Hazrat Muslim (may Allah have mercy on him) narrates that a man came to the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said, "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! I saw in a dream a man emerging from the earth, and there was a man standing over his head with an iron mace in his hand. Whenever he would raise his head from the earth, the man would strike his head with the mace, causing him to sink back into the earth. Then he would emerge from another place, and again the man would come to him and strike his head with the mace." The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "That person is Abu Jahl bin Hisham; this will continue to be done to him until the Day of Resurrection."
