English

[6381] 148 – (2484) It was narrated that Qais bin 'Ubâd said: "I was in Al-Madinah with some people, among whom were some Companions of the Prophet , when a man came whose face showed signs of the fear of Allah. Some of the people said: 'This man is one of the people of Paradise, this man is one of the people of Paradise.' He prayed two Rak'ah, making them short, then he went out. I followed him, and he entered his house, and I entered, and we spoke together. When he was at ease, I said to him: 'When you came in before, a man said such-and-such.' He said: 'Subhân Allah! No one should say what he does not know.' He said: 'Shall I tell you why that is? I saw a dream at the time of the Messenger of Allah , and I told him about it. I saw myself in a garden' – and he mentioned its vastness and richness and lushness -'and in the middle of the garden there was a pillar of iron. Its base was in the earth and its top was in the sky, and at the top of it, there was a handhold. It was said to me: "Climb it." I said: "I cannot." Virtues Of The Companions 4, 349 Z tJI Then a helper came to me and he pushed me up from behind. So I climbed until I was at the top of the pillar, and I took hold of the handhold. It was said to me: "Hold it tightly." "I woke up and it was in my hand. I told the Prophet about it, and he said: 'That garden is Islam, and that pillar is the pillar of Islam, and that handhold is the most trustworthy handhold. You will remain a Muslim until you die."' He said: "And the man was 'Abdullâh bin Salim."
