Sayyiduna Jabir bin Abdullah (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrates that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I saw in a dream that there was a basket of dates, I gathered some dates from it and put them in my mouth, I found in them such a pit that caused me discomfort, so I spat those dates out of my mouth, then I took more and gathered them, in them too was a pit, I spat them out as well, then I took more, gathered them and put them in my mouth, in them too I found a pit and spat them out. Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: Allow me to interpret this. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Interpret it. He said: This refers to your army which you have sent; it will return safely and bring spoils of war, they will meet a man who will invoke your guarantee, they will let him go, then they will meet another man, he too will invoke your guarantee, they will let him go as well, then they will meet another man, he too will refer to your guarantee, they will let him go as well. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The angel has told me this very interpretation.
