حَدَّثَنَا زُهَيْرٌ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ هَارُونَ، أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ حُسَيْنٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ، عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ:
جَاءَ رَجُلٌ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ فَقَالَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ ظُلَّةً تَنْطِفُ سَمْنًا وَعَسَلًا، فَأَخَذَ النَّاسُ مِنْهَا، فَبَيْنَ مُسْتَكْثِرٍ مِنْهَا، وَبَيْنَ مُسْتَقِلٍّ، وَمَنْ بَيْنَ ذَلِكَ، وَكَأَنَّ سَبَبًا دُلِّيَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ، فَجِئْتَ فَأَخَذْتَ بِهِ فَعَلَوْتَ فَأَعْلَاكَ اللهُ، ثُمَّ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَعْدِكَ، فَأَخَذَ بِهِ فَعَلَا فَأَعْلَاهُ اللهُ، ثُمَّ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَعْدِكُمَا فَأَخَذَ بِهِ فَعَلَا، ثُمَّ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَعْدِكُمْ فَأَخَذَ بِهِ، ثُمَّ قُطِعَ بِهِ ثُمَّ وُصِلَ لَهُ فَعَلَا فَأَعْلَاهُ اللهُ، فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، ائْذَنْ لِي فَلْأَعْبُرْهَا، فَأَذِنَ لَهُ فَقَالَ: أَمَّا الظُّلَّةُ فَالْإِسْلَامُ، وَأَمَّا السَّمْنُ وَالْعَسَلُ فَالْقُرْآنُ، وَأَمَّا السَّبَبُ فَمَا أَنْتَ عَلَيْهِ تَعْلُو فَيُعْلِيكَ اللهُ، ثُمَّ يَكُونُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَعْدِكَ عَلَى مِنْهَاجِكَ فَيَعْلُو فَيُعْلِيهِ اللهُ، ثُمَّ يَكُونُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَعْدِكُمَا فَيَأْخُذُ بِأَخْذِكُمَا فَيَعْلُو فَيُعْلِيهِ اللهُ، ثُمَّ يَكُونُ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَعْدِكُمْ عَلَى مِنْهَاجِكُمْ ثُمَّ يُقْطَعُ بِهِ، ثُمَّ يُوصَلُ لَهُ فَيَعْلُو فَيُعْلِيهِ اللهُ، قَالَ: أَصَبْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ؟ قَالَ: أَصَبْتَ وَأَخْطَأْتَ، قَالَ: أَقْسَمْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ لَتُخْبِرَنِّي، قَالَ: لَا تُقْسِمْ

✧ A man came to the Messenger of God ﷺ and said: "O Messenger of God, I saw in a dream a canopy dripping clarified butter and honey. People were taking from it, some taking much and some taking little, and others in between. And it was as if a rope was let down from the sky. You came and took hold of it and ascended, and God raised you. Then a man came after you, took hold of it, and ascended, and God raised him. Then a man came after you two, took hold of it, and ascended. Then a man came after you, took hold of it, but it was cut off for him, then reconnected, and he ascended, and God raised him." Abu Bakr said: "O Messenger of God, permit me to interpret it." He permitted him, and Abu Bakr said: "As for the canopy, it is Islam. As for the clarified butter and honey, it is the Quran. As for the rope, it is what you are upon: you ascend and God raises you. Then there will be a man after you on your path who ascends and God raises him. Then there will be a man after you two who takes hold of what you two took hold of and ascends and God raises him. Then there will be a man after you on your path, but it will be cut off for him, then reconnected, and he ascends and God raises him." The Prophet ﷺ said: "You have been right and wrong." Abu Bakr said: "I adjure you, O Messenger of God, to tell me." He said: "Do not adjure me."
