a garden of deep green dense vegetation, having all sorts of spring colors. In the midst of the garden there was a very tall man and I could hardly see his head because of his great height, and around him there were children in such a large number as I have never seen. I said to my companions, 'Who is this?' They replied, 'Proceed! Proceed!' So we proceeded till we came to a majestic huge garden, greater and better than I have ever seen! My two companions said to me, 'Go up' and I went up. The Prophet ﷺ added, "So we ascended till we reached a city built of gold and silver bricks and we went to its gate and asked (the gatekeeper) to open the gate, and it was opened and we entered the city and found in it, men with one side of their bodies as handsome as the handsomest person you have ever seen, and the other side as ugly as the ugliest person you have ever seen. My two companions ordered those men to throw themselves into the river. Behold, there was a river flowing across (the city), and its water was like milk in whiteness. Those men went and threw themselves in it and then returned to us after the ugliness (of their bodies) had disappeared and they became in the best shape." The Prophet ﷺ further added, "My two companions (angels) said to me, 'This place is the Eden Paradise, and that is your place.' I raised up my sight, and behold, there I saw a palace like a white cloud! My two companions said to me, 'That (palace) is your place.' I said to them, 'May Allah bless you both! Let me enter it.' They replied, 'As for now, you will not enter it, but you shall enter it (one day). I said to them, 'I have seen many wonders tonight. What does all that mean which I have seen?' They replied, 'We will inform you: As for the first man you came upon whose head was being injured with the rock, he is the symbol of the one who studies the Qur'an and then neither recites it nor acts on its orders, and sleeps, neglecting the enjoined prayers. As for the man you came upon whose sides of mouth, nostrils and eyes were torn off from front to back, he is the symbol of the man who goes out of his house in the morning and tells so many lies that it spreads all over the world. And those naked men and women whom you saw in a construction resembling an oven, they are the adulterers and the adulteresses. And the man whom you saw swimming in the river and given a stone to swallow, is the eater of usury (Riba). And the bad looking man whom you saw near the fire kindling it and going round it, is Malik, the gatekeeper of Hell. And the tall man whom you saw in the garden, is Abraham and the children around him are those children who die with Al-Fitra (the Islamic Faith). The narrator added: Some Muslims asked the Prophet, "O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! What about the children of pagans?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "And also the children of pagans." The Prophet ﷺ added, "My two companions added, 'The men you saw half handsome and half ugly were those persons who had mixed an act that was good with another that was bad, but Allah forgave them.'" (Using translation from Bukhārī 7047)   

كَانَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ مِمَّا يُكْثِرُ أَنْ يَقُولَ لِأَصْحَابِهِ «هَلْ رَأَى أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ رُؤْيَا؟» قَالَ فَيُقَصُّ عَلَيْهِ مَا شَاءَ اللهُ أَنْ يُقَصَّ قَالَ وَإِنَّهُ قَالَ لَنَا ذَاتَ غَدَاةٍ أَتَانِي اللَّيْلَةَ آتِيَانِ وَإِنَّهُمَا ابْتَعَثَانِي وَإِنَّهُمَا قَالَا لِي انْطَلِقْ وَإِنِّي انْطَلَقْتُ مَعَهُمَا وَإِنَّا أَتَيْنَا عَلَى رَجُلٍ مُضْطَجِعٍ وَإِذَا آخَرُ قَائِمٌ عَلَيْهِ بِصَخْرَةٍ وَإِذَا هُوَ يَهْوِي بِالصَّخْرَةِ لِرَأْسِهِ فَيَثْلُغَ رَأْسَهُ فَيَتَدَهْدُهُ الْحَجَرُ هَاهُنَا فَيَتْبَعُ الْحَجَرَ فَيَأْخُذُهُ فَمَا يَرْجِعُ إِلَيْهِ حَتَّى يَصِحَّ رَأْسُهُ كَمَا كَانَ ثُمَّ يَعُودُ إِلَيْهِ فَيَفْعَلُ بِهِ مِثْلَ مَا فَعَلَ بِالْمَرَّةِ الْأُولَى قُلْتُ لَهُمَا سُبْحَانَ اللهِ مَا هَذَانِ؟ قَالَا لِي انْطَلِقِ انْطَلِقْ فَانْطَلَقْتُ فَأَتَيْنَا عَلَى رَجُلٍ مُسْتَلْقٍ لِقَفَاهُ وَإِذَا آخَرُ قَائِمٌ عَلَيْهِ بِكَلُّوبٍ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ وَإِذَا هُوَ يَأْتِي أَحَدَ شِقَّيْ وَجْهِهِ فَيُشَرْشِرُ شِدْقَهُ إِلَى قَفَاهُ ثُمَّ يَتَحَوَّلُ إِلَى الْجَانِبِ الْآخَرِ فَيَفْعَلُ بِهِ مِثْلَ مَا فَعَلَ الْمَرَّةَ الْأُولَى قُلْتُ سُبْحَانَ اللهِ مَا هَذَا؟ قَالَا لِي انْطَلِقِ انْطَلِقْ فَانْطَلَقْنَا فَأَتَيْنَا عَلَى مِثْلِ بِنَاءِ التَّنُّورِ فَاطَّلَعْنَا فِيهِ فَإِذَا رِجَالٌ وَنِسَاءٌ عُرَاةٌ وَإِذَا هُمْ يَأْتِيهِمْ لَهَبٌ مِنْ أَسْفَلَ فَإِذَا أَتَاهُمْ ذَلِكَ اللهَبُ ضَوْضَوْا قُلْتُ لَهُمَا مَا هَؤُلَاءِ؟ قَالَا لِي انْطَلِقِ انْطَلِقْ فَانْطَلَقْتُ فَأَتَيْنَا عَلَى نَهْرٍ فَإِذَا فِي النَّهْرِ رَجُلٌ سَابِحٌ وَإِذَا عَلَى شَطِّ النَّهَرِ رَجُلٌ قَدْ جَمَعَ عِنْدَهُ حِجَارَةً كَثِيرَةً فإذا ذَلِكَ السَّابِحُ يَسْبَحُ مَا سَبَحَ ثُمَّ يَأْتِي الَّذِي قَدْ جَمَعَ عِنْدَهُ الْحِجَارَةَ فَيَفْغَرُ لَهُ فَاهُ فَيُلْقِمَهُ حَجَرًا قُلْتُ لَهُمَا مَا هَذَانِ؟ قَالَا لِي انْطَلِقِ انْطَلِقْ فَانْطَلَقْنَا فَأَتَيْنَا عَلَى رَجُلٍ كَرِيهِ الْمَرْآةِ كَأَكْرَهِ مَا أَنْتَ رَاءٍ رَجُلًا وَإِذَا هُوَ عِنْدَ نَارٍ لَهُ يَحُشُّهَا وَيَسْعَى حَوْلَهَا قُلْتُ لَهُمَا مَا هَذَانِ؟ قَالَا لِي انْطَلِقِ انْطَلِقْ فَانْطَلَقْنَا فَأَتَيْنَا عَلَى رَوْضَةٍ فَإِذَا بَيْنَ ظَهْرَيِ الرَّوْضَةِ رَجُلٌ طَوِيلٌ لَا أَكَادُ أَرَى رَأْسَهُ طُولًا فِي السَّمَاءِ [121] وَإِذَا حَوْلَ الرَّجُلِ مِنْ أَكْثَرِ وِلْدَانٍ رَأَيْتُهُمْ قَطُّ قَالَ فَانْطَلَقْنَا فَأَتَيْنَا عَلَى دَوْحَةٍ عَظِيمَةٍ لَمْ أَرَ دَوْحَةً قَطُّ أَعْظَمَ مِنْهَا وَلَا أَحْسَنَ قَالَا لِي ارْقَ فِيهَا فَارْتَقَيْنَا فَانْتَهَيْنَا إِلَى مَدِينَةٍ مَبْنِيَّةٍ بِلَبِنٍ ذَهَبٍ وَلَبِنٍ فِضَّةٍ فَأَتَيْنَا بَابَ الْمَدِينَةِ فاستفتحنا فَفُتِحَ لَنَا فَدَخَلْنَاهَا فَتَلَقَّانَا فِيهَا رِجَالٌ شَطْرٌ كَأَحْسَنِ مَا أَنْتَ رَاءٍ وَشَطْرٌ كَأَقْبَحِ مَا أَنْتَ رَاءٍ قَالَا لَهُمْ اذْهَبُوا فَقَعُوا فِي ذَلِكَ النَّهْرِ وَإِذَا نَهْرٌ مُعْتَرِضٌ يَجْرِي كَأَنَّ مَاءَهُ الْمَحْضُ فِي الْبَيَاضِ فَذَهَبُوا فَوَقَعُوا فِيهِ ثُمَّ رَجَعُوا إِلَيْنَا قَدْ ذَهَبَ ذَلِكَ السَّوْءُ عَنْهُمْ وَصَارُوا فِي أَحْسَنِ صُورَةٍ قَالَا لِي هَذِهِ جَنَّةُ عَدْنٍ وَهَذَاكَ مَنْزِلُكَ قُلْتُ لَهُمَا بَارَكَ اللهُ فِيكُمَا ذَرَانِي فَأَدْخُلُهُ قَالَا لِي أَمَّا الْآنَ فَلَا وَأَنْتَ دَاخِلُهُ قُلْتُ لَهُمَا فَإِنِّي قَدْ رَأَيْتُ مُنْذُ اللَّيْلَةِ عَجَبًا فَمَا هَذَا الَّذِي رَأَيْتُ؟ قَالَا لِي أَمَا إِنَّا سَنُخْبِرُكَ أَمَّا الرَّجُلُ الْأَوَّلُ الَّذِي أَتَيْتَ عَلَيْهِ يُثْلَغُ رَأْسُهُ بِالْحَجَرِ فَهُوَ الرَّجُلُ يَأْخُذُ الْقُرْآنَ وَيَنَامُ عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ الْمَكْتُوبَةِ وَأَمَّا الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي يُشَرْشَرُ شِدْقُهُ إِلَى قَفَاهُ وَعَيْنُهُ إِلَى قَفَاهُ وَمِنْخَرُهُ إِلَى قَفَاهُ ذَاكَ الرَّجُلُ يَغْدُو مِنْ بَيْتِهِ فَيَكْذِبُ الْكَذْبَةَ تَبْلُغُ الْآفَاقَ وَأَمَّا الرِّجَالُ وَالنِّسَاءُ الْعُرَاةُ الَّذِينَ فِي مِثْلِ التَّنُّورِ فَهُمُ الزُّنَاةُ وَالزَّوَانِي وَأَمَّا الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي فِي النَّهْرِ يَسْبَحُ وَيُلْقَمُ الْحِجَارَةَ فَاهُ فَهُوَ آكِلُ الرِّبَا وَأَمَّا الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي عِنْدَ الْبَابِ الْكَرِيهِ الْمَرْآةِ فَهُوَ مَالِكٌ خَازِنُ جَهَنَّمَ وَأَمَّا الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي فِي الرَّوْضَةِ الطَّوِيلُ فَإِنَّهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ وَأَمَّا الْوِلْدَانُ الَّذِينَ حَوْلَهُ فَكُلُّ مَوْلُودٍ مَاتَ عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ فَقَالَ بَعْضُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أَوْلَادُ الْمُشْرِكِينَ؟ قَالَ «وَأَوْلَادُ الْمُشْرِكِينَ وَأَمَّا الْقَوْمُ الَّذِينَ كَانَ شَطْرٌ مِنْهُمُ قَبِيحًا فَإِنَّهُمْ قَوْمٌ خَلَطُوا عَمَلًا صَالِحًا وَآخَرَ سَيِّئًا فَتَجَاوَزَ اللهُ عَنْهُمْ»
