[6370] 140 - (2479) It was narrated from Sâlim that Ibn 'Umar said: "During the lifetime of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ, if a man saw a dream he would tell it to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ. I wished that I could see a dream and tell it to the Prophet ﷺ. I was young and unmarried, and I used to sleep in the Masjid at the time of the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ. I saw myself in a dream, as if two angels took hold of me and brought me to the fire, and it was built like a well, and it had two poles like the poles of a well. In it were some people whom I recognized, and I started saying, 'I seek refuge with Allâh from the Fire, I seek refuge with Allâh from the Fire, I seek refuge with Allâh from the Fire.' They were joined by another angel who said to me: 'Do not fear.' I told this to Hafṣah, and Hafṣah told it to the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ, and the Prophet ﷺ said: 'What a good man 'Abdullâh is, if only he prayed at night.' Sâlim said: "After that, 'Abdullâh only slept a little at night."
