[5928] 17 - (2269) Ibn 'Abbâs used to narrate that a man came to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ and said: "O Messenger of Allâh, last night I saw in a dream a canopy dripping with ghee and honey, and I saw people collecting it in the palms of their hands, some getting more and some getting less. And I saw a rope connecting heaven and earth. I saw you take hold of it and ascend, then another man took hold of it after you and ascended, then another man took hold of it and ascended, then another man took hold of it but it broke, then it was reconnected and he ascended." Abû Bakr said: "O Messenger of Allâh, may my father be sacrificed for you, by Allâh. Let me interpret it." The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "Interpret it." Abû Bakr said: "As for the canopy, it is the canopy of Islam. As for the ghee and honey dripping from it, that is the Qur'an, its sweetness and softness. As for that which the people collected of it, it is the one who learns a great deal of Qur'an and the one who learns a little. As for the rope connecting heaven and earth, it is the Truth that you brought, you adhere to it and Allâh raises you thereby. Then another man takes hold of it after you and is raised thereby, then another man takes hold of it and is raised thereby, then another man takes hold of it, then it breaks and is reconnected, and he is raised thereby. Tell me, O Messenger of Allâh, may my father and mother be sacrificed for you, am I right or wrong?" The Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "You got some of it right and some of it wrong." He said: "By Allâh, O Messenger of Allâh, I adjure you to tell me what I got wrong." He said: "Do not swear."

17 - (2269) حَدَّثَنَا حَاجِبُ بْنُ الْوَلِيدِ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، عَنِ الزُّبَيْدِيِّ، أَخْبَرَنِي الزُّهْرِيُّ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ، أَنَّ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ، أَوْ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ كَانَ يُحَدِّثُ أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ح وحَدَّثَنِي حَرْمَلَةُ بْنُ يَحْيَى التُّجِيبِيُّ - وَاللَّفْظُ لَهُ - أَخْبَرَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي يُونُسُ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ أَنَّ عُبَيْدَ اللهِ بْنَ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ أَخْبَرَهُ، أَنَّ ابْنَ عَبَّاسٍ كَانَ يُحَدِّثُ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ إِنِّي أَرَى اللَّيْلَةَ فِي الْمَنَامِ ظُلَّةً تَنْطِفُ السَّمْنَ وَالْعَسَلَ، فَأَرَى النَّاسَ يَتَكَفَّفُونَ مِنْهَا بِأَيْدِيهِمْ، فَالْمُسْتَكْثِرُ وَالْمُسْتَقِلُّ، وَأَرَى سَبَبًا وَاصِلًا، مِنَ السَّمَاءِ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ، فَأَرَاكَ أَخَذْتَ بِهِ فَعَلَوْتَ، ثُمَّ أَخَذَ بِهِ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَعْدِكَ فَعَلَا، ثُمَّ أَخَذَ بِهِ رَجُلٌ آخَرُ فَعَلَا، ثُمَّ أَخَذَ بِهِ رَجُلٌ آخَرُ فَانْقَطَعَ بِهِ، ثُمَّ وُصِلَ لَهُ فَعَلَا. قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ، وَاللهِ لَتَدَعَنِّي فَلَأَعْبُرَنَّهَا، قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «اعْبُرْهَا» قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: أَمَّا الظُّلَّةُ فَظُلَّةُ الْإِسْلَامِ، وَأَمَّا الَّذِي يَنْطِفُ مِنَ السَّمْنِ وَالْعَسَلِ فَالْقُرْآنُ حَلَاوَتُهُ وَلِينُهُ، وَأَمَّا مَا يَتَكَفَّفُ النَّاسُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَالْمُسْتَكْثِرُ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ وَالْمُسْتَقِلُّ، وَأَمَّا السَّبَبُ الْوَاصِلُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ إِلَى الْأَرْضِ فَالْحَقُّ الَّذِي أَنْتَ عَلَيْهِ، تَأْخُذُ بِهِ فَيُعْلِيكَ اللهُ بِهِ، ثُمَّ يَأْخُذُ بِهِ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَعْدِكَ فَيَعْلُو بِهِ، ثُمَّ يَأْخُذُ بِهِ رَجُلٌ آخَرُ فَيَعْلُو بِهِ، ثُمَّ يَأْخُذُ بِهِ رَجُلٌ آخَرُ فَيَنْقَطِعُ بِهِ ثُمَّ يُوصَلُ لَهُ فَيَعْلُو بِهِ، فَأَخْبِرْنِي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ بِأَبِي أَنْتَ، أَصَبْتُ أَمْ أَخْطَأْتُ؟ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَصَبْتَ بَعْضًا وَأَخْطَأْتَ بَعْضًا» قَالَ: فَوَاللهِ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَتُحَدِّثَنِّي مَا الَّذِي أَخْطَأْتُ؟ قَالَ «لَا تُقْسِمْ»
