حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ أَخْبَرَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ حُسَيْنٍ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُتْبَةَ عَنِ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ قَالَ
رَأَى رَجُلٌ رُؤْيَا، [فَجَاءَ بِهَا إِلَى النَّبِيِّ] ﷺ فَقَالَ: إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ كَأَنَّ ظُلَّةً تَنْطِفُ عَسَلًا وَسَمْنًا، فَكَانَ النَّاسَ يَأْخُذُونَ مِنْهَا؛ فَبَيْنَ مُسْتَكْثِرٍ، وَبَيْنَ مُسْتَقِلٍّ، وَبَيْنَ ذَلِكَ. وَكَأَنَّ سَبَبًا مُتَّصِلًا إِلَى السَّمَاءِ - وَقَالَ يَزِيدُ مَرَّةً: 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، فَأَعْلَاهُ اللهُ. ثُمَّ جَاءَ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَعْدِكُمْ، فَأَخَذَ بِهِ، فَقُطِعَ بِهِ، ثُمَّ وُصِلَ لَهُ فَعَلَا، فَأَعْلَاهُ اللهُ. قَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: ائْذَنْ لِي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، فَأَعْبُرَهَا لَهُ ! فَأَذِنَ لَهُ، فَقَالَ: أَمَّا الظُّلَّةُ فَالْإِسْلَامُ، وَأَمَّا الْعَسَلُ وَالسَّمْنُ فَحَلَاوَةُ الْقُرْآنِ؛ فَبَيْنَ مُسْتَكْثِرٍ، وَبَيْنَ مُسْتَقِلٍّ، وَبَيْنَ ذَلِكَ. وَأَمَّا السَّبَبُ فَمَا أَنْتَ عَلَيْهِ، تَعْلُو فَيُعْلِيكَ اللهُ ! ثُمَّ يَكُونُ مِنْ بَعْدِكَ رَجُلٌ عَلَى مِنْهَاجِكَ، فَيَعْلُو وَيُعْلِيهِ اللهُ. ثُمَّ يَكُونُ مِنْ بَعْدِكُمَا رَجُلٌ فَيَأْخُذُ بِأَخْذِكُمَا، فَيَعْلُو، فَيُعْلِيهِ اللهُ. ثُمَّ يَكُونُ مِنْ بَعْدِكُمْ رَجُلٌ يُقْطَعُ بِهِ، ثُمَّ يُوصَلُ لَهُ، فَيَعْلُو، فَيُعْلِيهِ اللهُ. قَالَ: أَصَبْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ؟ قَالَ: أَصَبْتَ وَأَخْطَأْتَ ! قَالَ: أَقْسَمْتُ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، لَتُخْبِرَنِّي ؟ فَقَالَ: لَا تُقْسِمْ

✧ A man saw a dream and brought it to the Prophet ﷺ, saying: I saw as if a canopy was dripping honey and ghee, and the people were taking from it; some taking much, some taking little, and some in between. And as if a rope was connected to the sky - and Yazīd said once: And as if a rope was let down from the sky - so you came and took hold of it and ascended, and Allah raised you. Then a man came after you and took hold of it and ascended, and Allah raised him. Then a man came after you two and took hold of it and ascended, and Allah raised him. Then a man came after you and took hold of it, and it was cut off, then it was joined for him, and he ascended, and Allah raised him. Abū Bakr said: Permit me, O Messenger of Allah, to interpret it for him! So he permitted him, and he said: As for the canopy, it is Islam; as for the honey and ghee, it is the sweetness of the Qurʾān; some taking much, some taking little, and some in between. As for the rope, it is what you are upon; you ascend and Allah raises you! Then after you will come a man upon your path, and he will ascend and Allah will raise him. Then after you two will come a man who takes hold as you two took hold, and he will ascend, and Allah will raise him. Then after you will come a man for whom it will be cut off, then joined for him, and he will ascend, and Allah will raise him. He said: Did I get it right, O Messenger of Allah? He said: You got some right and some wrong! He said: I adjure you, O Messenger of Allah, to tell me! He said: Do not adjure me.
