Tag: Q n A, Bukhari

(a companion of the Prophet (ﷺ) and one of his cavalry men) “I heard Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) saying, “A good
dream is from Allah, and a bad dream is from Satan; so, if anyone of you had a bad dream which he
disliked, then he should spit on his left and seek refuge with Allah from it, for it will not harm him.”

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.

Um Al-`Ala an Ansari woman who had given a pledge of allegiance to Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) told me:, “The
Muhajirln (emigrants) were distributed amongst us by drawing lots, and we got `Uthman bin Maz’un
in our share. We made him stay with us in our house. Then he suffered from a disease which proved
fatal. When he died and was given a bath and was shrouded in his clothes. Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) came, I
said, (addressing the dead body), ‘O Aba As-Sa’ib! May Allah be Merciful to you! I testify that Allah
has honored you.’ Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, ‘How do you know that Allah has honored him?” I replied, ‘Let
my father be sacrificed for you, O Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ)! On whom else shall Allah bestow. His honor?’
Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) said, ‘As for him, by Allah, death has come to him. By Allah, I wish him all good
(from Allah). By Allah, in spite of the fact that I am Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ), I do not know what Allah will do
to me.”, Um Al-`Ala added, “By Allah, I will never attest the righteousness of anybody after that.”

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.’”

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.

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Who ever sees me (in a dream) then he indeed has seen the truth, as Satan cannot
appear in my shape.”

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “I have been given the keys of eloquent speech and given victory with awe (cast
into the hearts of the enemy), and while I was sleeping last night, the keys of the treasures of the earth
were brought to me till they were put in my hand.” Abu Huraira added: Allah’s Messenger (ﷺ) left (this
world) and now you people are carrying those treasures from place to place.

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “A good dream is from Allah, and a bad dream is from Satan. So whoever has seen
(in a dream) something he dislikes, then he should spit without saliva, thrice on his left and seek refuge
with Allah from Satan, for it will not harm him, and Satan cannot appear in my shape.”

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, “Whoever sees me (in a dream) then he indeed has seen the truth .”

I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, “Whoever sees me in a dream will see me in his wakefulness, and Satan
cannot imitate me in shape.” Abu `Abdullah said, “Ibn Seereen said, ‘Only if he sees the Prophet (ﷺ) in his
(real) shape.’”
