Mu'jam Kabir Tabarani 13986 — I entered the mosque of Madinah

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللهِ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ حَمَّادٍ الْحَضْرَمِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو أُسَامَةَ، ح وَحَدَّثَنَا إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ نَائِلَةَ الْأَصْبَهَانِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي بَكْرٍ الْمُقَدَّمِيُّ، قَالَا: حَدَّثَنَا أَزْهَرُ، كِلَاهُمَا عَنِ ابْنِ عَوْنٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ عَبَّادٍ قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ مَسْجِدَ الْمَدِينَةِ، فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَتَجَوَّزَ فِيهِمَا، عَلَيْهِ أَثَرٌ مِنَ الْخُشُوعِ، فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ: مَنْ سَرَّهُ أَنْ يَنْظُرَ إِلَى رَجُلٍ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ فَلْيَنْظُرْ إِلَى هَذَا، فَاتَّبَعْتُهُ فَأَخْبَرْتُهُ، فَقَالَ: سُبْحَانَ اللهِ مَا يَنْبَغِي لِأَحَدٍ أَنْ يَقُولَ مَا لَا يَعْلَمُ، وَسَأُحَدِّثُكَ لِمَ ذَلِكَ؟ إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ رُؤْيَا فَقَصَصْتُهَا عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، رَأَيْتُ كَأَنِّي فِي رَوْضَةٍ، فَذَكَرَ مِنْ سَعَتِهَا، وَحُسْنِهَا، وَخَضَرِهَا، فِي وَسَطِهَا عَمُودٌ مِنْ حَدِيدٍ أَسْفَلُهُ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَأَعْلَاهُ فِي السَّمَاءِ، فِي رَأْسِهِ عُرْوَةٌ، فَقَالَ لِي: اصْعَدْ، فَقُلْتُ: لَا أَسْتَطِيعُ، فَأَتَانِي مَنْصِبٌ، فَقَالَ بِثِيَابِي أَيْ مِنْ خَلْقِي فَضَرَبَ فِي أَعْلَاهَا، فَقَالَ: اسْتَمْسِكْ فَاسْتَيْقَظْتُ، وَإِنَّهَا لَفِي يَدَيَّ، فَقَصَصْتُهَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَالَ: «الرَّوْضَةُ الْإِسْلَامُ، وَالْعَمُودُ عَمُودُ الْإِسْلَامِ، وَالْعُرْوُةُ الْوُثْقَى، فَأَنْتَ عَلَى الْإِسْلَامِ» . فَإِذَا هُوَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَلَامٍ
Qays bin Abbad (may Allah have mercy on him) said: I entered the mosque of Madinah, and a man came and prayed two light rak'ahs; there were signs of humility upon him. A man said: "Whoever would like to look at a man of the people of Paradise, let him look at this man." I followed him and told him this, and he said: "Subhan Allah! No one should say something of which he has no knowledge, and I will tell you why this was said: I saw a dream and related it to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). I saw as though I was in a garden" — then he mentioned its vastness, beauty and greenery — "in its middle was a pillar of iron, its lower part in the earth and its upper part in the sky, and at its top was a ring. I was told: 'Climb.' I said: 'I cannot climb.' Then a helper came to me, took hold of my clothes - that is, from behind me - and pushed me upwards, then said: 'Hold on firmly.' I woke up and the ring was still in my hands. I related this dream to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'The garden is Islam, the pillar is the pillar of Islam, and the ring is the firmest handhold (al-'urwah al-wuthqa); so you are upon Islam.'" And that man was Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him).
