Majma al-Zawaid — Hadith 240

Sayyiduna Abu Umamah al-Bahili (may Allah be pleased with him) narrates: After the dawn prayer the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) came to us and said: "I have seen a dream that is true, so remember it. A man came to me, took my hand and set off with me until he came to a tall, rugged mountain. He said to me: Climb it. I said: I cannot do that. He said: I will make it easy for you. When I began to climb, my foot would land on a step, until we reached the top of the mountain. We were walking along when some men and women came before us whose cheeks had been split. I asked: Who are these people? He said: These are those who used to say things of which they had no knowledge. Then we went on until some men and women came before us whose eyes and ears were fixed. I asked: Who are these people? He said: These are those who used to make their eyes see what they had not seen (that is, they related false dreams) and make their ears hear what they had not heard (that is, they falsely claimed to have heard something). Then we went on until some women came before us who were hung by their heels, their heads downward, with snakes biting their breasts. I asked: Who are these? (The angel) said: These are the women who would not let their children drink their milk." (The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) says:) "Then we went on, and some men and women came before us who were hung by their heels, their heads downward, licking a little water and mud. I asked: Who are these? He said: These are those who used to fast and then end their fast before the time of breaking it had come. Then we went on, and some men and women came before us whose appearance was extremely ugly, whose clothing was extremely ugly and whose smell was extremely foul, as if their smell were the smell of latrines. I asked: Who are these people? He said: These are the men who commit fornication and the women who commit fornication. Then we went on, and some dead bodies came before us, extremely swollen and extremely foul-smelling. I asked: Who are these people? He said: These are the dead of the disbelievers. Then we went on until we saw smoke and heard howling. I asked: What is this? He said: This is Hell; leave it. Then we went on, and some people came before us sleeping in the shade of a tree. I asked: Who are these people? He said: These are the deceased of the Muslims. Then we went on, and some boys and girls came before us, playing between two rivers. I asked: Who are these? He said: These are the offspring of the believers (that is, the children of Muslims who died in childhood). Then we went on, and some people came before us whose faces were beautiful, whose clothing was beautiful and whose fragrance was most pure; their faces seemed like qirtas (this can mean paper, or a particular Egyptian cloth). I asked: Who are these? He said: These are the truthful (siddiqun), the martyrs and the righteous. Then we went on, and three people came before us who were drinking a drink and reciting something (melodiously). I asked: Who are these? He said: These are Zayd bin Harithah, Ja'far (al-Tayyar) and Ibn Rawahah. I began to move towards them, and they (that is, the angels) said: We will take you along, we will take you along. I raised my head, and there were three people beneath the Throne. I asked: Who are these? He said: This is your forefather Sayyiduna Ibrahim (peace be upon him), and Sayyiduna Musa (peace be upon him) and Sayyiduna Isa (peace be upon him), and they are waiting for you." (The narrator says:) May the mercies of Allah Almighty descend upon them all.
