أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ الْمَرْوَزِيُّ، قَالَ أَنْبَأَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ، - هُوَ ابْنُ جَعْفَرٍ - قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ سُحَيْمٍ، عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ مَعْبَدِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ كَشَفَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم السِّتْرَ وَرَأْسُهُ مَعْصُوبٌ فِي مَرَضِهِ الَّذِي مَاتَ فِيهِ فَقَالَ " اللَّهُمَّ قَدْ بَلَّغْتُ - ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ - إِنَّهُ لَمْ يَبْقَ مِنْ مُبَشِّرَاتِ النُّبُوَّةِ إِلاَّ الرُّؤْيَا الصَّالِحَةُ يَرَاهَا الْعَبْدُ أَوْ تُرَى لَهُ أَلاَ وَإِنِّي قَدْ نُهِيتُ عَنِ الْقِرَاءَةِ فِي الرُّكُوعِ وَالسُّجُودِ فَإِذَا رَكَعْتُمْ فَعَظِّمُوا رَبَّكُمْ وَإِذَا سَجَدْتُمْ فَاجْتَهِدُوا فِي الدُّعَاءِ فَإِنَّهُ قَمِنٌ أَنْ يُسْتَجَابَ لَكُمْ " .
‘Ali ibn Hujr al-Marwazi reported to us; he said: Isma‘il—namely, Ibn Ja‘far—narrated to us; he said: Sulayman ibn Suhaym narrated to us, from Ibrahim ibn ‘Abdullah ibn Ma‘bad ibn ‘Abbas, from his father, from ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Abbas, who said: The Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) drew aside the curtain during the illness in which he died, with his head bandaged, and said: ‘O Allah, I have delivered the message’—three times. ‘Nothing remains of the glad tidings of prophethood except a righteous dream that a person sees or that is seen for him. Indeed, I have been forbidden to recite during bowing and prostration. When you bow, glorify your Lord; and when you prostrate, earnestly supplicate, for it is likely to be answered.’
Translation notes
The Arabic says that a righteous dream may be seen by the servant or seen for him (يَرَاهَا الْعَبْدُ أَوْ تُرَى لَهُ). قَمِنٌ أَنْ يُسْتَجَابَ لَكُمْ expresses that the supplication is likely/deserving to be answered.
