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.”

Allah stick your nose in the dust (i.e. degrade you)!’ Then the man asked him about ‘Ali. Ibn ‘Umar

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
belly against gravel because of hunger, and I used to ask a man to recite a Quranic Verse to me al –
though I knew it, so that he would take me to his home and feed me. And the most generous of all
