It is narrated from Amrah that Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said: I saw in a dream as though three moons fell into my chamber. I related my dream to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him). Then when the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was buried in my house, Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "This is one of your moons, and he is the best of them." This hadith has an authentic (sahih) chain of narration, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Ayyub (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I saw in a dream black sheep followed by white sheep. O Abu Bakr, interpret it." Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah, it refers to the Arabs who will follow you; then the non-Arabs will come after them until they fill it (with Islam). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This is how the angel interpreted it at the time of sahar (before dawn)."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I saw a large number of black sheep, among which many white sheep entered." The Companions said: O Messenger of Allah, how have you interpreted it? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The non-Arabs will share with you in your religion and your lineages." The Companions asked in surprise: O Messenger of Allah, the non-Arabs? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "If faith were hanging from the Pleiades, some men from among the non-Arabs would surely attain it, and through them people would attain felicity." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Bukhari, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.
