حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ الْعَتَكِيُّ، وَخَلَفُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ، وَأَبُو كَامِلٍ الْجَحْدَرِيُّ، كُلُّهُمْ عَنْ حَمَّادِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، قَالَ: أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ فِي الْمَنَامِ كَأَنَّ فِي يَدِي قِطْعَةَ إِسْتَبْرَقٍ، وَلَيْسَ مَكَانٌ أُرِيدُ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ إِلَّا طَارَتْ إِلَيْهِ، قَالَ فَقَصَصْتُهُ عَلَى حَفْصَةَ، فَقَصَّتْهُ حَفْصَةُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَرَى عَبْدَ اللهِ رَجُلًا صَالِحًا».

I saw in a state of sleep as if I have in my hand a piece of silk cloth and there is no place in the Paradise where I intend to reach but that piece of cloth does not fly towards it. I made a mention of it to Hafsa (the sister of Ibn 'Umar) and Hafsa made a mention of it to Allah's Apostle ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ), whereupon Allah's Apostle ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) said: I find 'Abdullah b 'Umar a pious person.

— Ibn 'Umar رضی اللہ عنہ reported

حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، وَعَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ - وَاللَّفْظُ لِعَبْدٍ - قَالَا: أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: كَانَ الرَّجُلُ فِي حَيَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، إِذَا رَأَى رُؤْيَا، قَصَّهَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَتَمَنَّيْتُ أَنْ أَرَى رُؤْيَا أَقُصُّهَا عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: وَكُنْتُ غُلَامًا شَابًّا عَزَبًا، وَكُنْتُ أَنَامُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَرَأَيْتُ فِي النَّوْمِ كَأَنَّ مَلَكَيْنِ أَخَذَانِي فَذَهَبَا بِي إِلَى النَّارِ، فَإِذَا هِيَ مَطْوِيَّةٌ كَطَيِّ الْبِئْرِ، وَإِذَا لَهَا قَرْنَانِ كَقَرْنَيِ الْبِئْرِ، وَإِذَا فِيهَا نَاسٌ قَدْ عَرَفْتُهُمْ، فَجَعَلْتُ أَقُولُ: أَعُوذُ بِاللهِ مِنَ النَّارِ، أَعُوذُ بِاللهِ مِنَ النَّارِ، أَعُوذُ بِاللهِ مِنَ النَّارِ، قَالَ فَلَقِيَهُمَا مَلَكٌ فَقَالَ لِي: لَمْ تُرَعْ، فَقَصَصْتُهَا عَلَى حَفْصَةَ، فَقَصَّتْهَا حَفْصَةُ، عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «نِعْمَ الرَّجُلُ عَبْدُ اللهِ لَوْ كَانَ يُصَلِّي مِنَ اللَّيْلِ» قَالَ سَالِمٌ: فَكَانَ عَبْدُ اللهِ، بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ، لَا يَنَامُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا.

When a person saw anything in sleep during the lifetime of Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) he narrated it to Allah's Messenger, and I also had a longing that I should also see in a dream something which I should narrate to Allah's Apostle ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) and I was at that time an unmarried young man. I was sleeping in the mosque during the lifetime of Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) it) at I saw in a dream as if two Angels have taken hold of me and they have carried me to the fire, and, lo, it was built like the easing of a well and had two pillars like those of a well; and, lo, there were people in it whom I knew and I cried out: I seek refuge with Allah from Hell-fire; I seek refuge with Allah from Hell-fire. Then another Angel joined the two others, and said unto me: You need not fear I narrated this dream to Hafsa رضی اللہ عنہا and she narrated it to Allah's Messenger, whereupon Allah's Apostle said: Worthy is this man Abdullah رضی اللہ عنہ , O that he would pray at night, and Salim added that Abdullah رضی اللہ عنہ afterwards slept only but for a small part of the night.

— Ibn 'Umar رضی اللہ عنہ reported

حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ الدَّارِمِيُّ، أَخْبَرَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ خَالِدٍ، خَتَنُ الْفِرْيَابِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاقَ الْفَزَارِيِّ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ أَبِيتُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ، وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لِي أَهْلٌ، فَرَأَيْتُ فِي الْمَنَامِ كَأَنَّمَا انْطُلِقَ بِي إِلَى بِئْرٍ، فَذَكَرَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ بِمَعْنَى حَدِيثِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ عَنْ أَبِيهِ.

I used to spend nights in the mosque and by that time I had no wife and children. I saw in a dream as if I am being taken to a well. I made a mention of it to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). The rest of the hadith is the same.

— Ibn Umar رضی اللہ عنہ reported

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، وَابْنُ بَشَّارٍ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، سَمِعْتُ قَتَادَةَ، يُحَدِّثُ عَنْ أَنَسٍ، عَنْ أُمِّ سُلَيْمٍ، أَنَّهَا قَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ خَادِمُكَ أَنَسٌ، ادْعُ اللهَ لَهُ، فَقَالَ: «اللهُمَّ أَكْثِرْ مَالَهُ وَوَلَدَهُ، وَبَارِكْ لَهُ فِيمَا أَعْطَيْتَهُ».

Allah's Messenger ﷺ, here is your servant Anas رضی اللہ عنہ , invoke blessings of Allah upon him. Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet ﷺ) said: O Allah, make an increase in his wealth, and progeny, and confer blessings upon him in everything Thou hast bestowed upon him.

— Anas رضی اللہ عنہ reported that Umm Sulaim رضی اللہ عنہا said

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو دَاوُدَ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ قَتَادَةَ، سَمِعْتُ أَنَسًا يَقُولُ: قَالَتْ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ خَادِمُكَ أَنَسٌ، فَذَكَرَ نَحْوَهُ.

Umm Sulaim رضی اللہ عنہا said (to the Holy Prophet ﷺ) Allah's Messenger ﷺ , here is your servant Anas. The rest of the hadith is the same.

— Anas رضی اللہ عنہ reported

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ زَيْدٍ، سَمِعْتُ أَنَسَ بْنَ مَالِكٍ يَقُولُ مِثْلَ ذَلِكَ.

This hadith has been reported on the authority of Anas رضی اللہ عنہ through another chain of transmitters.

وحَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا هَاشِمُ بْنُ الْقَاسِمِ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ، عَنْ ثَابِتٍ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ: دَخَلَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْنَا، وَمَا هُوَ إِلَّا أَنَا وَأُمِّي وَأُمُّ حَرَامٍ، خَالَتِي. فَقَالَتْ أُمِّي: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ خُوَيْدِمُكَ، ادْعُ اللهَ لَهُ، قَالَ فَدَعَا لِي بِكُلِّ خَيْرٍ، وَكَانَ فِي آخِرِ مَا دَعَا لِي بِهِ أَنْ قَالَ: «اللهُمَّ أَكْثِرْ مَالَهُ وَوَلَدَهُ، وَبَارِكْ لَهُ فِيهِ».

Allah's Apostle ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) visited us and there was none else (in the house) but I, my mother and my mother's sister Umm Haram رضی اللہ عنہا. My mother said to him: Allah's Messenger, here is a small servant of yours, invoke blessings of Allah upon him. And he invoked blessings for me (that I should be bestowed upon) every good and this was what he (said) at the end of what be supplicated for me: O Allah, make an increase in his wealth, and progeny, and cqnfer blessings (upon him) in (each one) of them.

— Anas رضی اللہ عنہreported

حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو مَعْنٍ الرَّقَاشِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عُمَرُ بْنُ يُونُسَ، حَدَّثَنَا عِكْرِمَةُ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ، حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسٌ، قَالَ: جَاءَتْ بِي أُمِّي أُمُّ أَنَسٍ إِلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَقَدْ أَزَّرَتْنِي بِنِصْفِ خِمَارِهَا، وَرَدَّتْنِي بِنِصْفِهِ، فَقَالَتْ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، هَذَا أُنَيْسٌ ابْنِي، أَتَيْتُكَ بِهِ يَخْدُمُكَ فَادْعُ اللهَ لَهُ، فَقَالَ: «اللهُمَّ أَكْثِرْ مَالَهُ وَوَلَدَهُ» قَالَ أَنَسٌ: فَوَاللهِ إِنَّ مَالِي لَكَثِيرٌ، وَإِنَّ وَلَدِي وَوَلَدَ وَلَدِي لَيَتَعَادُّونَ عَلَى نَحْوِ الْمِائَةِ، الْيَوْمَ

Anas reported: My mother Umm Anas came to Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ). And she prepared my lower garment out of the half of her headdress and (with the other half) she covered my upper body and said: Allah's Messenger, here is my son Unais; I have brought him to you for serving you. Invoke blessings of Allah upon him. Thereupon he (the Holy Prophet) said: O Allah, make an increase in his wealth, and progeny. Anas said: By Allah, my fortune is huge and my children, and grand-children are now more than one hundred.

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا جَعْفَرٌ يَعْنِي ابْنَ سُلَيْمَانَ، عَنِ الْجَعْدِ أَبِي عُثْمَانَ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَنَسُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ: مَرَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَسَمِعَتْ أُمِّي، أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ صَوْتَهُ، فَقَالَتْ: بِأَبِي وَأُمِّي يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ أُنَيْسٌ، «فَدَعَا لِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، ثَلَاثَ دَعَوَاتٍ» قَدْ رَأَيْتُ مِنْهَا اثْنَتَيْنِ فِي الدُّنْيَا، وَأَنَا أَرْجُو الثَّالِثَةَ فِي الْآخِرَةِ.

Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) passed (by our house) that my mother Umm Sulaim رضی اللہ عنہا listened to his voice and said: Allah's Messenger, let my father and mother be sacrificed for thee, here is Unais (and requested him to invoke blessings upon me). So Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) invoked three blessings upon me. I have seen (the results) of the two in this very world (in regard to wealth and progeny) and I hope to see (the result) of the third one in the Hereafter.

— Anas bin Malik رضی اللہ عنہ said

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرِ بْنُ نَافِعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا بَهْزٌ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادٌ، أَخْبَرَنَا ثَابِتٌ، عَنْ أَنَسٍ، قَالَ: أَتَى عَلَيَّ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، وَأَنَا أَلْعَبُ مَعَ الْغِلْمَانِ، قَالَ: فَسَلَّمَ عَلَيْنَا، فَبَعَثَنِي إِلَى حَاجَةٍ، فَأَبْطَأْتُ عَلَى أُمِّي، فَلَمَّا جِئْتُ قَالَتْ: مَا حَبَسَكَ؟ قُلْتُ بَعَثَنِي رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ لِحَاجَةٍ، قَالَتْ: مَا حَاجَتُهُ؟ قُلْتُ: إِنَّهَا سِرٌّ، قَالَتْ: لَا تُحَدِّثَنَّ بِسِرِّ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَحَدًا قَالَ أَنَسٌ: وَاللهِ لَوْ حَدَّثْتُ بِهِ أَحَدًا لَحَدَّثْتُكَ يَا ثَابِتُ.

Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) came to me as I was playing with playmates. He greeted and sent me on an errand and I made delay in going to my mother. When I came to her she said: What detained you? I said: Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) sent me on an errand. She said: What was the purpose? I said: It is something secret. Thereupon she said: Do not then divulge the secret of Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) to anyone. Anas رضی اللہ عنہ said: By Allah, if I were to divulge it to anyone, then, O Thabit, I would have divulged it to you.

— Anas رضی اللہ عنہ reported

حَدَّثَنَا حَجَّاجُ بْنُ الشَّاعِرِ، حَدَّثَنَا عَارِمُ بْنُ الْفَضْلِ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعْتَمِرُ بْنُ سُلَيْمَانَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يُحَدِّثُ، عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ: «أَسَرَّ إِلَيَّ نَبِيُّ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ سِرًّا، فَمَا أَخْبَرْتُ بِهِ أَحَدًا بَعْدُ، وَلَقَدْ سَأَلَتْنِي عَنْهُ أُمُّ سُلَيْمٍ فَمَا أَخْبَرْتُهَا بِهِ».

Allah's Apostle ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) told me something secretly. I informed none about that and Umm Sulaim رضی اللہ عنہا asked me about it, but I did not tell her even.

— Anas bin Malik رضی اللہ عنہ reported

حَدَّثَنِي زُهَيْرُ بْنُ حَرْبٍ، حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ عِيسَى، حَدَّثَنِي مَالِكٌ، عَنْ أَبِي النَّضْرِ، عَنْ عَامِرِ بْنِ سَعْدٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبِي يَقُولُ: مَا سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «لِحَيٍّ يَمْشِي، إِنَّهُ فِي الْجَنَّةِ إِلَّا لِعَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ سَلَامٍ».

He heard his father (Sa'd bin Abi Waqqas) say: never heard Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) say unto one living and moving about that he was in Paradise except to 'Abdullah bin Salam رضی اللہ عنہ .

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الْمُثَنَّى الْعَنَزِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا مُعَاذُ بْنُ مُعَاذٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ عَوْنٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ عُبَادٍ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ بِالْمَدِينَةِ فِي نَاسٍ، فِيهِمْ بَعْضُ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ فِي وَجْهِهِ أَثَرٌ مِنْ خُشُوعٍ، فَقَالَ بَعْضُ الْقَوْمِ: هَذَا رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ، هَذَا رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ، فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ يَتَجَوَّزُ فِيهِمَا، ثُمَّ خَرَجَ فَاتَّبَعْتُهُ، فَدَخَلَ مَنْزِلَهُ، وَدَخَلْتُ، فَتَحَدَّثْنَا، فَلَمَّا اسْتَأْنَسَ قُلْتُ لَهُ: إِنَّكَ لَمَّا دَخَلْتَ قَبْلُ، قَالَ رَجُلٌ كَذَا وَكَذَا، قَالَ: سُبْحَانَ اللهِ مَا يَنْبَغِي لِأَحَدٍ أَنْ يَقُولَ مَا لَا يَعْلَمُ، وَسَأُحَدِّثُكَ لِمَ ذَاكَ؟ رَأَيْتُ رُؤْيَا عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَصَصْتُهَا عَلَيْهِ، رَأَيْتُنِي فِي رَوْضَةٍ - ذَكَرَ سَعَتَهَا وَعُشْبَهَا وَخُضْرَتَهَا - وَوَسْطَ الرَّوْضَةِ عَمُودٌ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ، أَسْفَلُهُ فِي الْأَرْضِ، وَأَعْلَاهُ فِي السَّمَاءِ، فِي أَعْلَاهُ عُرْوَةٌ، فَقِيلَ لِي: ارْقَهْ، فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: لَا أَسْتَطِيعُ، فَجَاءَنِي مِنْصَفٌ - قَالَ ابْنُ عَوْنٍ: وَالْمِنْصَفُ الْخَادِمُ - فَقَالَ بِثِيَابِي مِنْ خَلْفِي - وَصَفَ أَنَّهُ رَفَعَهُ مِنْ خَلْفِهِ بِيَدِهِ - فَرَقِيتُ حَتَّى كُنْتُ فِي أَعْلَى الْعَمُودِ، فَأَخَذْتُ بِالْعُرْوَةِ، فَقِيلَ لِيَ: اسْتَمْسِكْ. فَلَقَدِ اسْتَيْقَظْتُ وَإِنَّهَا لَفِي يَدِي، فَقَصَصْتُهَا عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ: «تِلْكَ الرَّوْضَةُ الْإِسْلَامُ، وَذَلِكَ الْعَمُودُ عَمُودُ الْإِسْلَامِ، وَتِلْكَ الْعُرْوَةُ عُرْوَةُ الْوُثْقَى، وَأَنْتَ عَلَى الْإِسْلَامِ حَتَّى تَمُوتَ» قَالَ: وَالرَّجُلُ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَلَامٍ.

I was in the company of some persons, amongst whom some were the Companions of Allah's Apostle ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) in Medina, that there came a person whose face depicted the fear (of Allah). Some people said: He is a person from amongst the people of Paradise; he is a person from amongst the people of Paradise. He observed two short rak'ahs of prayer and then went out. I followed him and he got into his house and I also got in and we began to converse with each other. And when he became familiar (with me) I said to Him: When you entered (the mosque) before (your entrance in the house) a person said so and so (that you are amongst the people of Paradise), whereupon he said: It is not meet for anyone to say anything which he does not know. I shall (now) tell you why they (say) this. I saw a dream during the lifetime of Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) and narrated it to him. I seemed to be in a garden [he described its vastness, its rich fructification and its verdure]; in the midst of it, there stood an iron pillar, with its base in the earth and its summit in the sky: and upon its summit there was a handhold. It was said to me: Climb up this (pillar). I said to him (visitant in the dream): I am unable to do it. Thereupon a helper came to me, and he (supported) me (by catching hold of my) garment from behind and thus helped me with his hand and so I climbed up till I was at the summit of the pillar, and grasped the handhold. It was said to me: Ho d it tightly. It was at this that I woke up when (the handhold) was in fthe grip) of my hand. I narrated it (the dream) to Allah's Apostle ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ), whereupon he said: That garden implies al-Islam and that pillar implies the pillar of Islam. And that handhold is the firmest faith (as refered to in the Qur'an). And you will remain attached to Islam until you shall die. And that man was 'Abdullah b. Salim.

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَمْرِو بْنِ عَبَّادِ بْنِ جَبَلَةَ بْنِ أَبِي رَوَّادٍ، حَدَّثَنَا حَرَمِيُّ بْنُ عُمَارَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا قُرَّةُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ، قَالَ: قَالَ قَيْسُ بْنُ عُبَادٍ: كُنْتُ فِي حَلَقَةٍ فِيهَا سَعْدُ بْنُ مَالِكٍ، وَابْنُ عُمَرَ، فَمَرَّ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَلَامٍ، فَقَالُوا: هَذَا رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ، فَقُمْتُ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: إِنَّهُمْ قَالُوا كَذَا وَكَذَا، قَالَ: سُبْحَانَ اللهِ مَا كَانَ يَنْبَغِي لَهُمْ أَنْ يَقُولُوا مَا لَيْسَ لَهُمْ بِهِ عِلْمٌ، إِنَّمَا رَأَيْتُ كَأَنَّ عَمُودًا وُضِعَ فِي رَوْضَةٍ خَضْرَاءَ، فَنُصِبَ فِيهَا، وَفِي رَأْسِهَا عُرْوَةٌ، وَفِي أَسْفَلِهَا مِنْصَفٌ - وَالْمِنْصَفُ الْوَصِيفُ - فَقِيلَ لِيَ: ارْقَهْ، فَرَقِيتُ حَتَّى أَخَذْتُ بِالْعُرْوَةِ، فَقَصَصْتُهَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «يَمُوتُ عَبْدُ اللهِ وَهُوَ آخِذٌ بِالْعُرْوَةِ الْوُثْقَى».

I was (sitting) in a company in which there were (besides others) Sa'd b. Malik and Ibn 'Umar رضی اللہ عنہ that 'Abdullah bin Salam رضی اللہ عنہ happened to pass (by that side). They (the people sitting in that company) said: He is a person from amongst the dwellers of Paradise. I stood up and said to him: They say such and such (thing about you), whereupon he said: Hallowed be Allah, it is not meet for them to say (anything) of which They have no knowledge. Verily I saw as if a pillar had been raised in a green garden and there had been fixed at its (upper) end a handhold and there was a helper at its base. It was said to me: Climb up. So I climbed up and caught hold of the haildhold. I narrated (the contents of this dream) to Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ), whereupon he said: 'Abdullah would die in a state that he would be catching hold of the firmest handhold (he would die holding fast to the faith).

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، وَإِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ، - وَاللَّفْظُ لِقُتَيْبَةَ - حَدَّثَنَا جَرِيرٌ، عَنِ الْأَعْمَشِ، عَنْ سُلَيْمَانَ بْنِ مُسْهِرٍ، عَنْ خَرَشَةَ بْنِ الْحُرِّ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ جَالِسًا فِي حَلَقَةٍ فِي مَسْجِدِ الْمَدِينَةِ، قَالَ: وَفِيهَا شَيْخٌ حَسَنُ الْهَيْئَةِ، وَهُوَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَلَامٍ، قَالَ: فَجَعَلَ يُحَدِّثُهُمْ حَدِيثًا حَسَنًا، قَالَ فَلَمَّا قَامَ قَالَ الْقَوْمُ: مَنْ سَرَّهُ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَى رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ فَلْيَنْظُرْ إِلَى هَذَا، قَالَ فَقُلْتُ: وَاللهِ لَأَتْبَعَنَّهُ فَلَأَعْلَمَنَّ مَكَانَ بَيْتِهِ، قَالَ فَتَبِعْتُهُ، فَانْطَلَقَ حَتَّى كَادَ أَنْ يَخْرُجَ مِنَ الْمَدِينَةِ، ثُمَّ دَخَلَ مَنْزِلَهُ، قَالَ: فَاسْتَأْذَنْتُ عَلَيْهِ فَأَذِنَ لِي، فَقَالَ: مَا حَاجَتُكَ؟ يَا ابْنَ أَخِي قَالَ فَقُلْتُ لَهُ: سَمِعْتُ الْقَوْمَ يَقُولُونَ لَكَ، لَمَّا قُمْتَ: مَنْ سَرَّهُ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَى رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ فَلْيَنْظُرْ إِلَى هَذَا، فَأَعْجَبَنِي أَنْ أَكُونَ مَعَكَ، قَالَ: اللهُ أَعْلَمُ بِأَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ، وَسَأُحَدِّثُكَ مِمَّ قَالُوا ذَاكَ، إِنِّي بَيْنَمَا أَنَا نَائِمٌ، إِذْ أَتَانِي رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ لِي: قُمْ، فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِي فَانْطَلَقْتُ مَعَهُ، قَالَ: فَإِذَا أَنَا بِجَوَادَّ عَنْ شِمَالِي، قَالَ: فَأَخَذْتُ لِآخُذَ فِيهَا، فَقَالَ لِي لَا تَأْخُذْ فِيهَا فَإِنَّهَا طُرُقُ أَصْحَابِ الشِّمَالِ، قَالَ فَإِذَا جَوَادُّ مَنْهَجٌ عَلَى يَمِينِي، فَقَالَ لِي: خُذْ هَاهُنَا، فَأَتَى بِي جَبَلًا، فَقَالَ لِيَ: اصْعَدْ، قَالَ فَجَعَلْتُ إِذَا أَرَدْتُ أَنْ أَصْعَدَ خَرَرْتُ عَلَى اسْتِي، قَالَ: حَتَّى فَعَلْتُ ذَلِكَ مِرَارًا، قَالَ: ثُمَّ انْطَلَقَ بِي حَتَّى أَتَى بِي عَمُودًا، رَأْسُهُ فِي السَّمَاءِ وَأَسْفَلُهُ فِي الْأَرْضِ، فِي أَعْلَاهُ حَلْقَةٌ، فَقَالَ لِيَ: اصْعَدْ فَوْقَ هَذَا، قَالَ قُلْتُ: كَيْفَ أَصْعَدُ هَذَا؟ وَرَأْسُهُ فِي السَّمَاءِ، قَالَ فَأَخَذَ بِيَدِي فَزَجَلَ بِي، قَالَ فَإِذَا أَنَا مُتَعَلِّقٌ بِالْحَلْقَةِ، قَالَ ثُمَّ ضَرَبَ الْعَمُودَ فَخَرَّ، قَالَ وَبَقِيتُ مُتَعَلِّقًا بِالْحَلْقَةِ حَتَّى أَصْبَحْتُ، قَالَ فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَصَصْتُهَا عَلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ: «أَمَّا الطُّرُقُ الَّتِي رَأَيْتَ عَنْ يَسَارِكَ فَهِيَ طُرُقُ أَصْحَابِ الشِّمَالِ، قَالَ وَأَمَّا الطُّرُقُ الَّتِي رَأَيْتَ عَنْ يَمِينِكَ فَهِيَ طُرُقُ أَصْحَابِ الْيَمِينِ، وَأَمَّا الْجَبَلُ فَهُوَ مَنْزِلُ الشُّهَدَاءِ، وَلَنْ تَنَالَهُ، وَأَمَّا الْعَمُودُ فَهُوَ عَمُودُ الْإِسْلَامِ، وَأَمَّا الْعُرْوَةُ فَهِيَ عُرْوَةُ الْإِسْلَامِ وَلَنْ تَزَالَ مُتَمَسِّكًا بِهَا حَتَّى تَمُوتَ».

I was sitting in a circle in the mosque of Medina and there was an old man, quite handsome. He was 'Abdullah bin Salam رضی اللہ عنہ . He was telling good things to them (to the people sitting in that company). As he stood up (to depart) the people said: He who is desirous of looking at a person from amongst the people of Paradise should see him. I said: By Allah, I will follow him, and would try to know his residence. So I followed him and he walked on until he reached the outskirts of Medina. He then entered his house. I sought permission from him to get in, and he granted me the permission, saying: My nephew, what is the need (that has brought you here)? I said to him: As you stood up, I heard people say about you: He who is desirous of seeing a person from among the people of Paradise should look at him. So I became desirous of accompanying you. He ('Abdullah b. Salim) said: It is Allah Who knows best about the people of Paradise. I would, however, narrate to you as to why they said like it. (The story is) that while I was asleep (one night) there came to me a person (in the dream) who asked me to stand up. (So I stood up) and he caught hold of my hand and I walked along with him, and, lo, I found some paths on my left and I was about to set out upon them. Thereupon he said to me Do not set yourself on (them) for these are the paths of the leftists (denizens of Hell-fire). Then there were paths leading to the right side, whereupon he said: Set yourself on these paths. We came across a hill and he said to me: Climb up, and I attempted to climb up that I fell upon my buttocks. I made several attempts (but failed to succeed). He led until he came to a pillar (so high) that its upper end touched the sky and its base was in the earth. And there was a handhold at its upper end. He said to me Climb over it. I said: How can I climb upon it, as its upper end touches the sky? He cought hold of my hand and pushed me up and I found myself suspended with the handhold. He then struck the pillar and it fell down, but I remained attached to that handhold until it was morning (and the dream was thus over). I came to Allah's Apostle ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ) and narrated it to him. He said: So far as the paths which you saw on your left are concerned, these are paths of the leftists (denizens of Hell) and the paths which you saw on your right, these are the paths of the rightists (the dwellers of Paradise) and the mountain represents the destination of the martyrs which you would not be able to attain. The pillar implies the pillar of Islam. and so far as the handhold is concerned, it implies the handhold of Islam, and you would hold to it fastly until you would meet death.

'Umar رضی اللہ عنہ happened to pass by Hassan رضی اللہ عنہ as he was reciting verses in the mosque. He (Hadrat 'Umar رضی اللہ عنہ ) looked towards him (meaningfully), whereupon he (Hassan رضی اللہ عنہ ) said: I used to recite (verses) when one better than you (the Holy Prophet) had been present (here). He then looked towards Abu Huraira رضی اللہ عنہ and said to him: I adjure you by Allah (to tell) if you had not heard Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌) as saying: (Hassan رضی اللہ عنہ), give a reply on my behalf; Allah I help him with Ruh-ul-Qudus.

I visited 'A'isha رضی اللہ عنہا when Hassan رضی اللہ عنہ was sitting there and reciting verses from his compilation: She is chaste and prudent. There is no calumny against her and she rises up early in the morning without eating the meat of the un- mindful. 'A'isha رضی اللہ عنہا said: But you are not so. Masruq said: I said to her: Why do you permit him to visit you, whereas Allah has said: And as for him among them who took upon himself the main part thereof, he shall have a grievous punishment (XXIV. ll)? Thereupon she said: What tornient can be more severe than this that he has become blind? He used to write satire as a rebuttal on behalf of Allah's Messenger ( ‌صلی ‌اللہ ‌علیہ ‌وسلم ‌ ).

She (Aishah' رضی اللہ عنہا) said: "He used to composed satire as a rebuttal behalf of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. But he did not mention the words: 'She is chaste and prudent.'"

— It was narrated from Shu'ba with this chain of narrators (a Hadith similar to no. 6391), and he said

حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ يَحْيَى، أَخْبَرَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ زَكَرِيَّاءَ، عَنْ هِشَامِ بْنِ عُرْوَةَ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ، قَالَتْ: قَالَ حَسَّانُ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، ائْذَنْ لِي فِي أَبِي سُفْيَانَ، قَالَ: «كَيْفَ بِقَرَابَتِي مِنْهُ؟» قَالَ: وَالَّذِي أَكْرَمَكَ لَأَسُلَّنَّكَ مِنْهُمْ كَمَا تُسَلُّ الشَّعْرَةُ مِنَ الْخَمِيرِ، فَقَالَ حَسَّانُ: [البحر الطويل] وَإِنَّ سَنَامَ الْمَجْدِ مِنْ آلِ هَاشِمٍ ... بَنُو بِنْتِ مَخْزُومٍ وَوَالِدُكَ الْعَبْدُ قَصِيدَتَهُ هَذِهِ.

Hassan رضی اللہ عنہ said: Allah's Messenger, permit me to write satire against Abu Sufyan, whereupon he said: How can it be because I am also related to him? Thereupon he (Hassan رضی اللہ عنہ) said: By Him Who has honoured you. I shall draw you out from them (their family) just as hair is drawn out from the fermented (flour). Thereupon Hassan رضی اللہ عنہ said: The dignity and greatness belongs to the tribe of Bint Makhzum from amongst the tribe of Hisham, whereas your father was a slave.
