✧ I came to Madinah and sat with the elders of the mosque of the Prophet ﷺ. An old man came leaning on a staff. A man said, "This man is one of the people of Paradise." He stood behind a pillar and prayed two rak'ahs. I went to him, and when he finished his prayer, I said to them, "O you all, you mean he is one of the people of Paradise?" He said, "Paradise belongs to Allah; He admits whom He wills. Indeed, I saw a dream during the time of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ: I saw as if a man came to me and said, 'Go.' So I went with him, and he led me into a great path. While I was walking, a road appeared on my left, and I wanted to take it, but he said, 'You are not one of its people.' Then a road appeared on my right, and I took it until I reached a slippery mountain. He took my hand and pulled me up, and there I was on its summit. There was an iron pillar with a golden loop at its top. He took my hand and lifted me until I grasped the loop, and he said, 'Hold fast to the loop.' I related it to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, and he said, 'Good. As for the great path, it is the gathering place; as for the road that appeared on your left, it is the path of the people of the Fire, and you are not one of them; as for the road that appeared on your right, it is the path of the people of Paradise; as for the slippery mountain, it is the station of the martyrs; as for the loop you held, it is the firm hold of Islam. Hold fast to it until you die.' I hope to be one of its people."

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ consulted the people on the day of Uhud and said: "I saw in a dream, as a sleeper sees, as if I were in a strong coat of mail, and as if cows were being slaughtered and sold. I interpreted the coat of mail as Madinah and the cows as a group of people. Allah is better, so if you fight them in the streets, the women would pelt them from above the walls." They said: "They would enter Madinah upon us, which they have never done before, but we will go out to them." He said: "Then it is your affair." He said: Then they regretted it and said: "We have rejected the opinion of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ." They came to the Prophet ﷺ and said: "O Messenger of Allah, your opinion." He said: "It is not for a prophet to put on his armor and then take it off until he fights."

✧ From the Prophet ﷺ, he said: "I saw in a dream that I was migrating to a land with palm trees. My mind went to al-Yamama or Hajar, but it turned out to be the city, Yathrib. And in this dream I saw that I shook a sword and its blade broke. That turned out to be what befell the believers on the day of Uhud. Then I shook it again and it returned to the best it had ever been. That turned out to be the victory and the gathering of the believers that Allah brought about. And I saw cows in it, and Allah is good. Those turned out to be the group of believers on the day of Uhud. And the good is what Allah brought us after that, and the reward of truthfulness that came after the day of Badr."

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ often used to say to his companions: "Has any of you seen a dream?" So they would narrate to him whatever Allah willed. He said: One morning he said to us: "Last night two beings came to me. They sent me and said to me, 'Go.' So I went with them. We came upon a man lying down, and another standing over him with a rock. He was throwing the rock at his head, smashing it. The stone would roll away, and he would follow it and take it. By the time he returned, his head had healed as it was before. Then he would go back to him and do the same as the first time. I said to them: 'Glory be to Allah! What are these two?' They said: 'Go on, go on.' So I went on. We came upon a man lying on his back, and another standing over him with an iron hook. He would come to one side of his face and tear his mouth corner to the back of his neck, then his eye to the back of his neck, and his nostril to the back of his neck. Then he would turn to the other side and do the same as the first time. I said: 'Glory be to Allah! What is this?' They said: 'Go on, go on.' So we went on. We came upon something like a tannur oven. We looked inside and saw naked men and women. Flames were coming at them from below, and whenever the flames came to them, they screamed. I said: 'What are these?' They said: 'Go on, go on.' So I went on. We came upon a river. In the river was a man swimming, and on the bank was a man who had gathered many stones. Whenever the swimmer swam a while, he would come to the one who had gathered the stones, open his mouth, and the man would put a stone in it. I said: 'What are these two?' They said: 'Go on, go on.' So we went on. We came upon a man of ugly appearance, the ugliest man you could ever see. He was by a fire, stoking it and walking around it. I said: 'What is this?' They said: 'Go on, go on.' So we went on. We came upon a garden. In the middle of the garden was a tall man, so tall I could hardly see his head in the sky. Around him were the most numerous children I had ever seen. Then we went on. We came upon a huge tree, the largest and most beautiful I had ever seen. They said: 'Climb it.' So we climbed and reached a city built of bricks of gold and silver. We came to the gate and asked for it to be opened. It was opened and we entered. There we met men, half of them the most handsome you could ever see and half the ugliest. They said to them: 'Go and plunge into that river.' There was a river flowing across, its water pure white. They went and plunged in, then returned to us with the ugliness gone and in the best of forms. They said to me: 'This is the Garden of Eden, and that is your dwelling.' I said: 'May Allah bless you both, let me enter it.' They said: 'Not now, but you will enter it.' I said: 'I have seen wonders tonight. What is this that I saw?' They said: 'We will surely tell you. The first man you came to whose head was being smashed with a rock is the man who learns the Quran and sleeps through the obligatory prayer. The man whose mouth corner was being torn to the back of his neck, and his eye and nostril to the back of his neck, is the man who leaves his house and tells a lie that reaches the horizons. The naked men and women in something like a tannur are the adulterers and adulteresses. The man in the river who was swimming and having stones put in his mouth is the one who consumes usury. The ugly man at the gate is Malik, the keeper of Hell. The tall man in the garden is Ibrahim. The children around him are every newborn who died upon the fitrah.' Some of the Muslims said: 'O Messenger of Allah, what about the children of the polytheists?' He said: 'And the children of the polytheists. As for the people half of whom were ugly, they are people who mixed good deeds with bad ones, and Allah overlooked them.'"
