7010. Narrated Qais bin ‘Ubāda: I was sitting in a gathering in which there was Sa’d bin Mālik and Ibn ‘Umar. ‘Abdullāh bin Salām passed in front of them and they said, “This man is from the people of Paradise.” I said to ‘Abdullāh bin Salām, “They said so-and-so.” He replied, “Subhān Allāh! They ought not to have said things of which they have no knowledge, but I saw (in a dream) that a post was fixed in a green garden. At the top of the post there was a handhold and below it there was a servant. I was asked to climb (the post). So I climbed it till I caught hold of the handhold.” Then I narrated this dream to Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ. Allāh’s Messenger ﷺ said, “‘Abdullāh will die while still holding the firm reliable handhold (i.e., Islām).”
