Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, “We (Muslims) are the last (to come) but (will be) the foremost (on the Day of
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).

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) .

I heard Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) saying, “While I was sleeping, I saw that a cup full of milk was brought to me
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.”

I asked Ibn Abbas about the dream of Allah’s Messenger which he mentioned.(see following hadith)

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.)

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.”)

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)

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)?”
