I heard Allah’s Apostle while he was facing the East, saying, “Verily! Afflictions are there, from
where the side of the head of Satan comes out.”
Volume 9, Book 88, Number 214:
Narrated Ibn ‘Umar:
The Prophet said, “O Allah! Bestow Your blessings on our Sham! O Allah! Bestow Your blessings
on our Yemen.” The People said, “And also on our Najd.” He said, “O Allah! Bestow Your blessings on
our Sham (north)! O Allah! Bestow Your blessings on our Yemen.” The people said, “O Allah’s
Apostle! And also on our Najd.” I think the third time the Prophet said, “There (in Najd) is the place of
earthquakes and afflictions and from there comes out the side of the head of Satan.”

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 143:
Narrated Ibn ‘Umar:
I saw in a dream a piece of silken cloth in my hand, and in whatever direction in Paradise I waved
it, it flew, carrying me there. I narrated this (dream) to (my sister) Hafsa and she told it to the Prophet
who said, (to Hafsa), “Indeed, your brother is a righteous man,” or, “Indeed, ‘Abdullah is a righteous
man.”
Volume 9, Book 87, Number 146:
Narrated Ibn ‘Umar:
Allah’s Apostle said, “(I saw in a dream that) while I was standing at a well and drawing water
therefrom, suddenly Abu Bakr and ‘Umar came to me. Abu Bakr took the bucket and drew one or
two buckets (full of water), but there was weakness in his pulling, but Allah forgave him. Then Ibn
Al-Khattab took the bucket from Abu Bakr’s hand and the bucket turned into a very large one in his
hand. I have never seen any strong man among the people doing such a hard job as ‘Umar did, till
(the people drank to their satisfaction) and water their camels to their fill and they sat near the wa –
ter.”
