Allah’s Apostle said, “We (Muslims) are the last (to come) but (will be) the foremost (on the Day of
Resurrection).” Allah’s Apostle further said, ”While sleeping, I was given the treasures of the world
and two golden bangles were put in my hands, but I felt much annoyed, and those two bangles dis –
tressed me very much, but I was inspired that I should blow them off, so I blew them and they flew
away. Then I interpreted that those two bangles were the liars between whom I was (i.e., the one of
San’a’ and the one of Yamama).”

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.”

Narrated Abu Huraira:
Allah’s Apostle said, “When the Day of Resurrection approaches, the dreams of a believer will
hardly fail to come true, and a dream of a believer is one of forty-six parts of prophetism, and
whatever belongs to prothetism can never be false.” Muhammad bin Sirin said, “But I say this.” He
said, “It used to be said, ‘There are three types of dreams: The reflection of one’s thoughts and experi –
ences one has during wakefulness, what is suggested by Satan to frighten the dreamer, or glad tid –
ings from Allah. So, if someone has a dream which he dislikes, he should not tell it to others, but get
up and offer a prayer.” He added, “He (Abu Huraira) hated to see a Ghul (i.e., iron collar around his
neck in a dream) and people liked to see fetters (on their feet in a dream). The fetters on the feet

coming of) the Prophet .
