English translation

3919. It was narrated that Ibn 'Umar said: "I was a young unmarried man at the time of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ, and I used to stay overnight in the mosque. If any of us had seen a dream, he would tell it to the Prophet ﷺ. I said: 'O Allāh, if there is any good in me before You, show me a dream that the Prophet ﷺ can interpret for me.' So I went to sleep and I saw two angels who came to me and took me away. They were met by another angel who said: 'Do not be alarmed,' and they took me to Hell which was built like a well. In it were people, some of whom I recognized. Then they took me off to the right. In the morning I mentioned that to Hafsah, and Hafsah said that she told the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ about it, and he said: 'Abdullāh is a righteous man, if only he would pray more at night.'" (Sahih) He (the narrator) said: "And 'Abdullāh used to pray a great deal at night."

3919 - حَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ الْمُنْذِرِ الْحِزَامِيُّ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ الصَّنْعَانِيُّ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ غُلَامًا شَابًّا عَزَبًا، فِي عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَكُنْتُ أَبِيتُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ، فَكَانَ مَنْ رَأَى مِنَّا رُؤْيَا، يَقُصُّهَا عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقُلْتُ: اللَّهُمَّ إِنْ كَانَ لِي عِنْدَكَ خَيْرٌ فَأَرِنِي رُؤْيَا يُعَبِّرُهَا لِي النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَنِمْتُ، فَرَأَيْتُ مَلَكَيْنِ أَتَيَانِي فَانْطَلَقَا بِي، فَلَقِيَهُمَا مَلَكٌ آخَرُ، فَقَالَ: لَمْ تُرَعْ، فَانْطَلَقَا بِي إِلَى النَّارِ، فَإِذَا هِيَ مَطْوِيَّةٌ كَطَيِّ الْبِئْرِ، وَإِذَا فِيهَا نَاسٌ قَدْ عَرَفْتُ بَعْضَهُمْ، فَأَخَذُوا بِي ذَاتَ الْيَمِينِ، فَلَمَّا أَصْبَحْتُ ذَكَرْتُ ذَلِكَ لِحَفْصَةَ، فَزَعَمَتْ حَفْصَةُ، أَنَّهَا قَصَّتْهَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: «إِنَّ عَبْدَ اللَّهِ رَجُلٌ صَالِحٌ، لَوْ كَانَ يُكْثِرُ الصَّلَاةَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ» قَالَ: «فَكَانَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ يُكْثِرُ الصَّلَاةَ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ»

Commentary

A young unmarried man can sleep in a mosque during the day or night if he is in need of it. Correcting any mistake after mentioning the present good deed in order to arouse interest in a good deed, is allowed. This dream indicates that 'Abdullāh bin 'Umar ﷺ is among the inhabitants of Paradise.
