I was sitting in a gathering in which there was Sa`d bin Malik and Ibn `Umar. `Abdullah bin Salam
passed in front of them and they said, "This man is from the people of Paradise." I said to `Abdullah
bin Salam, "They said so-and-so." He replied, "Subhan Allah! They ought not to have said things of
which they have no knowledge, but I saw (in a dream) that a post was fixed in a green garden. At the
top of the post there was a handhold and below it there was a servant. I was asked to climb (the post).
So I climbed it till I got hold of the handhold." Then I narrated this dream to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). Allah's
Apostle said, "`Abdullah will die while still holding the firm reliable handhold (i.e., Islam).

Chapter 20: Removing the veil of a woman in a dream - كتاب التعبير
Narrated `Aisha:
حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ بْنُ إِسْمَاعِيلَ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ ـ رضى الله عنها ـ قَالَتْ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم
" أُرِيتُكِ فِي الْمَنَامِ مَرَّتَيْنِ، إِذَا رَجُلٌ يَحْمِلُكِ فِي سَرَقَةِ حَرِيرٍ فَيَقُولُ هَذِهِ امْرَأَتُكَ. فَأَكْشِفُهَا فَإِذَا هِيَ أَنْتِ فَأَقُولُ إِنْ يَكُنْ هَذَا مِنْ عِنْدِ اللَّهِ يُمْضِهِ ".
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said (to me), "You were shown to me twice in (my) dream. Behold, a man was
carrying you in a silken piece of cloth and said to me, "She is your wife, so uncover her,' and behold,
it was you. I would then say (to myself), 'If this is from Allah, then it must happen.' "
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said to me, "You were shown to me twice (in my dream) before I married you. I saw
an angel carrying you in a silken piece of cloth, and I said to him, 'Uncover (her),' and behold, it was
you. I said (to myself), 'If this is from Allah, then it must happen.' Then you were shown to me, the
angel carrying you in a silken piece of cloth, and I said (to him), 'Uncover (her), and behold, it was
you. I said (to myself), 'If this is from Allah, then it must happen.' "
I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying, "I have been sent with Jawami al-Kalim (i.e., the shortest expression carrying the widest meanings), and I was made victorious with awe (cast into the hearts of the enemy), and while I was sleeping, the keys of the treasures of the earth were brought to me and were put in my hand."
Muhammad said, Jawami'-al-Kalim means that Allah expresses in one or two statements or thereabouts the numerous matters that used to be written in the books revealed before (the coming of) the Prophet.
(In a dream) I saw myself in a garden, and there was a pillar in the middle of the garden, and there was
a handhold at the top of the pillar. I was asked to climb it. I said, "I cannot." Then a servant came and
lifted up my clothes and I climbed (the pillar), and then got hold of the handhold, and I woke up while
still holding it. I narrated that to the Prophet (ﷺ) who said, "The garden symbolizes the garden of Islam,
and the handhold is the firm Islamic handhold which indicates that you will be adhering firmly to
Islam until you die."

Chapter 25: Al-Istabraq and entering Paradise (in a dream) - كتاب التعبير
Narrated Ibn `Umar:
حَدَّثَنَا مُعَلَّى بْنُ أَسَدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا وُهَيْبٌ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ـ رضى الله عنهما ـ قَالَ رَأَيْتُ فِي الْمَنَامِ كَأَنَّ فِي يَدِي سَرَقَةً مِنْ حَرِيرٍ لاَ أَهْوِي بِهَا إِلَى مَكَانٍ فِي الْجَنَّةِ إِلاَّ طَارَتْ بِي إِلَيْهِ، فَقَصَصْتُهَا عَلَى حَفْصَةَ. فَقَصَّتْهَا حَفْصَةُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ " إِنَّ أَخَاكِ رَجُلٌ صَالِحٌ ". أَوْ قَالَ " إِنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ رَجُلٌ صَالِحٌ ".
I saw in a dream a piece of silken cloth in my hand, and in whatever direction in Paradise I waved it, it
flew, carrying me there. I narrated this (dream) to (my sister) Hafsa and she told it to the Prophet (ﷺ) who
said, (to Hafsa), "Indeed, your brother is a righteous man," or, "Indeed, `Abdullah is a righteous man."
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "When the Day of Resurrection approaches, the dreams of a believer will hardly
fail to come true, and a dream of a believer is one of forty-six parts of prophetism, and whatever
belongs to prothetism can never be false." Muhammad bin Seereen said, "But I say this." He said, "It
used to be said, 'There are three types of dreams: The reflection of one's thoughts and experiences one
has during wakefulness, what is suggested by Satan to frighten the dreamer, or glad tidings from
Allah. So, if someone has a dream which he dislikes, he should not tell it to others, but get up and
offer a prayer." He added, "He (Abu Huraira) hated to see a Ghul (i.e., iron collar around his neck in a
dream) and people liked to see fetters (on their feet in a dream). The fetters on the feet symbolizes
one's constant and firm adherence to religion." And Abu `Abdullah said, "Ghuls (iron collars) are used
only for necks."

Um Al-`Ala an Ansari woman who had given the Pledge of allegiance to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said,
"`Uthman bin Maz'un came in our share when the Ansars drew lots to distribute the emigrants (to
dwell) among themselves, He became sick and we looked after (nursed) him till he died. Then we
shrouded him in his clothes. Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) came to us, I (addressing the dead body) said, "May
Allah's Mercy be on you, O Aba As-Sa'ib! I testify that Allah has honored you." The Prophet (ﷺ) said,
'How do you know that?' I replied, 'I do not know, by Allah.' He said, 'As for him, death has come to
him and I wish him all good from Allah. By Allah, though I am Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), I neither know what
will happen to me, nor to you.'" Um Al-`Ala said, "By Allah, I will never attest the righteousness of
anybody after that." She added, "Later I saw in a dream, a flowing spring for `Uthman. So I went to
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) and mentioned that to him. He said, 'That is (the symbol of) his good deeds (the
reward for) which is going on for him.' "
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "(I saw in a dream that) while I was standing at a well and drawing water
therefrom, suddenly Abu Bakr and `Umar came to me. Abu Bakr took the bucket and drew one or two
buckets (full of water), but there was weakness in his pulling, but Allah forgave him. Then Ibn Al-
Khattab took the bucket from Abu Bakr's hand and the bucket turned into a very large one in his hand.
I have never seen any strong man among the people doing such a hard job as `Umar did, till (the
people drank to their satisfaction) and water their camels to their fill and they sat near the water."
about the Prophet's dream in which he has seen Abu Bakr and `Umar: 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."
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "While I was sleeping, I saw myself standing at a well over which there was a
bucket. I pulled out from it as many buckets of water as Allah wished, and then Ibn Abi Quhafa (Abu
Bakr) took the bucket from me and pulled out one or two full buckets, and there was weakness in his
pull--may Allah forgive him. Then the bucket turned into a very large one and `Umar bin Al-Khattab
took it. I have never seen any strong man among the people, drawing water with such strength as
`Umar did, till the people (drank to their satisfaction and) watered their camels to their fill; whereupon
the camels sat beside the water."

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنْ هَمَّامٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ يَقُولُ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم
" بَيْنَا أَنَا نَائِمٌ رَأَيْتُ أَنِّي عَلَى حَوْضٍ أَسْقِي النَّاسَ، فَأَتَانِي أَبُو بَكْرٍ فَأَخَذَ الدَّلْوَ مِنْ يَدِي لِيُرِيحَنِي، فَنَزَعَ ذَنُوبَيْنِ وَفِي نَزْعِهِ ضَعْفٌ وَاللَّهُ يَغْفِرُ لَهُ، فَأَتَى ابْنُ الْخَطَّابِ فَأَخَذَ مِنْهُ، فَلَمْ يَزَلْ يَنْزِعُ، حَتَّى تَوَلَّى النَّاسُ وَالْحَوْضُ يَتَفَجَّرُ ".
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "While I was sleeping, I saw myself standing over a tank (well) giving water to
the people to drink. Then Abu Bakr came to me and took the bucket from me in order to relieve me
and he pulled out one or two full buckets, and there was weakness in his pulling --may Allah forgive
him. Then Ibn Al-Khattab took it from him and went on drawing water till the people left (after being
satisfied) while the tank was over flowing with water."
We were sitting with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ), he said, "While I was sleeping, I saw myself in Paradise.
Suddenly I saw a woman performing ablution beside a palace. I asked, "For whom is this palace?"
They (the angels) replied, "It is for `Umar bin Al-Khattab." Then I remembered `Umar's ghira and
went back hurriedly." On hearing that, `Umar started weeping and said, " Let my father and mother be
sacrificed for you. O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! How dare I think of my Ghira being offended by you?
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said: (I saw in a dream that) I entered Paradise, and behold, there was a palace built of
gold! I asked, 'For whom is this palace?' They (the angels) replied, 'For a man from the Quraish.' " The
Prophet added, "O Ibn Al-Khattab! Nothing stopped me from entering it except your Ghira." `Umar
said, "How dare I think of my Ghira being offended by you, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)?"
We were sitting with Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) he said, "While I was sleeping, I saw myself in Paradise, and
behold, a woman was performing ablution by the side of a palace. I asked, 'For whom is this palace?'
They replied, 'For `Umar' Then I remembered the Ghira of `Umar and returned immediately." `Umar
wept (on hearing that) and said, " Let my father and mother be sacrificed for you, O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)!
How dare I think of my Ghira being offended by you.'
Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "While I was sleeping, I saw myself performing the Tawaf of the Ka`ba. Behold,
there I saw a whitish-red lank-haired man (holding himself) between two men with water dropping
from his hair. I asked, 'Who is this?' The people replied, 'He is the son of Mary.' Then I turned my face
to see another man with red complexion, big body, curly hair, and blind in the right eye which looked
like a protruding out grape. I asked, 'Who is he?' They replied, 'He is Ad-Dajjal.' Ibn Qatan resembles
him more than anybody else among the people and Ibn Qatan was a man from Bani Al-Mustaliq from
Khuza`a."
I heard Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) saying, "While I was sleeping, I saw a bowl full of milk was brought to me
and I drank of it (to my fill) till I noticed its wetness flowing (in my body). Then I gave the remaining
of it to `Umar." They asked, "O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)! What have you interpreted (about the dream)? He
said, "(It is Religious) knowledge." (See Hadith No. 134)

Men from the companions of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) used to see dreams during the lifetime of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)
and they used to narrate those dreams to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) would interpret them as
Allah wished. I was a young man and used to stay in the mosque before my wedlock. I said to myself,
"If there were any good in myself, I too would see what these people see." So when I went to bed one
night, I said, "O Allah! If you see any good in me, show me a good dream." So while I was in that
state, there came to me (in a dream) two angels. In the hand of each of them, there was a mace of iron,
and both of them were taking me to Hell, and I was between them, invoking Allah, "O Allah! I seek
refuge with You from Hell." Then I saw myself being confronted by another angel holding a mace of
iron in his hand. He said to me, "Do not be afraid, you will be an excellent man if you only pray more
often." So they took me till they stopped me at the edge of Hell, and behold, it was built inside like a
well and it had side posts like those of a well, and beside each post there was an angel carrying an iron
mace. I saw therein many people hanging upside down with iron chains, and I recognized therein
some men from the Quraish. Then (the angels) took me to the right side. I narrated this dream to (my
sister) Hafsa and she told it to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said, "No doubt, `Abdullah is a good
man." (Nafi` said, "Since then `Abdullah bin `Umar used to pray much.)

فَزَعَمَتْ حَفْصَةُ أَنَّهَا قَصَّتْهَا عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ

I was a young unmarried man during the lifetime of the Prophet. I used to sleep in the mosque.
Anyone who had a dream, would narrate it to the Prophet. I said, "O Allah! If there is any good for me
with You, then show me a dream so that Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) may interpret it for me." So I slept and saw
(in a dream) two angels came to me and took me along with them, and they met another angel who
said to me, "Don't be afraid, you are a good man." They took me towards the Fire, and behold, it was
built inside like a well, and therein I saw people some of whom I recognized, and then the angels took
me to the right side. In the morning, I mentioned that dream to Hafsa. Hafsa told me that she had
mentioned it to the Prophet (ﷺ) and he said, "`Abdullah is a righteous man if he only prays more at night."
(Az-Zuhri said, "After that, `Abdullah used to pray more at night.")

and I drank of it and gave the remaining of it to `Umar bin Al-Khattab." They asked. What have you
interpreted (about the dream)? O Allah's Messenger (ﷺ)?" The Prophet (ﷺ) said. "(It is Religious) knowledge."
Allah's Messenger (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-`Ansi
who was killed by Fairuz at Yemen and the other was Musailama (at Najd) .
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "I saw in a dream that I was migrating from Mecca to a land where there were date
palm trees. I thought that it might be the land of Al-Yamama or Hajar, but behold, it turned out to be
Yathrib (i.e. Medina). And I saw cows (being slaughtered) there, but the reward given by Allah is
better (than worldly benefits). Behold, those cows proved to symbolize the believers (who were killed)
on the Day (of the battle) of Uhud, and the good (which I saw in the dream) was the good and the
reward and the truth which Allah bestowed upon us after the Badr battle. (or the Battle of Uhud) and
that was the victory bestowed by Allah in the Battle of Khaibar and the conquest of Mecca) .

Resurrection)." Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) further said, ''While sleeping, I was given the treasures of the world
and two golden bangles were put in my hands, but I felt much annoyed, and those two bangles
distressed me very much, but I was inspired that I should blow them off, so I blew them and they flew
away. Then I interpreted that those two bangles were the liars between whom I was (i.e., the one of
San`a' and the one of Yamama).

Chapter 41: If one sees in a dream that he takes something and places it at another place - كتاب التعبير
Narrated `Abdullah:
حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، حَدَّثَنِي أَخِي عَبْدُ الْحَمِيدِ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ بِلاَلٍ، عَنْ مُوسَى بْنِ عُقْبَةَ، عَنْ سَالِمِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صلى الله عليه وسلم قَالَ
" رَأَيْتُ كَأَنَّ امْرَأَةً سَوْدَاءَ ثَائِرَةَ الرَّأْسِ، خَرَجَتْ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ، حَتَّى قَامَتْ بِمَهْيَعَةَ ـ وَهْىَ الْجُحْفَةُ ـ فَأَوَّلْتُ أَنَّ وَبَاءَ الْمَدِينَةِ نُقِلَ إِلَيْهَا ".
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.e., Al-Juhfa. I interpreted that as a symbol of epidemic of Medina being
transferred to that place (Al-Juhfa).
