“A man came to the Prophet (ﷺ)when hewas delivering a sermon and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah! Lastnightin my dream I saw my neck being struck and my head fell off, andIchased it, picked it up and put it back.’ The Messenger of Allah(ﷺ) said: ‘If Satan plays with any one of you in his dreams, heshould not tell people about it.’”

“Ifanyone of you has a bad dream, he should not tell people about howSatan played with him in his dream.”

“Dreamsare attached to the foot of a bird* until they areinterpreted, thenwhen they are interpreted they come to pass.” Hesaid: “Anddreams are one of the forty-six parts of prophecy.” He (thenarrator) said: “And I think he said: ‘(A person) should not tellthemexcept to one whom he loves or one who is wise.’”

“Interpret them (dreams) in accordance with the names of thethingsyou see, and understand what is hinted at, and the dream is forthefirst interpreter.”

“Whoever tells of a false dream, will be ordered (on the Day ofResurrection) to tie two grains of barley together, and he will bepunished for that.”

“When the end of time draws near, hardly any believer will see afalse dream, and the ones who see the truest dreams will be the oneswho are truest in speech. And the dream of the believer is one of theforty-six parts of prophecy.’”

“A man came to the Prophet(ﷺ),upon his return from Uhud, and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, inmydream I saw a cloud giving shade, from which drops of ghee andhoneywere falling, and I saw people collecting them in the palms oftheirhands, some gathering a lot and some a little. And I saw a ropereaching up into heaven, and I saw you take hold of it and rise withit. Then another man took hold of it after you rose with it, thenanother man took hold of it after him and rose with it. Then a mantook hold of it after him and it broke, then it was reconnected andherose with it.’ Abu Bakr said: ‘Let me interpret it, OMessenger ofAllah.’ He said: ‘Interpret it.’ He said: ‘Asfor the cloud givingshade, it is Islam, and the drops of honey andghee that fall from it(represent) the Qur’an with its sweetnessand softness. As for thepeople collecting that in their palms, somelearn a lot of the Qur’anand some learn a little. As for the ropereaching up into heaven, itis the truth that you are following; youtook hold of it and rose withit, then another man till take hold ofit after you and rise with you,then another, who will rise with it,then another, but it will breakand then he reconnected, then he willrise with it.’ He said: ‘Youhave got some of it right and someof it wrong.’ Abu Bakr said: ‘Iadjure you O Messenger of Allah,tell me what I got right and what Igot wrong.’ The Prophet (ﷺ)said: ‘Do not swear, O Abu Bakr.”*

“I was a young unmarried man atthetime of the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ), and I used to stay overnightinthe mosque. If any of us had seen a dream, he would tell it to theProphet (ﷺ). I said: ‘O Allah, if there is any good in me beforeYou, show me a dream that the Prophet (ﷺ) can interpret for me.’SoI went to sleep and I saw two angels who came to me and took meaway.They were met by another angel who said: ‘Do not be alarmed,’and theytook me to Hell which was built like a well. In it werepeople, someof whom I recognized. Then they took me off to theright. In themorning I mentioned that to Hafsah, and Hafsah saidthat she told theMessenger of Allah (ﷺ) about it, and he said:‘Abdullah is arighteous man, if only he would pray more atnight.’”

“I came to Al-Madinah andsat with some old men in the mosque of the Prophet (ﷺ). Then an oldman came, leaning on his stick, and the people said: ‘Whoever wouldlike to look at a man from among the people of Paradise, let him lookat this man.’ He stood behind a pillar and prayed two Rak’ah. Igot up and went to him, and said to him: ‘Some of the people saidsuch and such.’ He said: ‘Praise is to Allah. Paradise belongs toAllah and He admits whomsoever He wills to it. At the time of theMessenger of Allah (ﷺ) I saw a dream in which a man came to me andsaid: “Let’s go.” So I went with him and he took me along agreat road. A road was shown to me on the left and I wanted to followit, but he said: “You are not one of its people.” Then a road wasshown to me on the right, and I followed him until I reached aslippery mountain. He took me by the hand and helped me up. When Ireached the top I could not stand firm. There was an iron pillarthere with a golden ring at the top. He took my hand and helped me upuntil I reached the handhold, then he said: “Have you gotten a firmhold?” I said: “Yes.” Then he struck the pillar with his footand I held tight to the pillar. I told this to the Prophet (ﷺ) and he said: "You have seen something good. The great road is the plain of gathering (on the Day of Resurrection). The road that you were shown on your left is the way of the people of Hell, and you are not one of its people. The road which you were shown on your right is the way of the people of Paradise. The slippery mountain is the place of the martyrs, and the handhold that you held on tight to is the handhold of Islam. Hold on tight to it until you die." I hope to be one of the people of Paradise,' and he was 'Abdullah bin Salam."

“In adream Isaw myself emigrating from Makkah to a land in which thereweredate-palm trees, and I thought that it was Yamamah or Hajar, butitwas Al-Madinah, Yathrib. And I saw in this dream of mine that I waswielding a sword then it broke in the middle. That was what befellthebelievers on the Day of Uhud. Then I wielded it again and it wasbetter than it had been before, and that is what Allah brought aboutof the Conquest and the regrouping of the believers. And I also sawcows, and by Allah it is good, for they are the group of thebelievers(who were martyred) on the Day of Uhud, and the goodness isthat whichAllah brought forth after that, and the reward of thetruth whichAllah brought us on the Day of Badr.”

“Isaw wristbands of gold on my arms, so I blew into them, and Iinterpreted them as being these two liars, Musailimah and ‘Ansi.”

“Umm Fadl said: ‘O Messenger ofAllah!It is as if I saw (in a dream) one of your limbs in my house.’Hesaid: ‘What you have seen is good. Fatimah will give birth to a boyand you will breastfeed him.’ Fatimah gave birth to Husain orHasan,and I breastfed him with the milk of Qutham.’ She said: ‘Ibrought himto the Prophet (ﷺ) and placed him in his lap, and heurinated, so Istruck him on the shoulder.” The Prophet (ﷺ) said:“You have hurt myson, may Allah have mercy on you.”

He said: “Why are you soamazed at that?” Theysaid: “O Messenger of Allah, the first onewas the one who stroveharder, then he was martyred, but the otherone was admitted toParadise before him.
