3893 - حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مَالِكُ بْنُ أَنَسٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي طَلْحَةَ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «الرُّؤْيَا الْحَسَنَةُ مِنَ الرَّجُلِ الصَّالِحِ، جُزْءٌ مِنْ سِتَّةٍ وَأَرْبَعِينَ جُزْءًا مِنَ النُّبُوَّةِ»

Commentary
Imâm Qurtubi ﷺ wrote explaining the meaning of the words 'dream is a part of prophecy' that the condition of a righteous believer's heart resembles somehow, the condition of the hearts of the Prophets. So, a part of the honor that is granted to the Prophets is also granted to a truthful believer. i.e., he is informed about some unseen matters through dreams. (Fathul-Bâri, volume 12, page 454)
