هَلْ رَأَى أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمْ مِنْ رُؤْيَا ؟، فَيَقُصُّ عَلَيْهِ مَنْ شَاءَ اللهُ مَنْ يَقُصُّ. قَالَ: وَإِنَّهُ قَالَ لَنَا ذَاتَ غَدَاةٍ: إِنَّهُ أَتَانِي آتِيَانِ وَإِنَّهُمَا ابْتَعَثَانِي، وَإِنَّهُمَا قَالَا لِي: انْطَلِقْ وَإِنِّي انْطَلَقْتُ مَعَهُمَا وَقَالَ الْمُعْتَمِرُ فِي حَدِيثِهِ: أَتَانِي اللَّيْلَةَ آتِيَانِ، فَقَالَا لِي: انْطَلِقْ وَإِنِّي انْطَلَقْتُ مَعَهُمَا، فَأَتَيَا عَلَى رَجُلٍ مُضْطَجِعٍ، وَإِذَا آخَرُ قَائِمٌ عَلَيْهِ بِصَخْرَةٍ، وَإِذَا هُوَ يَهْوِي بِالصَّخْرَةِ لِرَأْسِهِ، فَيَثْلَغُ بِهَا رَأْسَهُ فَيَذْهَبُ الْحَجَرُ هَكَذَا فَيَتْبَعُ الْحَجَرَ، فَيَأْخُذُهُ فَمَا يَرْجِعُ إِلَيْهِ حَتَّى يَصِحَّ رَأْسُهُ كَمَا كَانَ، ثُمَّ يَعُودُ عَلَيْهِ فَيَفْعَلُ بِهِ كَمَا فَعَلَ الْمَرَّةَ الْأُولَى، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: سُبْحَانَ اللهِ مَا هَذَا ؟ قَالَ: قَالَا لِي: انْطَلِقِ انْطَلِقْ، قَالَ: فَانْطَلَقْتُ مَعَهُمَا فَأَتَيْنَا عَلَى رَجُلٍ مُسْتَلْقِيًا لِقَفَاهُ وَإِذَا آخَرُ قَائِمٌ عَلَيْهِ بِكَلُّوبٍ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ وَإِذْ هُوَ يَأْتِي أَحَدَ شِقَّيْ وَجْهِهِ فَيُشَرْشِرُ شِدْقَهُ إِلَى قَفَاهُ وَمَنْخِرَهُ إِلَى قَفَاهُ، وَعَيْنَهُ إِلَى قَفَاهُ، ثُمَّ يَتَحَوَّلُ إِلَى الْجَانِبِ الْآخَرِ فَيَفْعَلُ بِهِ كَمَا فَعَلَ بِالْجَانِبِ الْأَوَّلِ فَمَا يَفْرُغُ مِنْ ذَلِكَ الْجَانِبِ حَتَّى يَصِحَّ الْأَوَّلُ كَمَا كَانَ، ثُمَّ يَعُودُ فَيَفْعَلُ بِهِ كَمَا فَعَلَ الْمَرَّةَ الْأُولَى، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: يَا سُبْحَانَ اللهِ ! مَا هَذَا ؟ قَالَا: انْطَلِقِ انْطَلِقْ، فَانْطَلَقْتُ فَأَتَيْنَا عَلَى مِثْلِ بِنَاءِ التَّنُّورِ، قَالَ عَوْفٌ: وَأَحْسَبُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: فِيهِ لَغَطٌ وَأَصْوَاتُ رِجَالٍ وَنِسَاءٍ، وَإِذَا هُمْ يَأْتِيهِمْ لَهَبٌ أَسْفَلَ مِنْهُمْ، فَإِذَا أَتَاهُمْ ذَلِكَ اللهَبُ ضَوْضَوْا، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: مَا هَؤُلَاءِ ؟ قَالَا لِي: انْطَلِقِ انْطَلِقْ، قَالَ: فَانْطَلَقْنَا فَأَتَيْنَا عَلَى نَهَرٍ - حَسِبْتُ أَنَّهُ قَالَ - أَحْمَرَ مِثْلِ الدَّمِ، وَإِذَا فِي النَّهَرِ رَجُلٌ يَسْبَحُ وَإِذَا عَلَى شَطِّ النَّهَرِ رَجُلٌ قَدْ جَمَعَ عِنْدَهُ حِجَارَةً كَثِيرَةً وَإِذَا ذَلِكَ الرَّجُلُ السَّابِحُ يَسْبَحُ مَا يَسْبَحُ، ثُمَّ يَأْتِي ذَلِكَ الَّذِي جَمَعَ الْحِجَارَةَ فَيَفْغَرُ لَهُ فَاهُ فَيُلْقِمُهُ حَجَرًا، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: مَا هَذَا ؟ قَالَا لِي: انْطَلِقِ انْطَلِقْ، قَالَ: فَانْطَلَقْنَا فَأَتَيْنَا عَلَى رَجُلٍ كَرِيهِ الْمَرْآةِ، وَإِذَا هُوَ عِنْدَ نَارٍ لَهُ يَحُشُّهَا وَيَسْعَى حَوْلَهَا، قَالَ: قُلْتُ لَهُمَا مَا هَذَا ؟ قَالَا لِي: انْطَلِقِ انْطَلِقْ، فَانْطَلَقْنَا فَأَتَيْنَا عَلَى رَوْضَةٍ مُعْشِبَةٍ فِيهَا مِنْ كُلِّ نَوْرِ الرَّبِيعِ، وَإِذَا بَيْنَ ظَهْرَانَيِ الرَّوْضَةِ رَجُلٌ قَائِمٌ طَوِيلٌ، وَإِذَا حَوْلَ الرَّجُلِ مِنْ أَكْثَرِ وِلْدَانٍ رَأَيْتُهُمْ قَطُّ، وَأَحْسَبُهُ قَالَ: قُلْتُ: لَهُمَا مَا هَذَا أَوْ مَا هَؤُلَاءِ ؟ قَالَ: فَقَالَا لِي: انْطَلِقِ انْطَلِقْ، فَانْطَلَقْنَا فَأَتَيْنَا إِلَى دَرَجَةٍ عَظِيمَةٍ لَمْ أَرَ دَرَجَةً قَطُّ أَعْظَمَ مِنْهَا وَلَا أَحْسَنَ، قَالَ: قَالَا لِي: ارْقَ فِيهَا، قَالَ: فَارْتَقَيْتُ، فَأَتَيْنَا إِلَى مَدِينَةٍ مَبْنِيَّةٍ بِلَبِنِ ذَهَبٍ وَلَبِنِ فِضَّةٍ، فَأَتَيْنَا بَابَ الْمَدِينَةِ فَاسْتَفْتَحْنَا فَفُتِحَ لَنَا، فَدَخَلْنَا فَتَلَقَّانَا فِيهَا رِجَالٌ شَطْرٌ مِنْ خَلْقِهِمْ كَأَحْسَنِ مَا أَنْتَ رَاءٍ، وَشَطْرٌ مِنْ خَلْقِهِمْ كَأَقْبَحِ مَا أَنْتَ رَاءٍ، قَالَ: قَالَا لَهُمُ: اذْهَبُوا فَقَعُوا أَوْ فَقَعُوا فِي ذَلِكَ النَّهَرِ، فَإِذَا نَهَرٌ مُعْتَرِضٌ يَجْرِي كَأَنَّ مَاءَهُ الْمَحْضُ فِي الْبَيَاضِ فَذَهَبُوا فَوَقَعُوا فِيهِ، ثُمَّ رَجَعُوا إِلَيْنَا وَقَدْ ذَهَبَ ذَلِكَ السُّوءُ عَنْهُمْ، وَصَارُوا فِي أَحْسَنِ صُورَةٍ، قَالَ: فَقَالَا لِي: هَذِهِ جَنَّةُ عَدْنٍ، وَهَذَاكَ مَنْزِلُكَ، قَالَ: فَسَمَا بَصَرِي صُعُدًا، فَإِذَا قَصْرٌ مِثْلُ الرَّبَابَةِ الْبَيْضَاءِ، قَالَ: قَالَا لِي: هَذَا مَنْزِلُكَ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: بَارَكَ اللهُ فِيكُمَا ذَرَانِي فَأَدْخُلَهُ، قَالَ: قَالَا لِي: أَمَّا الْآنَ فَلَا، وَأَنْتَ دَاخِلُهُ، قَالَ: قُلْتُ: فَإِنِّي رَأَيْتُ مُنْذُ اللَّيْلَةِ عَجَبًا فَمَا هَذَا الَّذِي رَأَيْتُ ؟ قَالَا لِي: أَمَا إِنَّا سَنُخْبِرُكَ. أَمَّا الرَّجُلُ الْأَوَّلُ الَّذِي أَتَيْتَ عَلَيْهِ يُثْلَغُ رَأْسُهُ بِالْحَجَرِ، فَإِنَّهُ رَجُلٌ يَأْخُذُ الْقُرْآنَ فَيَرْفُضُهُ، وَيَنَامُ عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ الْمَكْتُوبَةِ، وَأَمَّا الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي أَتَيْتَ عَلَيْهِ يُشَرْشَرُ شِدْقُهُ إِلَى قَفَاهُ وَعَيْنُهُ إِلَى قَفَاهُ وَمَنْخِرُهُ إِلَى قَفَاهُ فَالرَّجُلُ الَّذِي يَغْدُوا مِنْ بَيْتِهِ فَيَكْذِبُ الْكَذِبَةَ تَبْلُغُ الْآفَاقَ، وَأَمَّا الرِّجَالُ وَالنِّسَاءُ الْعُرَاةُ الَّذِي فِي مِثْلِ بِنَاءِ التَّنُّورِ فَإِنَّهُمُ الزُّنَاةُ وَالزَّوَانِي، وَأَمَّا الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي يَسْبَحُ فِي النَّهَرِ وَيُلْقَمُ الْحِجَارَةَ فَإِنَّهُ آكِلُ الرِّبَا، وَأَمَّا الرَّجُلُ الْكَرِيهُ الْمَرْآةِ الَّذِي عِنْدَ النَّارِ فَإِنَّهُ خَازِنُ جَهَنَّمَ، وَأَمَّا الرَّجُلُ الطَّوِيلُ الَّذِي فِي الرَّوْضَةِ فَإِنَّهُ إِبْرَاهِيمُ ﷺ وَأَمَّا الْوِلْدَانُ الَّذِينَ حَوْلَهُ فَكُلُّ مَوْلُودٍ مَاتَ عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ، وَأَمَّا الْقَوْمُ الَّذِينَ شَطْرٌ مِنْهُمْ حَسَنٌ، وَشَطْرٌ مِنْهُمْ قَبِيحٌ فَهُمْ قَوْمٌ خَلَطُوا عَمَلًا صَالِحًا وَآخَرَ سَيِّئًا فَتَجَاوَزَ اللهُ عَنْهُمْ تَبَارَكَ وَتَعَالَى. كذا في طبعة مكتبة العلوم والحكم، ولعل الصواب: ( ابن الصباح )، والله أعلم.
✧ "Has any of you seen a dream?" Then whoever God willed would relate it to him. He said: And one morning he said to us: "Two visitors came to me and sent me (on a journey), and they said to me: 'Go.' So I went with them." And al-Muʿtamir said in his hadith: "Two visitors came to me last night and said to me: 'Go.' So I went with them." Then they came upon a man lying down, with another man standing over him holding a rock. He was raising the rock and smashing his head with it, splitting his head open. The rock would roll away, and he would follow it, pick it up, and not return to him until his head had healed and become as it was before. Then he would return to him and do to him as he had done the first time. He said: I said: "Glory be to God! What is this?" They said to me: "Go on, go on." So I went with them, and we came upon a man lying on his back, with another man standing over him holding an iron hook. He would come to one side of his face and tear his cheek from his mouth-corner to the back of his neck, and his nostril to the back of his neck, and his eye to the back of his neck. Then he would turn to the other side and do to it as he had done to the first side. He would not finish that side before the first had healed and become as it was. Then he would return and do to him as he had done the first time. He said: I said: "Glory be to God! What is this?" They said: "Go on, go on." So I went on, and we came upon something like the structure of a tannur (oven). ʿAwf said: And I think he said: In it there was clamor and voices of men and women. Flames would come to them from below, and when the flames reached them, they would cry out. He said: I said: "Who are these?" They said to me: "Go on, go on." So we went on, and we came upon a river—I think he said—red like blood. In the river there was a man swimming, and on the bank of the river there was a man who had gathered many stones. The swimming man would swim for a while, then come to the one who had gathered the stones, who would open his mouth and put a stone in it. He said: I said: "What is this?" They said to me: "Go on, go on." So we went on, and we came upon a man with a hideous appearance, tending a fire and walking around it. He said: I said to them: "What is this?" They said to me: "Go on, go on." So we went on, and we came upon a lush meadow containing every kind of spring blossom. In the middle of the meadow stood a tall man, and around him were more children than I had ever seen. I think he said: I said to them: "What is this, or who are these?" They said to me: "Go on, go on." So we went on, and we came to a great staircase, the greatest and most beautiful I had ever seen. He said: They said to me: "Climb it." So I climbed, and we came to a city built of bricks of gold and bricks of silver. We came to the gate of the city and asked for it to be opened, and it was opened for us. We entered, and we were met by men half of whose bodies were the most beautiful you could see, and the other half the ugliest you could see. He said: They said to them: "Go and plunge into that river." There was a river flowing across, its water as pure white as milk. So they went and plunged into it, then returned to us with the ugliness gone and in the best of forms. He said: They said to me: "This is the Garden of Eden, and that is your dwelling." He said: My gaze rose upward, and there was a palace like a white cloud. He said: They said to me: "This is your dwelling." I said: "May God bless you both. Let me enter it." They said to me: "Not now, but you will enter it." I said: "I have seen wonders since last night. What is this that I have seen?" They said to me: "We will tell you. The first man you came upon, whose head was being smashed with a rock, is a man who takes the Quran and then abandons it, and sleeps through the prescribed prayer. The man you came upon whose cheek, eye, and nostril were being torn to the back of his neck is a man who leaves his house in the morning and tells a lie that spreads to the horizons. The naked men and women in the structure like a tannur are the adulterers and adulteresses. The man swimming in the river and being fed stones is the consumer of riba (usury). The hideous-looking man tending the fire is the keeper of Hell. The tall man in the meadow is Ibrahim ﷺ. The children around him are every newborn who died upon the fitrah (natural disposition). The people half of whom were beautiful and half ugly are a people who mixed a righteous deed with an evil one, and God, Blessed and Exalted, has forgiven them." [As in the printed edition of Maktabat al-ʿUlum wa-l-Hikam; perhaps the correct reading is "Ibn al-Sabbah," and God knows best.]

✧ The greatest regrets of the children of Adam in this world are three: A man who has land that is irrigated and he has a water-lifting device with which he irrigates his land. When it became strong and produced its fruit, his water-lifting device died, so he feels regret over his device which he knows he will not find its like, and he feels regret over the fruit of his land that it will spoil before he can find a solution. And a man who has a swift horse and he meets a group of disbelievers. When they drew near to one another, the enemies of Allah were defeated, and the man sped ahead on his horse, so he feels regret that he will not find its like, and he feels regret over the victory that he had been close to attaining but missed. And a man who has a wife whose appearance and religion he is pleased with, and she gives birth to a boy, and she dies in her postpartum bleeding, so he feels regret over his wife, thinking that he will never find her like, and he feels regret over his child, fearing his loss before he finds someone to nurse him. These are the greatest of those regrets.
