Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 32503 — Reports on the dreams the Prophet
٣٢٥٠٣ - حدثنا يزيد قال أخبرنا سفيان بن حسين عن الزهري عن (عبيد اللَّه) (١) بن عبد اللَّه بن عتبة عن ابن عباس قال: جاء رجل إلى النبي ﷺ فقال: إني رأيت ظلة (تنطف) (٢) سمنًا وعسلًا، وكان الناس يأخذون منها، فبين مستكثر ⦗٧١⦘ وبين مستقل وبين ذلك، وكان (سببًا) (٣) دُلى من السماء فجئتَ (فأخذتَ) (٤) به فعلوتَ، فأعلاك اللَّه، ثم جاء رجل من بعدك فأخذ به (فعلا) (٥) فأعلاه اللَّه، ثم جاء رجل من (بعدكما) (٦) فأخذ به (٧) فعلا فأعلاه اللَّه، [ثم جاء رجل من بعدكم فأخذ به (فانقطع) (٨) به ثم وصل له فعلا (فأعلاه اللَّه) (٩)] (١٠)، فقال أبو بكر: (ائذن لي يا رسول اللَّه) (١١) فاعبرها، فاذن له فقال: أما الظلة فالإسلام وأما السمن والعسل فالقرآن، وأما السبب فما أنت عليه، تعلو فيعليك اللَّه، ثم يكون رجل من بعدك على منهاجك فيعلو فيعليه اللَّه، ثم (يكون) (١٢) رجل من بعدكما فيأخذ بأخذكما فيعلو فيعليه اللَّه، ثم يكون رجل من بعدكم على منهاجكم ثم يقطع به ثم يوصل له فيعلو فيعليه اللَّه، قال: أصبتُ يا رسول اللَّه؟ قال: " (أصبتَ) (١٣) وأخطات"، قال: أقسمت يا رسول اللَّه لتخبرني قال: " (لا) (١٤) تقسم" (١٥).
It is narrated from Sayyiduna Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) that a man came to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: "I saw a cloud from which ghee and honey were dripping, and the people were taking from it. Some were taking much, some little, and some in between. Meanwhile a rope was let down from the sky. You came, took hold of that rope and climbed up, and Allah Almighty took you to the heights. Then a man came after you; he too took hold of the rope and began to climb, and Allah Almighty brought him too to the heights. Then another man came after the two of you; he took hold of the rope and began to climb, and Allah brought him too up. Then after the three of you a man took hold of that rope, and it was cut. Then it was joined again, and that man too began to climb, and Allah brought him too up." Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Permit me to give the interpretation of this dream." He gave him permission, and he said: "The cloud means Islam, and the ghee and honey mean the Qur'an. The rope means the path you are on, climbing on and on to the heights, and Allah Almighty will bring you to the heights. Then after you a man will walk in your footsteps and keep climbing to the heights, and Allah Almighty will bring him too up. Then a man will come after the two of you, walk in your footsteps and go towards the heights, and Allah Almighty will bring him too up. Then after the three of you a man will walk in your footsteps. Then an obstacle will come before him, and then that obstacle will be removed, so he will go towards the heights, and Allah Almighty will bring him too to the heights." After this he said: "O Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)! Did I give the right interpretation?" He said: "You were right in part of the interpretation and you also made a mistake." He said: "O Messenger of Allah! I adjure you to tell me." He said: "Do not adjure me."
