“On the authority of Ibn 'Abbas, who said: The Prophet ﷺ had ordered the expedition of Usamah, but he had not yet settled it because of the Prophet's ﷺ illness, and because of the apostasy of Musaylimah and al-Aswad. The hypocrites had spoken much about the appointment of Usamah until it reached the Prophet ﷺ, and he went out with his head bound from the headache caused by that matter, and because of good tidings he was shown in the house of 'A'ishah. He said: Indeed, last night I saw in a dream that there were two golden bracelets on my arm, and I disliked them, so I blew on them and they flew away. I interpreted them as these two liars: the owner of Yamamah and the owner of Yemen. It has reached me that some people are speaking about the leadership of Usamah. By my life, if they speak about his leadership, they had already spoken about the leadership of his father before him, and indeed his father was worthy of it, and indeed he is worthy of it. So carry out the expedition of Usamah. He also said: May Allah curse those who take the graves of their prophets as places of worship. Usamah set out and encamped at al-Jurf. The Messenger of Allah ﷺ became heavier in illness, and none stood up except those who waited for the first of them to the last of them, until Allah took His Prophet ﷺ.”
