Hadith Number: 111
اخبرنا محمد بن الحسن بن قتيبة ، قال: حدثنا حرملة بن يحيى ، قال حدثنا ابن وهب ، قال: اخبرنا يونس ، عن ابن شهاب ، ان عبيد الله بن عبد الله اخبره، ان ابن عباس كان يحدث، ان رجلا اتى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، فقال: يا رسول الله، إني رايت الليلة في المنام ظلة تنطف السمن والعسل، والناس يتكففون منها بايديهم، فالمستكثر والمستقل، وارى سببا واصلا من السماء إلى الارض، فاراك اخذت به فعلوت، ثم اخذ به رجل من بعدك فعلا، ثم اخذ به رجل آخر فعلا، ثم اخذ به رجل آخر فانقطع به، ثم وصل له فعلا، قال ابو بكر: يا رسول الله، بابي انت والله لتدعني فلاعبره، فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم:" عبر"، قال ابو بكر: اما الظلة فظلة الإسلام، واما الذي ينطف من السمن والعسل، فالقرآن حلاوته ولينه، واما ما يتكفف الناس من ذلك، فالمستكثر من القرآن والمستقل، واما السبب الواصل من السماء إلى الارض، فالحق الذي انت عليه، اخذته فيعليك الله، ثم ياخذ به رجل من بعدك فيعلو به، ثم ياخذ به رجل آخر فيعلو به، ثم ياخذ به رجل آخر فينقطع به، ثم يوصل له فيعلو، فاخبرني يا رسول الله، بابي انت، اصبت ام اخطات؟ قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم:" اصبت بعضا، واخطات بعضا"، قال: والله يا رسول الله، لتخبرني بالذي اخطات، قال:" لا تقسم" .
Ubaidullah bin Abdullah narrates: Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) used to narrate: Once a man came to the service of the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). He said: O Messenger of Allah! Last night I saw a cloud from which ghee and honey were raining down, and people were taking it in their hands. Some people were taking more, and some were taking less. Then I saw a rope hanging from the sky to the earth. Then I saw you, that you held it and ascended upwards. After you, a man held it and he also went up. Then another man held it and he also went up. Then another man held it, but the rope broke. Then it was joined for that man, so he also went up. (The narrator says) Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah! May my father be sacrificed for you. By Allah! Give me permission so that I may interpret it. The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: You interpret it! So Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: The cloud means the cloud of Islam, and the ghee and honey dripping from it (means) the Qur'an. Its sweetness and softness are meant. As for people taking it in their hands, some people acquire more knowledge of the Qur'an and some acquire less knowledge of it. As for the rope hanging down from the sky, it is the truth upon which you are established. You held it, so Allah Almighty granted you elevation. Then after you, a man held it, so he attained elevation through it. Then another man held it, so he attained elevation through it. Then another man held it, but the rope was severed. Then it was joined for that man, so he also attained elevation. O Messenger of Allah! Tell me. May my father be sacrificed for you, have I interpreted it correctly or incorrectly? The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: You have interpreted some of it incorrectly, and some of it correctly. Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: By Allah! O Messenger of Allah! Tell me where I made a mistake? The Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) said: "Do not swear."
