1463 صحيح حديث ابن عمر، ان النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: اراني اتسوك بسواك، فجاءني رجلان احدهما اكبر من الآخر فناولت السواك الاصغر منهما، فقيل لي كبر، فدفعته إلى الاكبر منهما
Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I saw (in a dream) that I was using a miswak, and two men came to me. One of them was older than the other, so I gave the miswak to the younger one. Then it was said to me: Give it to the elder. So I gave it to the elder among them.

1464 صحيح حديث ابي موسى، عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، قال: رايت في المنام اني اهاجر من مكة إلى ارض بها نخل، فذهب وهلي إلى انها اليمامة او هجر فإذا هي المدينة، يثرب ورايت في رؤياي هذه اني هززت سيفا فانقطع صدره، فإذا هو ما اصيب من المؤمنين، يوم احد ثم هززته باخرى، فعاد احسن ما كان، فإذا هو ما جاء الله به من الفتح واجتماع المؤمنين ورايت فيها بقرا، والله خير، فإذا هم المؤمنون يوم احد، وإذا الخير ما جاء الله، من الخير، وثواب الصدق الذي آتانا الله بعد يوم بدر
Hazrat Abu Musa Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: I saw in a dream that I was migrating from Makkah to a land where there are date gardens. My mind went towards the thought that this place would be Yamamah or Hajar, but it was Yathrib, Madinah Munawwarah. And in the same dream, I saw that I shook a sword and it broke from the middle; this was an indication of the calamity that the Muslims had to face in the Battle of Uhud. Then I shook it a second time and it became even better than before. This was an indication of the event that Allah Almighty granted the conquest of Makkah and the Muslims all gathered together. In the same dream, I saw cows, and whatever is the work of Allah Almighty is best. These cows were an indication of those Muslims who were martyred in the Battle of Uhud, and the goodness was that which Allah Almighty granted us as a reward for truthfulness after the Battle of Badr.

1465 صحيح حديث ابن عباس، قال: قدم مسيلمة الكذاب على عهد رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، فجعل يقول: إن جعل لي محمد من بعده تبعته وقدمها في بشر كثير من قومه فاقبل إليه رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، ومعه ثابت بن قيس بن شماس وفي يد رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم، قطعة جريد، حتى وقف على مسيلمة، في اصحابه فقال: لو سالتني هذه القطعة ما اعطيتكها ولن تعدو امر الله فيك؛ ولئن ادبرت ليعقرنك الله وإني لاراك الذي اريت فيه ما رايت وهذا ثابت يجيبك عني ثم انصرف عنه قال ابن عباس: فسالت عن قول رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم: إنك ارى الذي اريت فيه ما رايت
Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated that during the time of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), Musaylimah the Liar came with the claim that if Muhammad (peace be upon him) would appoint him as his successor (deputy and caliph) after him, then he would follow him. With him was a very large army from his tribe (Banu Hanifah). The Prophet (peace be upon him) went to him to preach. Thabit bin Qais bin Shamas (may Allah be pleased with him) was also with the Prophet (peace be upon him), and in the Prophet’s hand was a branch of a date palm. Where Musaylimah was encamped with his army, the Prophet (peace be upon him) went and stayed there, and he said to him:“If you were to ask me for this branch, I would not give it to you, and you cannot go beyond the decision of Allah that has already been made about you. If you turn away from obeying me, Allah the Exalted will destroy you. I think you are the one who was shown to me in my dream. Now, Thabit bin Qais (may Allah be pleased with him) will answer you on my behalf.”Then the Prophet (peace be upon him) returned. Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated that then I asked the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) about his statement:“I think you are the one who was shown to me in my dream.”

1466 صحيح فاخبرني ابو هريرة: ان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: بينا انا نائم، رايت في يدي سوارين من ذهب فاهمني شانهما، فاوحي إلي في المنام ان انفخهما، فنفختهما فطارا، فاولتهما كذابين يخرجان بعدي؛ احدهما العنسي، والآخر مسيلمة
Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I was sleeping when I saw two gold bangles in my hands. Seeing them caused me great distress. Then, in the dream, it was revealed to me that I should blow on them, so I blew on them and they flew away. I interpreted this as referring to two liars who would appear after me: one was Aswad Ansi and the other was Musaylimah the Liar. Allah destroyed both of them like a puff of breath."

1467 صحيح حديث سمرة بن جندب رضي الله عنه، قال: كان رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم مما يكثر ان يقول لاصحابه:" هل راى احد منكم من رؤيا" قال: فيقص عليه من شاء الله ان يقص وإنه قال، ذات غداة: إنه اتاني، الليلة، آتيان، وإنهما ابتعثاني، وإنهما قالا لي: انطلق وإني انطلقت معهما، وإنا اتينا على رجل مضطجع، وإذا آخر قائم عليه بصخرة، وإذا هو يهوي بالصخرة لراسه، فيثلغ راسه فيتهدهد الحجر ههنا، فيتبع الحجر، فياخذه، فلا يرجع إليه حتى يصح راسه كما كان ثم يعود عليه فيفعل به مثل ما فعل المرة الاولىقال: قلت لهما: سبحان الله ما هذانقال: قالا لي: انطلققال: فانطلقنا، فاتينا على رجل مستلق لقفاه، وإذا آخر قائم عليه، بكلوب من حديد، وإذا هو ياتي احد شقي وجهه فيشرشر شدقه إلى قفاه، ومنخره إلى قفاه، وعينه إلى قفاهقال: ثم يتحول إلى الجانب الآخر، فيفعل به مثل ما فعل بالجانب الاول، فما يفرغ من ذلك الجانب حتى يصح ذلك الجانب كما كان، ثم يعود عليه فيفعل مثل ما فعل المرة الاولىقال: قلت سبحان الله ما هذانقال: قالا لي: انطلق فانطلقنا، فاتينا على مثل التنور، فإذا فيه لغط واصواتقال: فاطلعنا فيه، فإذا فيه رجال ونساء عراة، وإذا هم ياتيهم لهب من اسفل منهم، فإذا اتاهم ذلك اللهب ضوضواقال: قلت لهما: ما هؤلاءقال: قالا لي: انطلق، انطلققال: فانطلقنا، فاتينا على نهر احمر مثل الدم، وإذا في النهر رجل سابح يسبح، وإذا على شط النهر رجل قد جمع عنده حجارة كثيرة، وإذا ذلك السابح يسبح ما يسبح ثم ياتي ذلك الذي قد جمع عنده الحجارة فيفغر له فاه، فيلقمه حجرا، فينطلق يسبح ثم يرجع إليه كلما رجع إليه فغر له فاه فالقمه حجراقال: قلت لهما: ما هذانقال: قالا لي: انطلق، انطلققال: فانطلقنا، فاتينا على رجل كريه المرآة، كاكره ما انت راء رجلا، مرآة؛ وإذا عنده نار يحشها ويسعى حولهاقال: قلت لهما: ما هذاقال: قالا لي: انطلق، انطلق فانطلقنا، فاتينا على روضة معتمة، فيها من كل نور الربيع، وإذا بين ظهري الروضة رجل طويل لا اكاد ارى راسه طولا في السماء، وإذا حول الرجل من اكثر ولدان رايتهم قطقال: قلت لهما: ما هذا ما هؤلاءقال: قالا لي: انطلق، انطلققال: فانطلقنا فانتهينا إلى روضة عظيمة؛ لم ار روضة قط اعظم منها ولا احسنقال: قالا لي: ارق فيهاقال: فارتقينا فيها فانتهينا إلى مدينة مبنية، بلبن ذهب ولبن فضة، فاتينا باب المدينة، فاستفتحنا، ففتح لنا، فدخلناها، فتلقانا فيها رجال، شطر من خلقهم كاحسن ما انت راء، وشطر كاقبح ما انت راءقال: قالا لهم: اذهبوا فقعوا في ذلك النهرقال: وإذا نهر معترض يجري كان ماءه المحض في البياض فذهبوا فوقعوا فيه ثم رجعوا إلينا، قد ذهب ذلك السوء عنهم فصاروا في احسن صورةقال: قالا لي: هذه جنة عدن، وهذا منزلكقال: فسما بصري صعدا، فإذا قصر مثل الربابة البيضاءقال: قالا لي: هذاك منزلكقال: قلت لهما: بارك الله فيكما، ذراني فادخله قالا: اما الآن فلا وانت داخلهقال: قلت لهما: فإني قد رايت منذ الليلة عجبا فما هذا الذي رايتقال: قالا لي: اما إنا سنخبرك اما الرجل الاول الذي اتيت عليه يثلغ راسه بالحجر، فإنه الرجل ياخذ القرآن فيرفضه، وينام عن الصلاة المكتوبة واما الرجل الذي اتيت عليه يشرشر شدقه إلى قفاه، ومنخره إلى قفاه، وعينه إلى قفاه، فإنه الرجل يغدو من بيته فيكذب الكذبة تبلغ الآفاق واما الرجال والنساء العراة، الذين في مثل بناء التنور، فإنهم الزناة والزواني واما الرجل الذي اتيت عليه يسبح في النهر ويلقم الحجر، فإنه آكل الربا واما الرجل الكريه المرآة، الذي عند النار، يحشها ويسعى حولها، فإنه مالك، خازن جهنم واما الرجل الطويل الذي في الروضة فإنه إبراهيم صلى الله عليه وسلم واما الولدان الذين حوله فكل مولود مات على الفطرةقال: فقال بعض المسلمين: يا رسول الله واولاد المشركين فقال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم واولاد المشركين واما القوم الذين كانوا، شطر منهم حسنا وشطر منهم قبيحا، فإنهم قوم خلطوا عملا صالحا وآخر سيئا، تجاوز الله عنهم
Narrated by Hazrat Samurah bin Jundub (may Allah be pleased with him): Among the things that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) used to frequently ask his companions was: "Has any one of you seen a dream?" Then whoever wished would narrate his dream to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). One morning, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Last night, two visitors came to me and woke me up and said, 'Come with us.' So I went with them. Then we came to a man lying down, and another man was standing over him with a stone in his hand. He would strike his head with the stone, splitting it open. The stone would roll away, and the man would go after it, pick it up, and before he returned, the head would be restored to its original state. Then he would strike him again as before, and the same things would happen as before."
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I asked them, 'Glory be to Allah! Who are these two?' They said to me, 'Move on.' So we moved on and came to a man lying on his back, and another man was standing over him with an iron hook. He would come to one side of his face and tear his jaw up to the back of his neck, and his nose up to the back of his neck, and his eye up to the back of his neck. Then he would go to the other side and do the same as he had done on the first side. Before he finished the second side, the first side would return to its original state. Then he would repeat the same as he had done the first time."
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I said, 'Glory be to Allah! Who are these two?' They said, 'Move on.' So we moved on and came to something like a furnace. There was noise and voices in it. We looked inside and saw naked men and women, and flames of fire were rising from beneath them. When the fire reached them, they would scream."
The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I asked them, 'Who are these people?' They said, 'Move on, move on.' So we moved on and came to a river. (Hazrat Samurah, may Allah be pleased with him, says) I think he said it was red like blood. In that river, a man was swimming, and on the bank was another man who had collected many stones. When the swimmer approached the man with the stones, he would open his mouth, and the man on the bank would throw a stone into his mouth. Then he would swim away and return, and every time he came back, he would open his mouth, and the man would throw a stone into it."
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I asked, 'Who are these?' They said, 'Move on, move on.' Then we moved on and came to a very ugly man, the ugliest of all you have ever seen. He had a fire burning by him, and he was tending it and walking around it."
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I asked them, 'What is this?' They said, 'Move on, move on.' We moved on and came to a garden, lush and green, with all the flowers of spring. In the middle of the garden was a very tall man, so tall that it was difficult for me to see his head, as if he was touching the sky. Around him were many children, more than I had ever seen."
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I asked, 'Who is this? Who are these children?' They said, 'Move on, move on.' Then we moved on and came to a magnificent garden, the largest and most beautiful I had ever seen. They said, 'Climb up.' So we climbed up and saw a city built with bricks of gold and silver. We came to the gate of the city and asked for it to be opened. It was opened for us, and we entered. Inside, we met people whose one side was very beautiful and the other side was very ugly."
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The two companions said to those people, 'Go and enter that river.' A river was flowing in front of them, its water was extremely white. They went and entered it, and when they returned to us, their previous defect was gone, and they had become very beautiful."
The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The two said, 'This is the Garden of Eden, and this is your place.' I looked up and saw a palace above, like a white cloud. They said to me, 'This is your place.' I said to them, 'May Allah bless you, let me enter it.' They said, 'You cannot enter it now, but you will surely enter it.' I said to them, 'Tonight I have seen strange and wonderful things. What were these things that I saw?' They said, 'We will tell you.'"
"The first man you went to, whose head was being crushed with a stone, is the one who learned the Qur'an and then abandoned it, and slept through the obligatory prayer. The man whose jaw, nose, and eye were being torn to the back of his neck is the one who leaves his house in the morning and fabricates a lie that spreads throughout the world. The naked men and women you saw in the furnace are the adulterous men and women. The man you saw swimming in the river and having stones thrown into his mouth is the one who consumed usury. The ugly man tending the fire and walking around it is the keeper of Hell, named Malik. The tall man you saw in the garden is Ibrahim (peace be upon him), and the children around him are those who died upon the natural disposition (fitrah) in childhood."
Then again, he would strike him with the stone, and the same things would happen as before. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I asked them, 'Glory be to Allah! Who are these two?' They said to me, 'Move on.' So we moved on and came to a man lying on his back, and another man was standing over him with an iron hook.
