It is narrated from Sayyidah Umm Salamah (may Allah be pleased with her) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) lay down one night to sleep, then woke up in a state of distress. Then he lay down and slept, then woke up less distressed than the first time. Then he lay down, and when he woke up there was red soil in his (peace and blessings be upon him) hand which he (peace and blessings be upon him) was turning over. I said: O Messenger of Allah, what is this soil? He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Jibril (peace be upon him) informed me that this one (Husayn) will be killed in the land of Iraq. I said to Jibril: Show me the soil of the place where he will be killed; and this is its soil." 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 Abu Hurayrah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "I saw in a dream as though there were two gold bracelets in my hands, and I was troubled by them. Then it was revealed to me that I should blow on them, so I blew on them and they flew away. I interpreted them as two liars who will appear after me: one of them is Musaylimah of Yamamah, and the other is al-Ansi of Yemen (al-Aswad al-Ansi)." This hadith is sahih (authentic) on the condition of the two Shaykhs (Bukhari and Muslim), but they did not record it!
