91 - THE BOOK OF THE INTERPRETATION OF DREAMS

English translation

6982. Narrated 'Aishah رضي الله عنها: رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا The commencement of the (Divine) Revelation to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ was in the form of good righteous (true) dreams which came true like bright daylight. (And then the love of seclusion was bestowed upon him). He used to go in seclusion (in the cave of) Hīrā where he used to worship (Allāh Alone) continuously for many (days and) nights. He used to take with him the journey-food for that (stay) and then come back to (his wife) Khadīja to take his food likewise again (for another period to stay), till suddenly the Truth descended upon him while he was in the cave of Hīrā. The angel came to him in it and asked him to read. The Prophet ﷺ replied, "I do not know how to read." (The Prophet ﷺ added), "The angel caught me (forcefully) and pressed me so hard that I could not bear it anymore. He then released me and again asked me to read, and I replied, 'I do not know how to read.' Thereupon he caught me again and pressed me a second time till I could not bear it anymore. He then released me and asked me again to read, but again I replied, 'I do not know how to read (or, what shall I read?)'. Thereupon he caught me for the third time and pressed me and then released me and said, 'Read! In the Name of your Lord, Who has created (all that exists). Has created man from a clot. Read! And your Lord is Most Generous... upto... that which he knew not.'" (V.96:5) Then Allāh's Messenger ﷺ returned with the Revelation, and with his heart beating severely till he entered upon Khadija and said, "Cover me! Cover me!" They covered him till his fear was over and then he said, "O Khadija, what is wrong with me?" Then he told her everything that had happened and said, "I fear that something may happen to me." Khadija رضي الله عنها said, "Never! By Allah! But have the glad tidings, for by Allāh, Allāh will never disgrace you as you keep good relations with your kith and kin, speak the truth, help the poor and the destitute, serve your guests generously and assist the deserving, calamity-afflicted ones." Khadija then accompanied him to (her cousin) Waraqa bin Naufal bin Asad bin 'Abdul-'Uzza bin Qusaī. Waraqa was the son of her paternal uncle, i.e., her father's brother, who during the pre-Islāmic period became a Christian and used to write the Arabic writing and used to write of the Gospel in Arabic as much as Allāh wished him to write. He was an old man and had lost his eyesight. Khadija said to him, "O my cousin! Listen to what your nephew has to say." Waraqa asked, "O my nephew! What have you seen?" The Prophet ﷺ described whatever he had seen. Waraqa said, "This is the same Nāmūs [i.e., Jibrīl (Gabriel), whom Allāh had sent to Mūsā (Moses). I wish I were young and could live up to the time when your people would turn you out." Allāh's Messenger ﷺ asked, "Will they drive me out," Waraqa replied in the affirmative and said: "Never did a man come with something similar to what you have brought but was treated with hostility. If I should remain alive till the day (when you will be turned out) then I would support you strongly." But after a few days Waraqa died and the Divine Revelation was also paused for a while and the Prophet ﷺ became so sad as we have heard that he intended several times to throw himself from the tops of high mountains and everytime he went up the top of a mountain in order to throw himself down, Jibril would appear before him and say, "O Muḥammad (ﷺ)! You are indeed Allāh's Messenger in truth", whereupon his heart would become quiet and he would calm down and would return home. And whenever the period of the coming of the Revelation used to become long, he would do as before, but when he used to reach the top of a mountain, Jibril would appear before him and say to him what he had said before. [Ibn 'Abbās said regarding the meaning of 'Cleaver of the daybreak' (V.6:96), that Al-Isbāh means the light of the sun during the day and the light of the moon at night].

Narrated Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنه: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "When the Day of Resurrection approaches, the dreams of a believer will hardly fail to come true, and a dream of a believer is one of the forty-six parts of An-Nubuwwa (Prophethood) and whatever belongs to An-Nubuwwa can never be false." Muḥammad bin Sirīn said, "But I say this." He said, "It used to be said, 'There are three types of dreams: (1) The reflection of one's thoughts and experiences one has during wakefulness, (2) what is suggested by Satan to frighten the dreamer, (3) or glad tidings from Allāh. So, if someone has a dream which he dislikes, he should not tell it to others, but get up and offer a Ṣalāt (prayer).” He added, “He (Abū Hurairah) hated to see a Ghul (i.e., iron collar around his neck in a dream) and people liked to see fetters (on their feet in a dream). The fetters on the feet symbolizes one’s constant and firm adherence to religion”. And Abū ‘Abdullāh said, “Aghlāl (plural of Ghul) are used only for necks.”

By Allāh, though I am Allāh's Messenger, I neither know what will happen to me(1) nor to you.' Umm Al-'Alā' added, "By Allāh, I will never attest the righteousness of anybody after that." She added, "Later I saw in a dream, a flowing spring for 'Uthmān. So I went to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and mentioned that to him. He said, 'That is (the symbol of) his good deeds (the reward for) which is going on for him.'"

7025. Narrated Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنه: While we were sitting with Allāh's Messenger ﷺ, he said, "While I was sleeping, (in my dream) I saw myself in Paradise, and behold, a woman was performing ablution by the side of a palace. I asked, 'For whom is this palace?' They (the angels) replied, 'For Umar.' Then I remembered the Ghaira of Umar and returned immediately." Umar wept (on hearing that) and said, "Let my father and mother be sacrificed for you, O Allāh's Messenger! How dare I think of my Ghaira being offended by you."

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 Maryam (Mary).'

Narrated Ibn 'Umar رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا: Men from the Companions of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ used to see dreams during the lifetime of Allāh's Messenger ﷺ and they used to narrate those dreams to Allāh's Messenger ﷺ. Allāh's Messenger ﷺ would interpret them as Allāh wished him to interpret them. 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 Allāh! 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 Allāh, "O Allāh! 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 offer Ṣalāt (prayer) 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.

And behold, there was a rope extending from the earth to the sky, and I saw that you (the Prophet ﷺ) held it and went up, and then another man held it and went up and (after that) another (third) held it and went up, and then after another (fourth) man held it, but it broke and then got connected again." Abū Bakr said, "O Allāh's Messenger! Let my father be sacrificed for you! Allow me to interpret this dream." The Prophet ﷺ said to him, "Interpret it." Abū Bakr said, "The cloud with shade symbolizes Islām, and the butter and honey dropping from it, symbolizes the Qur'ān, its sweetness dropping and some people learning much of the Qur'ān and some a little. The rope which is extended from the sky to the earth is the Truth which you (the Prophet ﷺ) are following. You follow it and Allāh will raise you high with it, and then another man will follow it and he will rise up with it and another man will follow it and he will rise up with it, and then another man will follow it but it will break and then it will be connected for him and he will rise up with it. O Allāh's Messenger! Let my father be sacrificed for you! Am I right or wrong?" The Prophet ﷺ replied, "You are right in some of it and wrong in some." Abū Bakr said, "O Allāh's Prophet! By Allāh, you must tell me in what I was wrong." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Do not swear."

7047. Narrated Samura bin Jundub رضي الله عنه: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ very often used to ask his Companions, "Did anyone of you see a dream?" So dreams would be narrated to him by those whom Allāh willed to relate. One morning the Prophet ﷺ said, "Last night two persons came to me (in a dream) and woke me up and said to me, 'Proceed!' I set out with them and we came across a man, lying down, and behold, another man was standing over his head, holding a big rock. Behold, he was throwing the rock at the man's head, injuring it. The rock rolled away and the thrower followed it and took it back. By the time he reached the man, his head returned to its normal state. The thrower then did the same as he had done before. I said to my two companions, 'Subhān Allāh! Who are these two persons?' They said, 'Proceed! Proceed!' So we proceeded and came to a man lying in a prone position and another man standing over his head with an iron hook, and behold, he would put the hook in one side of the man's mouth and tear off that side of his face to the back (of the neck) and similarly tear his nose from front to back and his eye from front to back. Then he turned to the other (second) side of the man's face and did just as he had done with the first side. He hardly completed that (second) side when the first side returned to its normal state. Then he returned to it to repeat what he had done before. I said to my two companions, 'Subhān Allāh! Who are these two persons?' They said to me, 'Proceed! Proceed!' So we proceeded and came across something like a Tannūr (a kind of baking oven, a pit usually clay-lined for baking bread)." (Samura bin Jundub said) I think the Prophet ﷺ said, "In that oven there was much noise and voices." The Prophet ﷺ added, "We looked into it and found naked men and women, and behold, a flame of fire was reaching to them from underneath, and when it reached them, they cried loudly. I asked them, 'Who are these?' They said to me, 'Proceed! Proceed!' And so we proceeded and came across a river." I think he said, "... red like blood." The Prophet ﷺ added, "And behold, in the river there was a man swimming, and on the bank there was a man who had collected many stones. Behold, while the man who was swimming, went near the latter, the former opened his mouth and the latter (on the bank) threw a stone into his mouth whereupon he went swimming again. Then again he (the former) would return to him (the latter) and everytime the former returned, he opened his mouth and the latter threw a stone into his mouth (and so on) the performance was repeated. I asked my two companions, 'Who are these (two) persons?' They replied, 'Proceed! Proceed!' And we proceeded till we came to a man with a repulsive appearance. The most repulsive appearance you ever saw a man having! Beside him there was a fire and he was kindling it and running around it. I asked my companions, 'Who is this (man)?' They said to me, 'Proceed! Proceed!' So we proceeded till we reached a garden of deep green dense vegetation, having all sorts of of spring colour. In the midst of the garden there was a very tall man and I could hardly see his head because of his great height, and around him there were children in such a large number as I have never seen. I said to my companions, 'Who is this?' They replied, 'Proceed! Proceed!' So we proceeded till we came to a majestic huge garden, greater and better than I have ever seen! My two companions said to me, 'Ascend up' and I ascended up". The Prophet ﷺ added, "So we ascended till we reached a city built of gold and silver bricks and we went to its gate and asked (the gatekeeper) to open the gate, and it was opened, and we entered the city and found in it, men with one side of their bodies as handsome as the most handsome person you have ever seen, and the other side as ugly as the ugliest person you have ever seen. My two companions ordered those men to throw themselves into the river. Behold, there was a river flowing across (the city), and its water was like milk in whiteness. Those men went and threw themselves in it and then returned to us after the ugliness (of their bodies) had disappeared and they became in the best shape.” The Prophet ﷺ further added, “My two companions (angels) said to me, ‘This place is the ‘Adn Paradise, and that is your place.’ I raised up my sight, and behold, there I saw a palace like a white cloud! My two companions said to me, ‘That (palace) is your place.’ I said to them, ‘May Allāh bless you both! Let me enter it.’ They replied, ‘As for now, you will not enter it, but you shall enter it (one day).’ I said to them, ‘I have seen many wonders tonight. What does all that mean which I have seen?’ They replied, ‘We will inform you: As for the first man you came upon whose head was being smashed with the rock, he symbolises the one who studies the Qur’ān and then neither recites it nor acts on its orders, and sleeps, neglecting the enjoined Ṣalāt (prayers). As for the man you came upon whose sides of mouth, nostrils and eyes were torn off from front to back, he is the symbol of the man who goes out of his house in the morning and tells lies that is spreads all over the world. And those naked men and women whom you saw in a construction resembling an oven, they are the adulterers and the adulteresses, and the man whom you saw swimming in the river and given a stone to swallow, is the eater of Ribā (usury)(1) and the ugly looking man whom you saw near the fire, kindling it and going round it, is Mālik, the gatekeeper of Hell, and the tall man whom you saw in the garden, is Ibrāhīm (Abraham) and the children around him are those children who die with Al-Fitrāh (the Islāmic Faith of Monotheism).’ ” The narrator added : Some Muslims asked the Prophet ﷺ, “O Allāh’s Messenger! What about the children of Al-Mushrikūn (polytheists, pagans, idolaters, and disbelievers in the Oneness of Allāh and in His Messenger Muḥammad ﷺ)?” The Prophet ﷺ replied, “And also the children of Al-Mushrikūn. The Prophet ﷺ added, “And my two companions added, ‘The men you saw half handsome and half ugly were those persons who had mixed an act that was good with another that was evil, but Allāh forgave them.’ ”
