English narration

Narrated by عائشة بنت أبي بكر الصديق

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) said (to me), "You were shown to me in a dream. An angel brought you to me, wrapped in a piece of silken cloth, and said to me, 'This is your wife.' I removed the piece of cloth from your face, and there you were. I said to myself. 'If it is from Allah, then it will surely be.' "

حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ ، عَنْ هِشَامٍ ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ ، عَنْ عَائِشَةَ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهَا ، قَالَتْ : قَالَ لِي رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : "

رَأَيْتُكِ فِي الْمَنَامِ يَجِيءُ بِكِ الْمَلَكُ فِي سَرَقَةٍ مِنْ حَرِيرٍ ، فَقَالَ لِي : هَذِهِ امْرَأَتُكَ ، فَكَشَفْتُ عَنْ وَجْهِكِ الثَّوْبَ ، فَإِذَا أَنْتِ هِيَ ، فَقُلْتُ : إِنْ يَكُ هَذَا مِنْ عِنْدِ اللَّهِ يُمْضِهِ
