When the Messenger of Allah ﷺ finished the dawn prayer, he would ask: Did any of you have a dream last night? And he said: All that is left of Prophecy after me is a good vision.

أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ شُعَيْبٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْنٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ وَالْحَارِثُ بْنُ مِسْكِينٍ قِرَاءَةً عَلَيْهِ عَنِ ابْنِ الْقَاسِمِ وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ عَنْ زُفَرِ بْنِ صَعْصَعَةَ بْنِ مَالِكٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ كَانَ إِذَا انْصَرَفَ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الْغَدَاةِ قَالَ «هَلْ أُرِيَ أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمُ اللَّيْلَةَ رُؤْيَا؟» وَيَقُولُ «إِنَّهُ لَيْسَ يَبْقَى بَعْدِي مِنَ النُّبُوَّةِ إِلَّا الرُّؤْيَا الصَّالِحَةُ»

Muḥammad b. ʿAbdullāh b. al-Mubārak > Abū Hishām > Sulaymān b. al-Mughīrah > Thābit > Anas

The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to be impressed by good dreams and he would say, "Has anyone among you seen a dream? Perhaps a man sees a dream and he asks about it, then when it is praised, it becomes more pleasing to him that he is a righteous man."

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ الْمُبَارَكِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو هِشَامٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ الْمُغِيرَةِ عَنْ ثَابِتٍ عَنْ أَنَسٍ قَالَ

كَانَتْ تُعْجِبُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ الرُّؤْيَا الْحَسَنَةُ وَيَقُولُ «هَلْ رَأَى أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ رُؤْيَا؟ فَرُبَّمَا رَأَى الرَّجُلُ رُؤْيَا فَيَسْأَلُ عَنْهُ فَإِذَا أُثْنِيَ عَلَيْهِ خَيْرًا كَانَ أَعْجَبَ إِلَيْهِ أَنْ يَكُونَ رَجُلًا صَالِحًا»

ʿAlī b. Ḥujr > Ismāʿīl > Sulaymān b. Suḥaym > Ibrāhīm b. ʿAbdullāh b. Maʿbad b. ʿAbbās from his father > ʿAbdullāh b. ʿAbbās

"The Messenger of Allah ﷺ drew aside the curtain when he had a cloth wrapped around his head during his final illness, and said: 'O Allah, I have conveyed (the Message)' three times. 'There is nothing left of the features of Prophethood except a good dream that a person sees or is seen by others for him. But I have been forbidden to recite the Qur'an when bowing and prostrating, so when you bow, then glorify your Lord and when you prostrate, then strive hard in supplication, for it is more deserving of a response.'"

أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ حُجْرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ بْنُ سُحَيْمٍ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ مَعْبَدِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ

كَشَفَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ السِّتْرَ وَرَأْسُهُ مَعْصُوبٌ فِي مَرَضِهِ الَّذِي مَاتَ فِيهِ قَالَ «اللهُمَّ هَلْ بَلَّغْتُ؟» ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ «إِنَّهُ لَمْ يُبْقِ مِنْ مُبَشِّرَاتِ النُّبُوَّةِ إِلَّا الرُّؤْيَا الصَّالِحَةُ يَرَاهَا الْعَبْدُ أَوْ تُرَى لَهُ أَلَا فَإِنِّي نُهِيتُ عَنِ الْقِرَاءَةِ فِي الرُّكُوعِ وَالسُّجُودِ فَإِذَا رَكَعْتُمْ فَعَظِّمُوا وَإِذَا سَجَدْتُمْ فَاجْتَهِدُوا فِي الدُّعَاءِ فَإِنَّهُ قَمِنٌ أَنْ يُسْتَجَابَ لَكُمْ»

Qutaybah b. Saʿīd > Mālik And al-Ḥārith b. Miskīn > Ibn al-Qāsim > Mālik > Isḥāq b. ʿAbdullāh b. Abū Ṭalḥah > Anas

Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "A good dream (that comes true) of a righteous man is one of forty-six parts of prophetism."

أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ مَالِكٍ وَالْحَارِثِ بْنِ مِسْكِينٍ قِرَاءَةً عَلَيْهِ عَنِ ابْنِ الْقَاسِمِ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ عَنْ إِسْحَاقَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ عَنْ أَنَسٍ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «الرُّؤْيَا الْحَسَنَةُ مِنَ الرَّجُلِ الصَّالِحِ جُزْءٌ مِنْ سِتَّةٍ وَأَرْبَعِينَ جُزْءًا مِنَ النُّبُوَّةِ»

Ismāʿīl b. Masʿūd > Bishr / Ibn al-Mufaḍḍal > Shuʿbah > Qatādah > Anas > ʿUbādah b. al-Ṣāmit

A believer’s vision is the forty-sixth part of Prophecy.

أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْمَاعِيلُ بْنُ مَسْعُودٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرٌ وَهُوَ ابْنُ الْمُفَضَّلِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ عَنْ قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَنَسٍ عَنْ عُبَادَةَ بْنِ الصَّامِتِ قَالَ

قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «رُؤْيَا الْمُسْلِمِ جُزْءٌ مِنْ سِتَّةٍ وَأَرْبَعِينَ جُزْءًا مِنَ النُّبُوَّةِ»

Isḥāq b. Ibrāhīm > Muḥammad b. Bishr > ʿUbaydullāh > Nāfiʿ > Ibn ʿUmar

“The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘A righteous dream is one of the seventy parts of prophecy.’”

أَخْبَرَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بِشْرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عُبَيْدُ اللهِ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «الرُّؤْيَا الصَّالِحَةُ جُزْءٌ مِنْ سَبْعِينَ جُزْءًا»

ʿAlī b. Shuʿayb > Maʿn > Mālik And al-Ḥārith b. Miskīn Qirāʾah > Ibn al-Qāsim > Mālik > Yaḥyá b. Saʿīd > Abū Salamah > Abū Qatādah > ʿAlī

I heard the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) say: A good vision comes from Allah and a dream (hulm) from the devil, so when one of you sees what he dislikes, he must spit on his left (three times), and seek refuge in Allah from its evil. It will then not harm him.

أَخْبَرَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ شُعَيْبٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْنٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكٌ وَالْحَارِثُ بْنُ مِسْكِينٍ قِرَاءَةً عَنِ ابْنِ الْقَاسِمِ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا مَالِكٌ عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا قَتَادَةَ يَقُولُ وَقَالَ عَلِيٌّ

وَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «الرُّؤْيَا فِي حَدِيثِ الْحَارِثِ الصَّالِحَةُ مِنَ اللهِ وَالْحُلُمُ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ فَإِذَا رَأَى أَحَدُكُمُ الشَّيْءَ يَكْرَهُهُ فَلْيَنْفِثْ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ إِذَا اسْتَيْقَظَ وَلْيَتَعَوَّذْ مِنْ شَرَّهَا فَإِنَّهَا لَنْ تَضُرَّهُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ»

Muḥammad b. Salamah And al-Ḥārith b. Miskīn > Ibn al-Qāsim > Mālik > Nāfiʿ > ʿAbdullāh b. ʿUmar

Some men amongst the companions of the Prophet ﷺ were shown in their dreams that the night of Qadr was in the last seven nights of Ramadan. Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "It seems that all your dreams agree that (the Night of Qadr) is in the last seven nights, and whoever wants to search for it (i.e. the Night of Qadr) should search in the last seven (nights of Ramadan).

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ وَالْحَارِثُ بْنُ مِسْكِينٍ قِرَاءَةً عَلَيْهِ عَنِ ابْنِ الْقَاسِمِ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ عَنْ نَافِعٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ

أَنَّ رِجَالًا مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ أُرُوا لَيْلَةَ الْقَدْرِ فِي الْمَنَامِ فِي السَّبْعِ الْأَوَاخِرِ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ «إِنِّي أَرَى رُؤْيَاكُمْ قَدْ تَوَاطَأَتْ فِي السَّبْعِ الْأَوَاخِرِ فَمَنْ كَانَ مُتَحَرِّيَهَا فَلْيَتَحَرَّاهَا فِي السَّبْعِ الْأَوَاخِر»

Qutaybah b. Saʿīd > al-Layth > Abū al-Zubayr > Jābir

“Whoever sees me in a dream has (really) seen me, for Satan cannot appear in my form.”

أَخْبَرَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «مَنْ رَآنِي فِي الْمَنَامِ فَقَدْ رَآنِي لَا يَنْبَغِي لِلشَّيْطَانِ أَنْ يَتَمَثَّلَ فِي صُورَتِي»

Abū Dāwud > ʿUthmān b. ʿUmar > Yūnus > al-Zuhrī > Ibn Khuzaymah from his uncle Akhī Khuzaymah Raʾá Fīmā Yará al-Nāʾim

"He prostrates himself on the Prophet's forehead, so he mentioned that to him, so he laid down for him and said, 'Your vision is true.' Then he prostrated on his forehead."

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عُمَرَ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنِ ابْنِ خُزَيْمَةَ عَنْ عَمِّهِ أَخِي خُزَيْمَةَ رَأَى فِيمَا يَرَى النَّائِمُ

أَنَّهُ يَسْجُدُ عَلَى جَبْهَةِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَاضْطَجَعَ لَهُ وَقَالَ «صَدِّقْ رُؤْيَاكَ» فَسَجَدَ عَلَى جَبْهَتِهِ

Abū Dāwud > ʿAffān > Ḥammād > Abū Jaʿfar > ʿUmārah b. Khuzaymah b. Thābit from his father

"I saw in my dream as if I were prostrating on the forehead of the Prophet ﷺ, so I informed him about that. He said, 'The soul meets the soul.' Then the Prophet ﷺ put his head in this way – 'Affan placed his head backwards – and he placed his forehead on the forehead of the Prophet ﷺ."

أَخْبَرَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ عَنْ عُمَارَةَ بْنِ خُزَيْمَةَ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ أَنَّ أَبَاهُ قَالَ

رَأَيْتُ فِي الْمَنَامِ كَأَنِّي أَسْجُدُ عَلَى جَبْهَةِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَأَخْبَرَهُ بِذَلِكَ فَقَالَ «إِنَّ الرُّوحَ لَيَلْقَى الرُّوحَ» وَاقْتَبَعَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ رَأْسَهُ هَكَذَا قَالَ عَفَّانُ بِرَأْسِهِ إِلَى خَلْفِهِ فَوَضَعَ جَبْهَتَهُ عَلَى جَبْهَةِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ

Muḥammad b. Bashhār > Muḥammad > Shuʿbah > Abū Jaʿfar > ʿUmārah b. ʿUthmān b. Ḥunayf > Khuzaymah b. Thābit

He accepted the Prophet ﷺ, so he approached the Prophet ﷺ and mentioned that to him, so the Prophet ﷺ embraced him and kissed his forehead.

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ عُمَارَةَ بْنَ عُثْمَانَ بْنِ حُنَيْفٍ يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ خُزَيْمَةَ بْنِ ثَابِتٍ «أَنَّهُ رَأَى فِي الْمَنَامِ

أَنَّهُ يُقَبِّلُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَأَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ فَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لَهُ فَنَاوَلَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ فَقَبَّلَ جَبْهَتَهُ»

“I came to Al-Madinah and sat with some old men in the mosque of the Prophet ﷺ. Then an old man came, leaning on his stick, and the people said: ‘Whoever would like to look at a man from among the people of Paradise, let him look at this man.’ He stood behind a pillar and prayed two Rak’ah. I got up and went to him, and said to him: ‘Some of the people said such and such.’ He said: ‘Praise is to Allah. Paradise belongs to Allah and He admits whomsoever He wills to it. At the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ I saw a dream in which a man came to me and said: “Let’s go.” So I went with him and he took me along a great road. A road was shown to me on the left and I wanted to follow it, but he said: “You are not one of its people.” Then a road was shown to me on the right, and I followed him until I reached a slippery mountain. He took me by the hand and helped me up. When I reached the top I could not stand firm. There was an iron pillar there with a golden ring at the top. He took my hand and helped me up until I reached the handhold, then he said: “Have you gotten a firm hold?” I said: “Yes.” Then he struck the pillar with his foot and 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."

أَخْبَرَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا عَفَّانُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ سَلَمَةَ عَنْ عَاصِمِ ابْنِ بَهْدَلَةَ عَنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ بْنِ رَافِعٍ عَنْ خَرَشَةَ بْنِ الْحُرِّ قَالَ

That when the Ansar drew lots as to which of the emigrants should dwell with which of the Ansar, the name of ʿUthman bin Mazun came out (to be in their lot). Um Al-Ala further said, "Uthman stayed with us, and we nursed him when he got sick, but he died. We shrouded him in his clothes, and Allah's Apostle came to our house and I said, (addressing the dead ʿUthman), 'O Abu As-Sa'ib! May Allah be merciful to you. I testify that Allah has blessed you.' The Prophet ﷺ said to me, "How do you know that Allah has blessed him?" I replied, 'I do not know O Messenger of Allah ﷺ! May my parents be sacrificed for you.' Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, 'As regards ʿUthman, by Allah he has died and I really wish him every good, yet, by Allah, although I am Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I do not know what will be done to him.' Um Al- Ala added, 'By Allah I shall never attest the piety of anybody after him. And what Messenger of Allah ﷺs said made me sad." Um Al-Ala further said, "Once I slept and saw in a dream, a flowing stream for ʿUthman. So I went to Messenger of Allah ﷺ and told him about it, he said, 'That is (the symbol of) his deeds."

I heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ saying, "While I was sleeping, I saw myself standing at a well, on it there was a bucket. I drew water from the well as much as Allah wished. Then Ibn Abi Quhafa (i.e. Abu Bakr) took the bucket from me and brought out one or two buckets (of water) and there was weakness in his drawing the water. May Allah forgive his weakness for him. Then the bucket turned into a very big one and Ibn Al-Khattab took it over and I had never seen such a mighty person amongst the people as him in performing such hard work, till the people drank to their satisfaction and watered their camels that knelt down there."

أَخْبَرَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ الْحَكَمِ عَنْ شُعَيْبٍ قَالَ أَخْبَرَنَا اللَّيْثُ عَنِ ابْنِ الْهَادِ عَنْ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنِ سَعْدٍ عَنْ صَالِحِ بْنِ كَيْسَانَ عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ عَنْ سَعِيدِ بْنِ الْمُسَيِّبِ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ

سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «بَيْنَمَا أَنَا نَائِمٌ رَأَيْتُنِي عَلَى قُلَيْبٍ فَنَزَعْتُ مِنْهَا مَا شَاءَ اللهُ ثُمَّ نَزَعَ ابْنُ أَبِي قُحَافَةَ ذَنُوبًا أَوْ ذَنُوبَيْنِ وَفِي نَزْعِهِ ضِعْفٌ وَلْيَغْفِرِ اللهُ لَهُ ثُمَّ اسْتَحَالَتْ غَرْبًا فَلَمْ أَرْ عَبْقَرِيًّا مِنَ النَّاسِ يَنْزِعُ نَزْعَهُ حَتَّى ضَرَبَ النَّاسُ بِعَطَنٍ»

Yūsuf b. Saʿīd > Ḥajjāj > Ibn Jurayj > Mūsá b. ʿUqbah > Sālim b. ʿAbdullāh > ʿAbdullāh b. ʿUmar

about the Prophet's dream in which he has seen Abu Bakr and ʿUmar: The Prophet ﷺ said, "I saw (in a dream) that the people had gathered. Then Abu Bakr stood up and pulled out one or two buckets full of water (from a well) and there was weakness in his pulling -- may Allah forgive him. Then Ibn Al- Khattab stood up, and the bucket turned into a very large one and I have never seen any strong man among the people doing such a hard job. He pulled out so much water that the people (drank to their satisfaction) and watered their camels to their fill, (and then after quenching their thirst) they sat beside the water."

I heard Messenger of Allah 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 ʿUmar bin Al-Khattab." They asked. What have you interpreted (about the dream)? O Messenger of Allah ﷺ?" The Prophet ﷺ said. "(It is Religious) knowledge."

While I was asleep I saw (in a dream) a cup containing milk being presented to me. I took out of that until I perceived freshness being reflected through my nails. Then I presented the leftover to 'Umar b. Khattab. They said: Messenger of Allah: How do you interpret it? He said: This implies knowledge.

“A man came to the Prophet ﷺ, upon his return from Uhud, and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, in my dream I saw a cloud giving shade, from which drops of ghee and honey were falling, and I saw people collecting them in the palms of their hands, some gathering a lot and some a little. And I saw a rope reaching up into heaven, and I saw you take hold of it and rise with it. Then another man took hold of it after you rose with it, then another man took hold of it after him and rose with it. Then a man took hold of it after him and it broke, then it was reconnected and he rose with it.’ Abu Bakr said: ‘Let me interpret it, O Messenger of Allah.’ He said: ‘Interpret it.’ He said: ‘As for the cloud giving shade, it is Islam, and the drops of honey and ghee that fall from it (represent) the Qur’an with its sweetness and softness. As for the people collecting that in their palms, some learn a lot of the Qur’an and some learn a little. As for the rope reaching up into heaven, it is the truth that you are following; you took hold of it and rose with it, then another man till take hold of it after you and rise with you, then another, who will rise with it, then another, but it will break and then he reconnected, then he will rise with it.’ He said: ‘You have got some of it right and some of it wrong.’ Abu Bakr said: ‘I adjure you O Messenger of Allah, tell me what I got right and what I got wrong.’ The Prophet ﷺ said: ‘Do not swear, O Abu Bakr.”*

The Prophet ﷺ said: One night it seemed to me in a dream that we were in the house of Uqbah ibn Rafi' and were brought some of the fresh dates of Ibn tab. I interpreted it as meaning that to us is granted eminence (rif'ah) in this world, a blessed hereafter ('aqibah), and that our religion has been good (tabah).

The Prophet ﷺ consulted the people on the day of Uhud and said, "I saw in a dream that I was wearing a fortified shield and a cow was being slaughtered and sold. I interpreted the shield as Medina, and the cow as a group of people. By Allah, it is better if you fight them in the outskirts of the city, so that the women throw stones at them from above the walls." They said, "They will enter the city as no one has ever entered before, but we will go out to fight them." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Then may it be as you wish." They regretted their decision and said, "We revoke our opinion and adhere to the Prophet's ﷺ advice." So they went to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, what is your opinion?" He replied, "It is not fitting for a Prophet to wear armor for his people and then take it off until he fights."

The Prophet ﷺ said, "In a dream I saw myself migrating from Mecca to a place having plenty of date trees. I thought that it was Al-Yamama or Hajar, but it came to be Medina i.e. Yathrib. In the same dream I saw myself moving a sword and its blade got broken. It came to symbolize the defeat which the Muslims suffered from, on the Day of Uhud. I moved the sword again, and it became normal as before, and that was the symbol of the victory Allah bestowed upon Muslims and their gathering together. I saw cows in my dream, and by Allah, that was a blessing, and they symbolized the believers on the Day of Uhud. And the blessing was the good Allah bestowed upon us and the reward of true belief which Allah gave us after the day of Badr.

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «رَأَيْتُ فِي الْمَنَامِ أَنِّي أُهَاجِرُ إِلَى أَرْضٍ بِهَا نَخْلٌ فَذَهَبَ وَهَلِي أَنَّهَا الْيَمَامَةَ أَوْ هَجَرُ فَإِذَا هِيَ الْمَدِينَةُ يَثْرِبُ وَرَأَيْتُ فِي رُؤْيَايَ هَذِهِ أَنِّي هَزَزْتُ سَيْفًا فَانْقَطَعَ صَدْرُهُ فَإِذَا هُوَ مَا أُصِيبَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَوْمَ أُحدٍ ثُمَّ هَزَزْتُهُ بِأُخْرَى فَعَادَ أَحْسَنَ مَا كَانَ فَإِذَا هُوَ مَا جَاءَ اللهُ بِهِ مِنَ الْفَتْحِ وَاجْتِمَاعِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَرَأَيْتُ فِيهَا بَقَرًا وَاللهُ خَيْرٌ فَإِذَا هُمُ النَّفَرُ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ وَإِذَا الْخَيْرُ مَا جَاءَنَا اللهُ بِهِ مِنَ الْخَيْرِ بَعْدُ وَثَوَابُ الصِّدْقِ الَّذِي كَانَ بَعْدَ يَوْمِ بَدْرٍ»

concerning the dream of the Prophet ﷺ in Medina: The Prophet ﷺ said, "I saw (in a dream) a black woman with unkempt hair going out of Medina and settling at Mahai'a. I interpreted that as (a symbol of) the epidemic of Medina being transferred to Mahai'a, namely, Al-Juhfa."

أَخْبَرَنَا يُوسُفَ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجٌ عَنِ ابْنِ جُرَيْجٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي مُوسَى بْنُ عُقْبَةَ عَنْ سَالِمٍ حَدَّثَهُ
