باب فِي الرُّؤْيَا

English narration

Narrated by أبو هريرة الدوسي

Abu Hurairah reported the Prophet ﷺ as saying: When the time draws near, a believer’s vision can hardly be false. The truer one of them is in his speech, the truer he is in his vision. Visions are of three types: Good visions are glad tidings from Allah, a terrifying vision caused by the devil, and the ideas which come from within a man. So when one sees anything he dislikes, he should get up and pray, and should not tell it to the people. He said: I like a fetter and dislike a shackle on the neck; a fetter indicates being firmly established in religion. Abu Dawud said: “when the time draws near” means that when the day and night are equal.

حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : "

إِذَا اقْتَرَبَ الزَّمَانُ لَمْ تَكَدْ رُؤْيَا الْمُؤْمِنِ أَنْ تَكْذِبَ ، وَأَصْدَقُهُمْ رُؤْيَا أَصْدَقُهُمْ حَدِيثًا ، وَالرُّؤْيَا ثَلَاثٌ : فَالرُّؤْيَا الصَّالِحَةُ بُشْرَى مِنَ اللَّهِ ، وَرُؤْيَا تَحْزِينٌ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ ، وَرُؤْيَا مِمَّا يُحَدِّثُ بِهِ الْمَرْءُ نَفْسَهُ ، فَإِذَا رَأَى أَحَدُكُمْ مَا يَكْرَهُ ، فَلْيَقُمْ فَلْيُصَلِّ وَلَا يُحَدِّثْ بِهَا النَّاسَ ، قَالَ : وَأُحِبُّ الْقَيْدَ وَأَكْرَهُ الْغُلَّ ، وَالْقَيْدُ ثَبَاتٌ فِي الدِّينِ

" , قال أبو داود : إِذَا اقْتَرَبَ الزَّمَانُ : يَعْنِي إِذَا اقْتَرَبَ اللَّيْلُ وَالنَّهَارُ : يَعْنِي يَسْتَوِيَانِ .
