It was the noble habit of rasoolullah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam that after the Fajr salaat he used to turn and face his companions and ask them did any of you see any dream last night? If anyone saw a dream he would relate it to them and he would give some nterpretation to it. As was his habit he once asked them that anyone of them has seen any dream. They all said they had not seen any dream. he then said "i saw a dream last night that two people came to me took hold of my hand and led me to a sacred place. I saw a man sitting and another standing with pincers in his hand. He was tearing open the sitting man<s cheek until it reached his neck. He then did the same with other cheek. In the mean time the first cheek came back to it<s normal position, so he did the same to it again. i asked the angels what is this? They replied "Carry on further."
We continued further until we passed a person lying down and another person was standing on his head-side witha heavy boulder in his hand. He took the boulder and with full force, he burst his head. Once the boulder struck him, t fell and rolled away to a far distance. When he went to pick the boulder by the time he returned, this person<s head became normal so he burst it again. I asked the angels "What is this?" They replied "Carry on further."
We carried on until we reached a cave which was like an oven. It was very wide at the bottom and very narrow at the top. A fire was burning in it and it was filled with many naked men and women. When the flames rose , all of them rose with it until they were about to fall out. When the flames susided they also went down with it. I asked them: "What is this?"
They both replied " Carry on further."
We proceeded further until we reached a river of blood. A person was standing in the centre of the river, and on the bank another man was standing with many boulders in front of him. The man n the centre walked towards the bank and when he was about to come out , the person on the bank threw a boulder on his face with such force that he returned to his original place in the centre. When he tried to come out again, he threw a boulder at him and sent him back. I asked them: "What is this?" They replied :" Carry on further"
We proceeded further until we reached a green luscious garden. There was a huge tree and under it an old man and many children were sitting. Near the tree another man was sitting. There was a fire burning in front of him which he was blowing. Thereafter my two companions lifted me and took me on the top of the tree. Within the tree, a beautiful house was being constructed. They took me inside it; i have never seen such a beautiful house. There were many old and young men and women, and many children inside. After taking me outside,, we went to an even higher place. Over there was a house which was better than the first one. They took me inside there were also old and young people in it. I said to those persons you took me around all night now tell me about all the mysteries."
One of them said " The one whose cheeks you saw being torn apart is a liar. He used to speak lies until they used to become famous everywhere. They will continue doing this to him until qiyaamah. As for the one whose head you saw getting smashed, he was a person whom Allah gave the knowledge of the Quran. He was negligent of it at night and not practicve it during the day. He will be punished right until qiyaamah in this way. As for those you saw in fire, they were all adulterers. As for one in the river he was a devourer of usury (interest). The old man under the tree is Ibrahim alayhis salaam and all the children around him are the infants of other people. The person blowing the fireis the guardian of hell. The second house is for the martyrs. I am Jibrail and this is Mika'eel." Then he said " Lift your head." i lifted my head and saw a white cloud above me. He said "This is your house." I said: " Let me entre it." He replied " Your life is not completed yet. There's still somne time left. If it was complete you would have enteredd it now."
LESSON: It sholud be known that dreams of Prophets are revelations. All these incidents are true. Several things are learnt from this hadith (a) the serve punishment of telling lies. (b) the fate of an aalim who does not practice on his kn owledge (c) the punishment of adultery, (d) the punishment of devouring interest. May Allah Ta'ala protect all muslims from these sins
