Volume 9, Book 87, Number 153:
Narrated ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar:
Allah’s Apostle said, “While I was sleeping, I saw myself performing the Tawaf of the Ka’ba. Behold,
there I saw a whitish-red lank-haired man (holding himself) between two men with water dropping
from his hair. I asked, ‘Who is this?’ The people replied, ‘He is the son of Mary.’ Then I turned my face
to see another man with red complexion, big body, curly hair, and blind in the right eye which
looked like a protruding out grape. I asked, ‘Who is he?’ They replied, ‘He is Ad-Dajjal.’ Ibn Qatan re –
sembles him more than anybody else among the people and Ibn Qatan was a man from Bani Al-
Mustaliq from Khuza’a.”
Volume 9, Book 87, Number 154:
Narrated ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar:
I heard Allah’s Apostle saying, “While I was sleeping, I saw a bowl full of milk was brought to me
and I drank of it (to my fill) till I noticed its wetness flowing (in my body). Then I gave the remaining
of it to ‘Umar.” They asked, “O Allah’s Apostle! What have you interpreted (about the dream)? He
said, “(It is Religious) knowledge.” (See Hadith No. 134)
Volume 9, Book 87, Number 155:
Narrated Ibn ‘Umar:
Men from the companions of Allah’s Apostle used to see dreams during the lifetime of Allah’s
Apostle and they used to narrate those dreams to Allah’s Apostle. Allah’s Apostle would interpret
them as Allah wished. I was a young man and used to stay in the mosque before my wedlock. I said
to myself, “If there were any good in myself, I too would see what these people see.” So when I went
to bed one night, I said, “O Allah! If you see any good in me, show me a good dream.” So while I was
in that state, there came to me (in a dream) two angels. In the hand of each of them, there was a
mace of iron, and both of them were taking me to Hell, and I was between them, invoking Allah, “O
Allah! I seek refuge with You from Hell.” Then I saw myself being confronted by another angel hold –

ing a mace of iron in his hand. He said to me, “Do not be afraid, you will be an excellent man if you
only pray more often.” So they took me till they stopped me at the edge of Hell, and behold, it was
built inside like a well and it had side posts like those of a well, and beside each post there was an
angel carrying an iron mace. I saw therein many people hanging upside down with iron chains, and
I recognized therein some men from the Quraish. Then (the angels) took me to the right side. I nar –
rated this dream to (my sister) Hafsa and she told it to Allah’s Apostle. Allah’s Apostle said, “No doubt,
‘Abdullah is a good man.” (Nafi’ said, “Since then ‘Abdullah bin ‘Umar used to pray much.)
Volume 9, Book 87, Number 156:
Narrated Ibn ‘Umar:
I was a young unmarried man during the lifetime of the Prophet. I used to sleep in the mosque.
Anyone who had a dream, would narrate it to the Prophet. I said, “O Allah! If there is any good for
me with You, then show me a dream so that Allah’s Apostle may interpret it for me.” So I slept and
saw (in a dream) two angels came to me and took me along with them, and they met another angel
who said to me, “Don’t be afraid, you are a good man.” They took me towards the Fire, and behold, it
was built inside like a well, and therein I saw people some of whom I recognized, and then the angels
took me to the right side. In the morning, I mentioned that dream to Hafsa. Hafsa told me that she
had mentioned it to the Prophet and he said, “‘Abdullah is a righteous man if he only prays more at
night.” (Az-Zuhri said, “After that, ‘Abdullah used to pray more at night.”)
Volume 9, Book 87, Number 147:
Narrated Salim’s father:
about the Prophet’s dream in which he has seen Abu Bakr and ‘Umar: The Prophet said, “I saw (in a
dream) that the people had gathered. Then Abu Bakr stood up and pulled out one or two buckets full
of water (from a well) and there was weakness in his pulling — may Allah forgive him. Then Ibn Al-
Khattab stood up, and the bucket turned into a very large one and I have never seen any strong man
among the people doing such a hard job. He pulled out so much water that the people (drank to their
satisfaction) and watered their camels to their fill, (and then after quenching their thirst) they sat be –
side the water.”

Volume 9, Book 87, Number 148:
Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah’s Apostle said, “While I was sleeping, I saw myself standing at a well over which there was a
bucket. I pulled out from it as many buckets of water as Allah wished, and then Ibn Abi Quhafa (Abu
Bakr) took the bucket from me and pulled out one or two full buckets, and there was weakness in his
pull–may Allah forgive him. Then the bucket turned into a very large one and ‘Umar bin Al-Khattab
took it. I have never seen any strong man among the people, drawing water with such strength as
‘Umar did, till the people (drank to their satisfaction and) watered their camels to their fill;
whereupon the camels sat beside the water.”

the people to drink. Then Abu Bakr came to me and took the bucket from me in order to relieve me
and he pulled out one or two full buckets, and there was weakness in his pulling –may Allah for –
give him. Then Ibn Al-Khattab took it from him and went on drawing water till the people left (after
being satisfied) while the tank was over flowing with water.”

Narrated Abu Huraira:
We were sitting with Allah’s Apostle, he said, “While I was sleeping, I saw myself in Paradise. Sud –
denly I saw a woman performing ablution beside a palace. I asked, “For whom is this palace?” They
(the angels) replied, “It is for ‘Umar bin Al-Khattab.” Then I remembered ‘Umar’s ghira and went
back hurriedly.” On hearing that, ‘Umar started weeping and said, ” Let my father and mother be sac –
rificed for you. O Allah’s Apostle! How dare I think of my Ghira being offended by you?
