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

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.”

Narrated Abu Huraira:
The people used to say, “Abu Huraira narrates too many narrations.” In fact I used to keep close to
Allah’s Apostle and was satisfied with what filled my stomach. I ate no leavened bread and dressed
no decorated striped clothes, and never did a man or a woman serve me, and I often used to press my
