3771. Salma said: "I entered upon Umm Salamah while she was crying, so I said: 'What causes you to cry?' She said: 'I saw the Messenger of Allāh – that is, in a dream – and there was dirt on his head and his beard, so I said: "What is wrong with you, O Messenger of Allāh?"' He said: 'I just witnessed the killing of Al-Husain.'" (Da'if) [Abū 'Eisā said:] This Hadīth is Gharīb.
٣٧٧١ - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ الْأَشَجُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَالِدٍ الْأَحْمَرُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا رَزِينٌ قَالَ: حَدَّثَتْنِي سَلْمَى قَالَتْ: «دَخَلْتُ عَلَى» أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ وَهِيَ تَبْكِي، فَقُلْتُ: مَا يُبْكِيكِ؟ قَالَتْ: رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ - تَعْنِي فِي الْمَنَامِ - وَعَلَى رَأْسِهِ وَلِحْيَتِهِ التُّرَابُ، فَقُلْتُ: مَا لَكَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ؟ قَالَ: شَهِدْتُ قَتْلَ الْحُسَيْنِ آنِفًا. هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ.

This dream of Umm Salamah was only an imaginative fancy which has no relation with reality because the Prophet ﷺ has left this world and gone to the next world (Barzakh) where there is no question of battles or dust raising. According to the Divine Law, on the death of relatives or loved ones, putting dust on the head and beard is strictly prohibited. On the occasion of the 'Battle of Mūtah', the Prophet ﷺ did not show any sign of crying or bewailing while declaring the martyrdom of Zaid and Ja'far. The event and its occurrence mentioned in this narration is incorrect.
