‘Aisha:
The
commencement of the Divine Inspiration to Allah’s Apostle was in the form of
good righteous (true) dreams in his sleep. He never had a dream but that it
came true like bright day light. He used to go in seclusion (the cave of) Hira
where he used to worship(Allah Alone) continuously for many (days) nights. He
used to take with him the journey food for that (stay) and then come back to
(his wife) Khadija to take his food like-wise again for another period to stay,
till suddenly the Truth descended upon him while he was in the cave of Hira.
The angel came to him in it and asked him to read. The Prophet replied, “I do
not know how to read.” (The Prophet added), “The angel caught me (forcefully)
and pressed me so hard that I could not bear it anymore. He then released me
and again asked me to read, and I replied, “I do not know how to read,”
whereupon he caught me again and pressed me a second time till I could not bear
it anymore. He then released me and asked me again to read, but again I
replied, “I do not know how to read (or, what shall I read?).” Thereupon he
caught me for the third time and pressed me and then released me and said,
“Read: In the Name of your Lord, Who has created (all that exists). Has created
man from a clot. Read and Your Lord is Most Generous...up to..... ..that which
he knew not.” (96.15)
Then
Allah’s Apostle returned with the Inspiration, his neck muscles twitching with
terror till he entered upon Khadija and said, “Cover me! Cover me!” They
covered him till his fear was over and then he said, “O Khadija, what is wrong
with me?” Then he told her everything that had happened and said, ‘I fear that
something may happen to me.” Khadija said, ‘Never! But have the glad tidings,
for by Allah, Allah will never disgrace you as you keep good reactions with
your Kith and kin, speak the truth, help the poor and the destitute, serve your
guest generously and assist the deserving, calamity-afflicted ones.” Khadija
then accompanied him to (her cousin) Waraqa bin Naufal bin Asad bin ‘Abdul
‘Uzza bin Qusai. Waraqa was the son of her paternal uncle, i.e., her father’s
brother, who during the Pre-Islamic Period became a Christian and used to write
the Arabic writing and used to write of the Gospels in Arabic as much as Allah
wished him to write. He was an old man and had lost his eyesight. Khadija said
to him, “O my cousin! Listen to the story of your nephew.” Waraqa asked, “O my
nephew! What have you seen?” The Prophet described whatever he had seen.
Waraqa
said, “This is the same Namus (i.e., Gabriel, the Angel who keeps the secrets)
whom Allah had sent to Moses. I wish I were young and could live up to the time
when your people would turn you out.” Allah’s Apostle asked, “Will they turn me
out?” Waraqa replied in the affirmative and said: “Never did a man come with
something similar to what you have brought but was treated with hostility. If I
should remain alive till the day when you will be turned out then I would
support you strongly.” But after a few days Waraqa died and the Divine
Inspiration was also paused for a while and the Prophet became so sad as we
have heard that he intended several times to throw himself from the tops of
high mountains and every time he went up the top of a mountain in order to
throw himself down, Gabriel would appear before him and say, “O Muhammad! You
are indeed Allah’s Apostle in truth” whereupon his heart would become quiet and
he would calm down and would return home. And whenever the period of the coming
of the inspiration used to become long, he would do as before, but when he used
to reach the top of a mountain, Gabriel would appear before him and say to him
what he had said before. (Ibn ‘Abbas said regarding the meaning of: ‘He it is
that Cleaves the daybreak (from the darkness)’ (6.96) that Al-Asbah. means the
light of the sun during the day and the light of the moon at night).

like kings sitting on their thrones.” (The narrator Ishaq is not sure as to which
expression was correct). Um Haram added, ‘I said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Invoke
Allah, to make me one of them;” So Allah’s Apostle invoked Allah for her and
then laid his head down (and slept). Then he woke up smiling (again). (Um Haram
added): I said, “What makes you smile, O Allah’s Apostle?” He said, “Some
people of my followers were presented before me (in a dream) as fighters in

Ibn ‘Umar:
Men
from the companions of Allah’s Apostle used to see dreams during the lifetime
of Allah’s Apostle and they used to narrate those dreams to Allah’s Apostle.
Allah’s Apostle would interpret them as Allah wished. I was a young man and
used to stay in the mosque before my wedlock. I said to myself, “If there were
any good in myself, I too would see what these people see.” So when I went to
bed one night, I said, “O Allah! If you see any good in me, show me a good
dream.” So while I was in that state, there came to me (in a dream) two angels.
In the hand of each of them, there was a mace of iron, and both of them were
taking me to Hell, and I was between them, invoking Allah, “O Allah! I seek
refuge with You from Hell.” Then I saw myself being confronted by another angel
holding a mace of iron in his hand. He said to me, “Do not be afraid, you will
be an excellent man if you only pray more often.” So they took me till they
stopped me at the edge of Hell, and behold, it was built inside like a well and
it had side posts like those of a well, and beside each post there was an angel
carrying an iron mace. I saw therein many people hanging upside down with iron
chains, and I recognized therein some men from the Quraish. Then (the angels)
took me to the right side. I narrated this dream to (my sister) Hafsa and she
told it to Allah’s Apostle. Allah’s Apostle said, “No doubt, ‘Abdullah is a

Apostle said, “While I was sleeping, two golden bangles were put in my two
hands, so I got scared (frightened) and disliked it, but I was given permission
to blow them off, and they flew away. I interpret it as a symbol of two liars
who will appear.” ‘Ubaidullah said, “One of them was Al-‘Ansi who was killed by
Fairuz at Yemen and the other was Musailama (at Najd) .

The
Prophet said, “I saw in a dream that I was migrating from Mecca to a land where
there were date palm trees. I thought that it might be the land of Al-Yamama or
Hajar, but behold, it turned out to be Yathrib (i.e. Medina). And I saw cows (being
slaughtered) there, but the reward given by Allah is better (than worldly
benefits). Behold, those cows proved to symbolize the believers (who were
killed) on the Day (of the battle) of Uhud, and the good (which I saw in the
dream) was the good and the reward and the truth which Allah bestowed upon us
after the Badr battle. (or the Battle of Uhud) and that was the victory
bestowed by Allah in the Battle of Khaibar and the conquest of Mecca) .

was given the treasures of the world and two golden bangles were put in my
hands, but I felt much annoyed, and those two bangles distressed me very much,
but I was inspired that I should blow them off, so I blew them and they flew
away. Then I interpreted that those two bangles were the liars between whom I
was (i.e., the one of San’a’ and the one of Yamama).”

Salama:
I used to see a
dream which would make me sick till I heard Abu Qatada saying, “I too, used to
see a dream which would make me sick till I heard the Prophet saying, “A good
dream is from Allah, so if anyone of you saw a dream which he liked, he should
not tell it to anybody except to the one whom he loves, and if he saw a dream
which he disliked, then he should seek refuge with Allah from its evil and from
the evil of Satan, and spit three times (on his left) and should not tell it to
anybody, for it will not harm him. “

A
man came to Allah’s Apostle and said, “I saw in a dream, a cloud having shade.
Butter and honey were dropping from it and I saw the people gathering it in their
hands, some gathering much and some a little. And behold, there was a rope
extending from the earth to the sky, and I saw that you (the Prophet) held it
and went up, and then another man held it and went up and (after that) another
(third) held it and went up, and then after another (fourth) man held it, but
it broke and then got connected again.” Abu Bakr said, “O Allah’s Apostle! Let
my father be sacrificed for you! Allow me to interpret this dream.” The Prophet
said to him, “Interpret it.” Abu Bakr said, “The cloud with shade symbolizes
Islam, and the butter and honey dropping from it, symbolizes the Quran, its
sweetness dropping and some people learning much of the Qur’an and some a
little. The rope which is extended from the sky to the earth is the Truth which
you (the Prophet) are following. You follow it and Allah will raise you high
with it, and then another man will follow it and will rise up with it and
another person will follow it and then another man will follow it but it will
break and then it will be connected for him and he will rise up with it. O
Allah’s Apostle! Let my father be sacrificed for you! Am I right or wrong?” The
Prophet replied, “You are right in some of it and wrong in some.” Abu Bakr
said, “O Allah’s Prophet! By Allah, you must tell me in what I was wrong.” The
Prophet said, “Do not swear.”

## Narrated Samura bin Jundub:
Allah’s
Apostle very often used to ask his companions, “Did anyone of you see a dream?”
So dreams would be narrated to him by those whom Allah wished to tell. One
morning the Prophet said, “Last night two persons came to me (in a dream) and
woke me up and said to me, ‘Proceed!’ I set out with them and we came across a
man Lying down, and behold, another man was standing over his head, holding a
big rock. Behold, he was throwing the rock at the man’s head, injuring it. The
rock rolled away and the thrower followed it and took it back. By the time he
reached the man, his head returned to the normal state. The thrower then did the
same as he had done before. I said to my two companions, ‘Subhan Allah! Who are
these two persons?’ They said, ‘Proceed!’ So we proceeded and came to a man
Lying flat on his back and another man standing over his head with an iron
hook, and behold, he would put the hook in one side of the man’s mouth and tear
off that side of his face to the back (of the neck) and similarly tear his nose
from front to back and his eye from front to back. Then he turned to the other
side of the man’s face and did just as he had done with the other side. He
hardly completed this side when the other side returned to its normal state.
Then he returned to it to repeat what he had done before. I said to my two
companions, ‘Subhan Allah! Who are these two persons?’ They said to me,
‘Proceed!’ So we proceeded and came across something like a Tannur (a kind of
baking oven, a pit usually clay-lined for baking bread).” I think the Prophet
said, “In that oven there was much noise and voices.” The Prophet added, “We
looked into it and found naked men and women, and behold, a flame of fire was
reaching to them from underneath, and when it reached them, they cried loudly.
I asked them, ‘Who are these?’ They said to me, ‘Proceed!’ And so we proceeded
and came across a river.” I think he said, “.... red like blood.” The Prophet
added, “And behold, in the river there was a man swimming, and on the bank
there was a man who had collected many stones. Behold. while the other man was
swimming, he went near him. The former opened his mouth and the latter (on the
bank) threw a stone into his mouth whereupon he went swimming again. He
returned and every time the performance was repeated, I asked my two
companions, ‘Who are these (two) persons?’ They replied, ‘Proceed! Proceed!’
And we proceeded till we came to a man with a repulsive appearance, the most
repulsive appearance, you ever saw a man having! Beside him there was a fire
and he was kindling it and running around it. I asked my companions, ‘Who is
this (man)?’ They said to me, ‘Proceed! Proceed!’ So we proceeded till we
reached a garden of deep green dense vegetation, having all sorts of spring
colors. In the midst of the garden there was a very tall man and I could hardly
see his head because of his great height, and around him there were children in
such a large number as I have never seen. I said to my companions, ‘Who is
this?’ They replied, ‘Proceed! Proceed!’ So we proceeded till we came to a
majestic huge garden, greater and better than I have ever seen! My two
companions said to me, ‘Go up and I went up’ The Prophet added, “So we ascended
till we reached a city built of gold and silver bricks and we went to its gate
and asked (the gatekeeper) to open the gate, and it was opened and we entered
the city and found in it, men with one side of their bodies as handsome as the
handsomest person you have ever seen, and the other side as ugly as the ugliest
person you have ever seen. My two companions ordered those men to throw
themselves into the river. Behold, there was a river flowing across (the city),
and its water was like milk in whiteness. Those men went and threw themselves
in it and then returned to us after the ugliness (of their bodies) had
disappeared and they became in the best shape.” The Prophet further added, “My
two companions (angels) said to me, ‘This place is the Eden Paradise, and that
is your place.’ I raised up my sight, and behold, there I saw a palace like a
white cloud! My two companions said to me, ‘That (palace) is your place.’ I
said to them, ‘May Allah bless you both! Let me enter it.’ They replied, ‘As
for now, you will not enter it, but you shall enter it (one day) I said to
them, ‘I have seen many wonders tonight. What does all that mean which I have
seen?’ They replied, ‘We will inform you: As for the first man you came upon
whose head was being injured with the rock, he is the symbol of the one who
studies the Quran and then neither recites it nor acts on its orders, and
sleeps, neglecting the enjoined prayers. As for the man you came upon whose
sides of mouth, nostrils and eyes were torn off from front to back, he is the
symbol of the man who goes out of his house in the morning and tells so many
lies that it spreads all over the world. And those naked men and women whom you
saw in a construction resembling an oven, they are the adulterers and the
adulteresses;, and the man whom you saw swimming in the river and given a stone
to swallow, is the eater of usury (Riba) and the bad looking man whom you saw
near the fire kindling it and going round it, is Malik, the gatekeeper of Hell
and the tall man whom you saw in the garden, is Abraham and the children around
him are those children who die with Al-Fitra (the Islamic Faith).” The narrator
added: Some Muslims asked the Prophet, “O Allah’s Apostle! What about the
children of pagans?” The Prophet replied, “And also the children of pagans.”
The Prophet added, “My two companions added, ‘The men you saw half handsome and
half ugly were those persons who had mixed an act that was good with another
that was bad, but Allah forgave them.’”
