3632. 'Aishah said: "The first of what the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ was initiated with of Prophethood,
when Allāh wanted to honor him and grant His mercy upon His creatures, was that he would not see anything (in a dream) except that it would occur like the break of dawn. So he continued upon that for as long as Allāh willed for him to continue, and seclusion was made beloved to him, such that there was not anything more beloved to him than being alone.”
(Sahih)
[Abū ‘Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Sahih Gharīb.

Commentary
According to ‘Allāma Šafūr-Rahmān, three years before the Divine Mission of the Prophethood, the Prophet ﷺ preferred to remain in seclusion. In the last phase of this period of solitude, he started seeing dreams which were clear and lucid in nature. This continued for six months.
