[Machine] That the Messenger of Allah ﷺ saw in his sleep two angels. One of them sat at his feet and the other at his head. The one at his feet said to the one at his head, "Give me an example like this and an example of his nation." He said, "Verily, the example of him and his nation is like a group of travelers who ended up at a place where they needed provisions to cut and provisions to return with. While they were in that situation, a man who was wearing a green garment came to them and said, 'Do you follow me if I lead you to green pastures and lush gardens?' They said, 'Yes.' So he led them to green pastures and lush gardens, and they ate, drank, and became healthy. Then he said to them, 'Did I not lead you in this condition?' They said, 'Yes.' Then he said, 'What if I were to lead you to green pastures and lush gardens, would you follow me?' They said, 'Yes.' Then a group of them said, 'By Allah, we will follow him,' and another group said, 'We are pleased with it and will adhere to it.'"
أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ أَتَاهُ فِيمَا يَرَى النَّائِمُ الْمَلَكَانِ فَقَعَدَ أَحَدُهُمَا عِنْدَ رِجْلَيْهِ وَالْآخَرُ عِنْدَ رَأْسِهِ فَقَالَ الَّذِي عِنْدَ رِجْلَيْهِ لِلَّذِي عِنْدَ رَأْسِهِ اضْرِبْ مَثَلَ هَذَا وَمَثَلَ أُمَّتِهِ قَالَ إِنَّ مَثَلَ هَذَا وَمَثَلَ أُمَّتِهِ كَمَثَلِ قَوْمٍ سَفْرٍ انْتَهَوْا إِلَى رَأْسِ مَفَازَةٍ فَلَمْ يَكُنْ مَعَهُمْ مِنَ الزَّادِ مَا يَقْطَعُونَ بِهِ الْمَفَازَةَ وَلَا مَا يَرْجِعُونَ بِهِ فَبَيْنَمَا هُمْ كَذَلِكَ إِذْ أَتَاهُمْ رَجُلٌ عَلَيْهِ حُلَّةٌ حِبَرَةٌ فَقَالَ أَرَأَيْتُمْ إِنْ وَرَدْتُ بِكُمْ رِيَاضًا مُعْشِبَةً وَحِيَاضًا رَوَاءً أَتَتَّبِعُونِي؟ قَالُوا نَعَمْ فَانْطَلَقَ بِهِمْ فَأَوْرَدَهُمْ رِيَاضًا مُعْشِبَةً وَحِيَاضًا رَوَاءً فَأَكَلُوا وَشَرِبُوا وَأَسْمَنُوا فَقَالَ لَهُمْ أَلَمْ أَلْفَكُمْ عَلَى تِلْكَ الْحَالِ؟ قَالُوا بَلَى فَجَعَلْتُمْ إِنْ وَرَدْتُ بِكُمْ رِيَاضًا مُعْشِبَةً وَحِيَاضًا رَوَاءً أَنْ تَتَّبِعُونِي؟ قَالُوا نَعَمْ فَقَالَتْ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْهُمْ صَدَقَ وَاللهِ لَنَتَّبِعَنَّهُ وَقَالَتْ طَائِفَةٌ مِنْهُمْ قَدْ رَضِينَاهَا نُقِيمُ عَلَيْهَا
