اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ يَحْيَى , حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ , أَنْبَأَنَا مَعْمَرٌ , عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ , عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ , عَنْ ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ , قَالَ : كَانَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ يُحَدِّثُ , أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ , فَقَالَ : يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ , رَأَيْتُ ظُلَّةً بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَالْأَرْضِ تَنْطِفُ سَمْنًا وَعَسَلًا , فَذَكَرَ الْحَدِيثَ نَحْوَهُ .
With this chain also, Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) says that Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) used to narrate that a man came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: O Messenger of Allah! I saw a shadow (a piece of cloud) between the sky and the earth, from which honey and ghee were dripping, then the narrator mentioned the rest of the hadith in the same way.

Benefits and Issues:
➊
True and excellent dreams have been declared as the forty-sixth part of Prophethood for the believer, and through them, a servant is informed of certain matters or warned about certain affairs.
➋
In the aforementioned dream, there was an indication towards the Caliphate of Prophethood, which our master Abu Bakr as-Siddiq radi Allahu anhu rightly understood. What was the mistake in this? So, to pursue this matter is absolutely not permissible. When the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam did not clarify it explicitly, then what right does anyone else have to say anything based on conjecture and estimation?
➌
If someone is asked to swear by using the word "oath," its fulfillment does not become obligatory.
➍
It is permissible for a student or a junior, with the permission of his teacher or elder, to answer a question or to discuss it in his presence. This will not be considered disrespectful. However, to speak without permission will indeed be considered disrespectful.

Benefits and Issues:
➊
With the permission of an elder or teacher, an ordinary person or student may interpret (a dream).
➋
By “holding the rope” is meant acting upon the religion, and the three elders holding this rope refers to being appointed to the position of succession and caliphate in the place of the Prophet (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam).
➌
The rope breaking for Uthman (radi Allahu anhu) after Abu Bakr and Umar (radi Allahu anhuma) points to the difficulties and tribulations that he faced. And after the rope is rejoined and he ascends by means of it, this likely indicates that he will be upon the truth in this tribulation; therefore, he will be in Paradise along with the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) and both Rightly Guided Caliphs (radi Allahu anhuma).
➍
For some wisdom, it is permissible to explain only part of a dream’s interpretation and not another part, just as the Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) did not clarify the mistake that occurred in Abu Bakr’s (radi Allahu anhu) interpretation.
➎
In this true dream, the greatness and status of the three caliphs is expressed.
