Volume 5, Book 57, Number 83:
Narrated Ibn ‘Umar:
If a man saw a dream during the lifetime of the Prophet he would narrate it to the Prophet. Once I
wished to see a dream and narrate it to the Prophet I was young, unmarried, and used to sleep in the
Mosque during the lifetime of the Prophet. I dreamt that two angels took me and went away with me
towards the (Hell) Fire which looked like a well with the inside walls built up, and had two side-
walls like those of a well. There I saw some people in it whom I knew. I started saying, “I seek Refuge
with Allah from the (Hell) Fire, I seek Refuge with Allah from the (Hell) Fire.” Then another angel met
the other two and said to me, “Do not be afraid.” I narrated my dream to Hafsa who, in her turn, nar –
rated it to the Prophet. He said, “What an excellent man Abdullah is if he only observes the night
prayer.” (Salem, a sub-narrator said, “Abdullah used not to sleep at night but very little hence for –
ward.”
