Narrated `Aisha: 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.’ ”

Narrated Abu Huraira: 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.

Narrated `Abdullah bin Salam: (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.”

Narrated Ibn `Umar: 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.”

Narrated `Abdullah bin `Umar: Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “I saw myself (in a dream) near the Ka`ba last night, and I saw a man with
whitish red complexion, the best you may see amongst men of that complexion having long hair
reaching his earlobes which was the best hair of its sort, and he had combed his hair and water was
dropping from it, and he was performing the Tawaf around the Ka`ba while he was leaning on two
men or on the shoulders of two men. I asked, ‘Who is this man?’ Somebody replied, ‘(He is) Messiah,
son of Mary.’ Then I saw another man with very curly hair, blind in the right eye which looked like a
protruding out grape. I asked, ‘Who is this?’ Somebody replied, ‘(He is) Messiah, Ad-Dajjal.’”

Narrated Abu Huraira: 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.”

Narrated Ibn `Abbas: About a man who came to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) and said, “I was shown in a dream last night…” Then Ibn
`Abbas mentioned the narration.

Narrated Kharija bin Zaid bin Thabit: 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.’ ”

Narrated Anas bin Malik: Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) used to visit Um Haram bint Milhan she was the wife of ‘Ubada bin As-Samit. One
day the Prophet (ﷺ) visited her and she provided him with food and started looking for lice in his head.
Then Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) slept and afterwards woke up smiling. Um Haram asked, “What makes you
smile, O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)?” He said, “Some of my followers were presented before me in my dream as
fighters in Allah’s Cause, sailing in the middle of the seas like kings on the thrones or like kings sitting
on their thrones.” (The narrator ‘Is-haq is not sure as to which expression was correct). Um Haram
added, ‘I said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! Invoke Allah, to make me one of them;” So Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)
invoked Allah for her and then laid his head down (and slept). Then he woke up smiling (again). (Um
Haram added): I said, “What makes you smile, O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)?” He said, “Some people of my
followers were presented before me (in a dream) as fighters in Allah’s Cause.” He said the same as he
had said before. I said, “O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! Invoke Allah to make me from them.” He said, “You are
among the first ones.” Then Um Haram sailed over the sea during the Caliphate of Muawiya bin Abu
Sufyan, and she fell down from her riding animal after coming ashore, and died.

Narrated Ibn `Umar: 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.”
