It was narrated from Jabir that a Bedouin came to the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) and said: “I dream that my head was cut off and I was chasing it. The Prophet (s.a.w) rebuked him and said: ‘Do not speak of how the Shaitan toyed with you in your sleep.”’

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا لَيْثٌ (ح) وَحَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ رُمْحٍ ، أَخْبَرَنَا اللَّيْثُ ، عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ لأَعْرَابِيٍّ جَاءَهُ فَقَالَ: إِنِّي حَلَمْتُ أَنَّ رَأْسِي قُطِعَ فَأَنَا أَتَّبِعُهُ ، فَزَجَرَهُ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَقَالَ: لاَ تُخْبِرْ بِتَلَعُّبِ الشَّيْطَانِ بِكَ فِي الْمَنَامِ.

It was narrated that Jabir said: “A Bedouin came to the Prophet (s.a.w) and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, I saw in a dream as if my head was cut off and it rolled away and I was chasing it.’ The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said to the Bedouin: ‘Do not tell people of how the Shaitan toyed with you in your sleep.”’ He said: “I heard the Prophet (s.a.w) after that, delivering a Khutbah and saying: ‘None of you should speak of how the Shaitan toyed with him in his sleep.”’

وَحَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ، قَالَ : جَاءَ أَعْرَابِيٌّ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، رَأَيْتُ فِي الْمَنَامِ كَأَنَّ رَأْسِي ضُرِبَ فَتَدَحْرَجَ فَاشْتَدَدْتُ عَلَى أَثَرِهِ ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِلأَعْرَابِيِّ : لاَ تُحَدِّثِ النَّاسَ بِتَلَعُّبِ الشَّيْطَانِ بِكَ فِي مَنَامِكَ وَقَالَ : سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بَعْدُ ، يَخْطُبُ فَقَالَ : لاَ يُحَدِّثَنَّ أَحَدُكُمْ بِتَلَعُّبِ الشَّيْطَانِ بِهِ فِي مَنَامِهِ.

It was narrated that Jabir said: “A Bedouin came to the Prophet (s.a.w) and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, I saw in a dream as if my head was cut off.’ The Prophet (s.a.w) smiled and said: ‘If the Shaitan toys with one of you in his sleep, he should not tell the people about it. According to the report of Abu Bakr (Ibn Abi Shaibah): “If one of you is toyed with,” and he did not mention the Shaitan.

وَحَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ ، وَأَبُو سَعِيدٍ الأَشَجُّ ، قَالاَ : حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ ، عَنِ الأَعْمَشِ ، عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ ، عَنْ جَابِرٍ ، قَالَ: جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، رَأَيْتُ فِي الْمَنَامِ كَأَنَّ رَأْسِي قُطِعَ ، قَالَ: فَضَحِكَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، وَقَالَ: إِذَا لَعِبَ الشَّيْطَانُ بِأَحَدِكُمْ فِي مَنَامِهِ ، فَلاَ يُحَدِّثْ بِهِ النَّاسَ.وَفِي رِوَايَةِ أَبِي بَكْرٍ إِذَا لُعِبَ بِأَحَدِكُمْ وَلَمْ يَذْكُرِ الشَّيْطَانَ.

Ibn ‘Abbas used to narrate that a man came to the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) and said: “O Messenger of Allah, last night I saw in a dream a canopy dripping with ghee and honey, and I saw people collecting it in the palms of their hands, some getting more and some getting less. And I saw a rope connecting heaven and earth. I saw you take hold of it and ascend, then another man took hold of it after you and ascended, then another man took hold of it and ascended, then another man took hold of it but it broke, then it was reconnected and he ascended.” Abu Bakr said: “O Messenger of Allah, may my father be sacrificed for you, by Allah. Let me interpret it.” The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: “Interpret it.” Abu Bakr said: “As for the canopy, it is the canopy if Islam. As for the ghee and honey dripping from it, that is the Qur’an, its sweetness and softness. As for that which the people collected of it, it is the one who learns a great deal of Qur’an and the one who learns a little. As for the rope connecting heaven and earth, it is the Truth that you brought, you adhere to it and Allah raises you thereby. Then another man takes hold of it after you and is raised thereby, then another man takes hold of it and is raised thereby, then another man takes hold of it, then it breaks and it reconnected, and he is raised thereby. Tell me, O Messenger of Allah, may my father and mother be sacrificed for you, am I right or wrong?” The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: “You got some of it right and some of it wrong.” He said: “By Allah, O Messenger of Allah, I adjure you to tell me what I got wrong.” He said: “Do not swear.”

حَدَّثَنَا حَاجِبُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ ، عَنِ الزُّبَيْدِيِّ ، أَخْبَرَنِي الزُّهْرِيُّ ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ ، أَنَّ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ ، أَوْ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ كَانَ يُحَدِّثُ أَنَّ رَجُلاً أَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ (ح) وحَدَّثَنِي حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى التُّجِيبِيُّ ، وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ ، أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ ، أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ أَنَّ عُبَيْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ أَخْبَرَهُ ، أَنَّ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ كَانَ يُحَدِّثُ ، أَنَّ رَجُلاً أَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، إِنِّي أَرَى اللَّيْلَةَ فِي الْمَنَامِ ظُلَّةً تَنْطِفُ السَّمْنَ وَالْعَسَلَ ، فَأَرَى النَّاسَ يَتَكَفَّفُونَ مِنْهَا بِأَيْدِيهِمْ ، فَالْمُسْتَكْثِرُ وَالْمُسْتَقِلُّ ، وَأَرَى سَبَبًا وَاصِلاً ، مِنَ السَّمَاءِ إِلَى الأَرْضِ ، فَأَرَاكَ أَخَذْتَ بِهِ فَعَلَوْتَ ، ثُمَّ أَخَذَ بِهِ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَعْدِكَ فَعَلاَ ، ثُمَّ أَخَذَ بِهِ رَجُلٌ آخَرُ فَعَلاَ ، ثُمَّ أَخَذَ بِهِ رَجُلٌ آخَرُ فَانْقَطَعَ بِهِ ، ثُمَّ وُصِلَ لَهُ فَعَلاَ.قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، بِأَبِي أَنْتَ ، وَاللَّهِ لَتَدَعَنِّي فَلأَعْبُرَنَّهَا ، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : اعْبُرْهَا قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ : أَمَّا الظُّلَّةُ فَظُلَّةُ الإِسْلاَمِ ، وَأَمَّا الَّذِي يَنْطِفُ مِنَ السَّمْنِ وَالْعَسَلِ فَالْقُرْآنُ حَلاَوَتُهُ وَلِينُهُ ، وَأَمَّا مَا يَتَكَفَّفُ النَّاسُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَالْمُسْتَكْثِرُ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ وَالْمُسْتَقِلُّ ، وَأَمَّا السَّبَبُ الْوَاصِلُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ إِلَى الأَرْضِ فَالْحَقُّ الَّذِي أَنْتَ عَلَيْهِ ، تَأْخُذُ بِهِ فَيُعْلِيكَ اللَّهُ بِهِ ، ثُمَّ يَأْخُذُ بِهِ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَعْدِكَ فَيَعْلُو بِهِ ، ثُمَّ يَأْخُذُ بِهِ رَجُلٌ آخَرُ فَيَعْلُو بِهِ ، ثُمَّ يَأْخُذُ بِهِ رَجُلٌ آخَرُ فَيَنْقَطِعُ بِهِ ثُمَّ يُوصَلُ لَهُ فَيَعْلُو بِهِ ، فَأَخْبِرْنِي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، بِأَبِي أَنْتَ ، أَصَبْتُ أَمْ أَخْطَأْتُ ؟ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : أَصَبْتَ بَعْضًا وَأَخْطَأْتَ بَعْضًا قَالَ : فَوَاللَّهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ، لَتُحَدِّثَنِّي مَا الَّذِي أَخْطَأْتُ ؟ قَالَ لاَ تُقْسِمْ.

It was narrated that Anas bin Malik said: “The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: ‘One night in a dream I saw myself in the house of ‘Uqbah bin Rafi’. We were brought some fresh Ibn Tab dates. I interpreted it as high status in this word and a good ending in the Hereafter, and that our religion is perfected.”’

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ مَسْلَمَةَ بْنِ قَعْنَبٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ الْبُنَانِيِّ ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: رَأَيْتُ ذَاتَ لَيْلَةٍ ، فِيمَا يَرَى النَّائِمُ ، كَأَنَّا فِي دَارِ عُقْبَةَ بْنِ رَافِعٍ ، فَأُتِينَا بِرُطَبٍ مِنْ رُطَبِ ابْنِ طَابٍ ، فَأَوَّلْتُ الرِّفْعَةَ لَنَا فِي الدُّنْيَا، وَالْعَاقِبَةَ فِي الآخِرَةِ ، وَأَنَّ دِينَنَا قَدْ طَابَ.

‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar narrated that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: “I saw myself in a dream using a Siwak, and two men competed to take it from me, one of whom was older than the other. The younger one got it from me, and it was said to me: ‘Give it to the older one.’ So I gave it to the older one.”

وَحَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ الْجَهْضَمِيُّ ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبِي ، حَدَّثَنَا صَخْرُ بْنُ جُوَيْرِيَةَ ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ ، أَنَّ عَبْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عُمَرَ ، حَدَّثَهُ أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: أَرَانِي فِي الْمَنَامِ أَتَسَوَّكُ بِسِوَاكٍ ، فَجَذَبَنِي رَجُلاَنِ ، أَحَدُهُمَا أَ كْبَرُ مِنَ الآخَرِ ، فَنَاوَلْتُ السِّوَاكَ الأَصْغَرَ مِنْهُمَا ، فَقِيلَ لِي: كَبِّرْ ، فَدَفَعْتُهُ إِلَى الأَكْبَرِ.

It was narrated from Abu Musa that the Prophet (s.a.w) said: “In a dream I saw myself migrating from Makkah to a land in which there were dates palms. I thought that it would by Al-Yamamah or Hajar, but it turned out to be Al-Madinah, Yathrib. And in this dream of mine I saw myself brandishing a sword, the upper part of which was broken. That turned out to be what happened to the believers on the Day of Uhad. Then I brandished it again and it became better than it had before. That turned out be what Allah had brought about of the Conquest (of Makkah) and the unity of the believers. And I also saw some cows, and something that was good from Allah. The cows are the group of believers on the Day of Uhad, and the good is the good that Allah brought about after that, and the reward for sincerity that Allah gave us after that on the Day of Badr.”

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَامِرٍ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ بَرَّادٍ الأَشْعَرِيُّ ، وَأَبُو كُرَيْبٍ مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْعَلاَءِ ، وَتَقَارَبَا فِي اللَّفْظِ ، قَالاَ : حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ ، عَنْ بُرَيْدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي بُرْدَةَ جَدِّهِ ، عَنْ أَبِي مُوسَى ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : رَأَيْتُ فِي الْمَنَامِ أَنِّي أُهَاجِرُ مِنْ مَكَّةَ إِلَى أَرْضٍ بِهَا نَخْلٌ ، فَذَهَبَ وَهْلِي إِلَى أَنَّهَا الْيَمَامَةُ ، أَوْ هَجَرُ ، فَإِذَا هِيَ الْمَدِينَةُ يَثْرِبُ ، وَرَأَيْتُ فِي رُؤْيَايَ هَذِهِ أَنِّي هَزَزْتُ سَيْفًا ، فَانْقَطَعَ صَدْرُهُ ، فَإِذَا هُوَ مَا أُصِيبَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ ، ثُمَّ هَزَزْتُهُ أُخْرَى فَعَادَ أَحْسَنَ مَا كَانَ ، فَإِذَا هُوَ مَا جَاءَ اللَّهُ بِهِ مِنَ الْفَتْحِ وَاجْتِمَاعِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ ، وَرَأَيْتُ فِيهَا أَيْضًا بَقَرًا وَاللَّهُ خَيْرٌ ، فَإِذَا هُمُ النَّفَرُ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ ، وَإِذَا الْخَيْرُ مَا جَاءَ اللَّهُ بِهِ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ بَعْدُ ، وَثَوَابُ الصِّدْقِ الَّذِي آتَانَا اللَّهُ بَعْدَ يَوْمِ بَدْرٍ.

It was narrated that Ibn ‘Abbas said: “The liar Musailimah came to Al-Madinah at the time of the Prophet (s.a.w) and started saying: ‘If Muhammad appoints me as his successor I will follow him.’ He came with a large number of his people, and was met by the Prophet (s.a.w) who had Thabit bin Qais bin Shammas with him, and in the Prophet’s hand was a piece of palm branch. He came and his companions, and said: ‘If you were to ask me for this piece of palm branch I would not give it to you. I will never transgress the Command of Allah with regard to you. If you turn away, Allah will destroy you. I think you are the one concerning whom I was shown something in a dream. This is Thabit; he will answer you on my behalf.’ Then he left.” Ibn ‘Abbas said: “I asked about the words of the Prophet (s.a.w): ‘I think you are the one concerning whom I was shown something in a dream.’ Abu Hurairah told me that the Prophet (s.a.w) said: “While I was sleeping I was two bangles of gold on my arms, and they troubled me. It was revealed to me in my dream that I should blow on them, so I did that, and they flew away. I interpreted them as referring to two liars who will emerge after I am gone. One of them is Al-‘Ansi, the man of San’a’, and the other is Musailimah, the man of Al-Yamamah.”’

حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَهْلٍ التَّمِيمِيُّ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْيَمَانِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي حُسَيْنٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا نَافِعُ بْنُ جُبَيْرٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ ، قَالَ : قَدِمَ مُسَيْلِمَةُ الْكَذَّابُ عَلَى عَهْدِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ الْمَدِينَةَ ، فَجَعَلَ يَقُولُ : إِنْ جَعَلَ لِي مُحَمَّدٌ الأَمْرَ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ تَبِعْتُهُ ، فَقَدِمَهَا فِي بَشَرٍ كَثِيرٍ مِنْ قَوْمِهِ ، فَأَقْبَلَ إِلَيْهِ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَمَعَهُ ثَابِتُ بْنُ قَيْسِ بْنِ شَمَّاسٍ ، وَفِي يَدِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قِطْعَةُ جَرِيدَةٍ ، حَتَّى وَقَفَ عَلَى مُسَيْلِمَةَ فِي أَصْحَابِهِ ، قَالَ : لَوْ سَأَلْتَنِي هَذِهِ الْقِطْعَةَ مَا أَعْطَيْتُكَهَا ، وَلَنْ أَتَعَدَّى أَمْرَ اللهِ فِيكَ ، وَلَئِنْ أَدْبَرْتَ لَيَعْقِرَنَّكَ اللَّهُ ، وَإِنِّي لأُرَاكَ الَّذِي أُرِيتُ فِيكَ مَا أُرِيتُ ، وَهَذَا ثَابِتٌ يُجِيبُكَ عَنِّي ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ عَنْهُ.فَقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ : فَسَأَلْتُ عَنْ قَوْلِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِنَّكَ أَرَى الَّذِي أُرِيتُ فِيكَ مَا أُرِيتُ فَأَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ : بَيْنَا أَنَا نَائِمٌ رَأَيْتُ فِي يَدَيَّ سِوَارَيْنِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ ، فَأَهَمَّنِي شَأْنُهُمَا ، فَأُوحِيَ إِلَيَّ فِي الْمَنَامِ أَنِ انْفُخْهُمَا ، فَنَفَخْتُهُمَا فَطَارَا، فَأَوَّلْتُهُمَا كَذَّابَيْنِ يَخْرُجَانِ مِنْ بَعْدِي ، فَكَانَ أَحَدُهُمَا الْعَنْسِيَّ صَاحِبَ صَنْعَاءَ ، وَالآخَرُ مُسَيْلِمَةَ صَاحِبَ الْيَمَامَةِ.

Ma’mar narrated that Hammam bin Munabbih said: “This is what Abu Hurairah narrated to us from the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w).” He narrated a number of Ahadith, including the following: “While I was sleeping, the treasures of the earth were brought to me, and two bangles of gold were placed on my arms. They troubled me greatly, then it was revealed to me that I should blow on them, so I blew on them and they were gone. I interpreted them as being the two liars between whom I am: the man of San’a’ and the man of Al-Yamamah.”

وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ ، عَنْ هَمَّامِ بْنِ مُنَبِّهٍ ، قَالَ : هَذَا مَا حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَذَكَرَ أَحَادِيثَ مِنْهَا ، وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : بَيْنَا أَنَا نَائِمٌ أُتِيتُ خَزَائِنَ الأَرْضِ , فَوَضَعَ فِي يَدَيَّ أُسْوَارَيْنِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ ، فَكَبُرَا عَلَيَّ وَأَهَمَّانِي ، فَأُوحِيَ إِلَيَّ أَنِ انْفُخْهُمَا فَنَفَخْتُهُمَا فَذَهَبَا ، فَأَوَّلْتُهُمَا الْكَذَّابَيْنِ اللَّذَيْنِ أَنَا بَيْنَهُمَا : صَاحِبَ صَنْعَاءَ ، وَصَاحِبَ الْيَمَامَةِ.

It was narrated that Samurah bin Jundab said: “When the Prophet (s.a.w) had prayed Subh, he would turn towards them (i.e., the people praying with him) and say: ‘Did any one of you see a dream last night?”’

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا وَهْبُ بْنُ جَرِيرٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبِي ، عَنْ أَبِي رَجَاءٍ الْعُطَارِدِيِّ ، عَنْ سَمُرَةَ بْنِ جُنْدَبٍ ، قَالَ : كَانَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا صَلَّى الصُّبْحَ أَقْبَلَ عَلَيْهِمْ بِوَجْهِهِ فَقَالَ : هَلْ رَأَى أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمُ الْبَارِحَةَ رُؤْيَا ؟.
