Q
What significance do dreams hold in Islamic tradition and how were they treated during the Prophet’s time?
A
In the lifetime of the Prophet (ﷺ) whosoever saw a dream would narrate it to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ). I had a wish
of seeing a dream to narrate it to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) (p.b.u.h) I was a grown up boy and used to sleep in
the Mosque in the lifetime of the Prophet. I saw in the dream that two angels caught hold of me and
took me to the Fire which was built all round like a built well and had two poles in it and the people in
it were known to me. I started saying, “I seek refuge with Allah from the Fire.” Then I met another
angel who told me not to be afraid. I narrated the dream to Hafsa who told it to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ). The
Prophet said, “Abdullah is a good man. I wish he prayed Tahajjud.” After that `Abdullah (i.e. Salim’s
father) used to sleep but a little at night.
