حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا سُفْيَانُ بْنُ عُيَيْنَةَ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الْمَلِكِ بْنِ عُمَيْرٍ ، عَنْ رِبْعِيِّ بْنِ حِرَاشٍ ، عَنْ حُذَيْفَةَ بْنِ الْيَمَانِ ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا مِنَ الْمُسْلِمِينَ رَأَى فِي النَّوْمِ ، أَنَّهُ لَقِيَ رَجُلًا مِنْ أَهْلِ الْكِتَابِ : فَقَالَ : نِعْمَ ، الْقَوْمُ أَنْتُمْ لَوْلَا أَنَّكُمْ تُشْرِكُونَ ، تَقُولُونَ : مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ ، وَشَاءَ مُحَمَّدٌ وَذَكَرَ ذَلِكَ لِلنَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : " أَمَا وَاللَّهِ إِنْ كُنْتُ لَأَعْرِفُهَا لَكُمْ قُولُوا : مَا شَاءَ اللَّهُ ، ثُمَّ شَاءَ مُحَمَّدٌ " .
´It was narrated from Hudhaifah bin Yaman that :` a Muslim man saw in a dream that he met a man from among the People of the Book, who said: "What good people you would be if only you were not committing Shirk. For you say: 'What Allah wills and Muhammad wills."' He mentioned that to the Prophet (ﷺ) and he said: "By Allah, I am aware of that. Say: 'What Allah wills then what Muhammad wills."'Another chain from Tufail bin Sakhbarah, the brother of 'Aishah by her mother, from the Prophet (ﷺ), with similar wording.
Explanation & Benefits
Maulana Ataullah Sajid
Benefits and Issues:
➊
"The one whom Allah, then Muhammad (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), wills."
This means that only what Allah wills shall occur.
The will of the other person is subject to Allah's will.
To consider the will of both (the Creator and the created) as one and the same at the same time is truly shirk (associating partners with Allah).
However, after the correction by the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam), the suspicion of shirk is removed; for this reason, this narration is considered hasan (good) by some and sahih (authentic) by others.
➋
One should avoid such words that could give rise to an inappropriate meaning.
➌
Legal (shar‘i) rulings are not established from dreams, but if there is an indication in a dream that does not contradict the teachings of the Qur’an and Hadith, then there is no harm in acting upon it.
➍
The noble Companions (radi Allahu anhum) used to narrate their dreams to the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) so that they could receive their interpretation and know whether the content of the dream was worthy of acceptance or not.
