English translation

2288. 'Āishah said: "The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ was asked about Waraqah. Khadījah said to him: 'He believed in you, but he died before your advent.' So the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: 'I saw him in a dream, and upon him were white garments. If he were among the inhabitants of the Fire then he would have been wearing other than that.'" (Da'if) [He said:] This Hadīth is Gharīb. 'Uthmān bin 'Abdur-Raḥmān (a narrator in the chain) is not strong according to the people of Hadīth.

Arabic text

٢٢٨٨ - حَدَّثَنَا ‌أَبُو مُوسَى الْأَنْصَارِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا ‌يُونُسُ بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنِي ‌عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنِ ‌الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ ‌عُرْوَةَ ، عَنْ ‌عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ: «سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ وَرَقَةَ،» فَقَالَتْ لَهُ خَدِيجَةُ: إِنَّهُ كَانَ صَدَّقَكَ، وَلَكِنَّهُ مَاتَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَظْهَرَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: أُرِيتُهُ فِي الْمَنَامِ وَعَلَيْهِ ثِيَابٌ بَيَاضٌ، وَلَوْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ لَكَانَ عَلَيْهِ لِبَاسٌ غَيْرُ ذَلِكَ. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ، وَعُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ لَيْسَ عِنْدَ أَهْلِ الْحَدِيثِ بِالْقَوِيِّ.

Commentary

As reported in a Hadīth in Al-Bukhārī, when the Mother of the Believers Khadījah ﷺ, took the Prophet ﷺ to Waraqah bin Naufal, the latter testified to the Prophethood of the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ and expressed his wish to be with the Prophet ﷺ, and to do his bit to help him at the time when the people would drive him out of his home. This proves that Waraqah had believed in the Prophet ﷺ on hearing of the very first Revelation received by him. Waraqah is, thus, the first person to enter the fold of Islam and, God willing, will have his place in Paradise.
