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.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) that the two young men who came to Sayyiduna Yusuf (peace be upon him) with their dreams had lied. When he (peace be upon him) interpreted their dreams, they said: We were only joking. At that Sayyiduna Yusuf (peace be upon him) said: "The matter about which you inquire has been decreed." [Surah Yusuf: 41] This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with him) that a Jew named Bustan came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Muhammad, do you know the stars which Yusuf (peace be upon him) saw prostrating to him? The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) remained silent until Jibril (peace be upon him) came and told him the answer to the question. Then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) met the Jew and said: "O Jew, taking Allah as witness, if I tell you, will you accept Islam?" He said: Yes. So the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "The stars are these: Hadathan, al-Tariq, al-Dhayyal, Qabis, al-Amudan, al-Faylaq, al-Musbih, al-Saruh, Dhu al-Kaffan, Dhu al-Far' and al-Waththab. Yusuf (peace be upon him) saw them encompassing the horizons of the sky, prostrating to him. He related this dream to his father, and his father said: This is a scattered matter which Allah will soon bring together (in its fulfilment)." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both), concerning the saying of Allah Almighty: "Indeed, I saw eleven stars" [Surah Yusuf: 4] , that he said: The dreams of the prophets were revelation. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Salman al-Farisi (may Allah be pleased with him) that between Sayyiduna Yusuf (peace be upon him) seeing his dream and its interpretation becoming manifest there was a period of forty years.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) that Sayyiduna Umar bin al-Khattab (may Allah be pleased with him) met Sayyiduna Ali bin Abi Talib (may Allah be pleased with him) and asked: O Abu al-Hasan, a person sees dreams, some of which are true and some false; what is the reality of this? He replied: Yes, I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "There is no man or woman who sleeps and whose sleep becomes deep but that his soul is raised towards the Throne. The soul that reaches the Throne (before waking), its dream is true; and the soul that wakes before reaching the Throne, its dream is false."

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Samurah bin Jundub (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) would often ask (the Companions): "Has any of you seen a dream?" So whoever wished would relate his dream. One morning he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Last night two angels came to me. One of them sat at my head and the other at my feet. The one at my feet said to the one at my head: Strike a parable of him and his nation. He said: The parable of him and his nation is like that of travellers who reached the edge of a desert and did not have enough provisions to cross the desert, nor enough to return. While they were in this predicament, a well-dressed and well-groomed man suddenly came to them and said: If I take you to green pastures and full pools with abundant water, will you follow me? They said: Yes. So he took them and brought them to green pastures and brimming pools, and they ate, drank and grew fat. Then that man said to them: Did I not find you in that helpless state, and did I not say to you that if I brought you to green pastures and full pools, would you follow me? They said: Of course (we would). He said: Then listen! Ahead of you are gardens greener than these and pools sweeter than these, so follow me. At this one group said: By Allah, he has spoken the truth, we will certainly follow him; while the other group said: We are content with this and will stay here." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it.

It is narrated from Sayyiduna Abdullah bin Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that he said: I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in a dream at midday, his hair dishevelled and covered in dust, with a flask containing blood. I said: O Prophet of Allah, what is this? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "This is the blood of Husayn and his companions; I have been gathering it continuously since today." The narrator said: That day was calculated, and it was found that Sayyiduna Husayn (may Allah be pleased with him) had been martyred one day before that. This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of Imam Muslim, but the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim) did not record it.
