Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 32537 — The dream of Khuzaymah bin Thabit

It is narrated from Ali bin Zayd (may Allah have mercy on him) and Abu Imran al-Jawni (may Allah have mercy on him) that Sayyiduna Samurah bin Jundub (may Allah be pleased with him) said to Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him): "I saw in a dream that I was twisting a rope, and when I had twisted it I put it down beside me, and small sheep were eating it." Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "You will marry a woman who has a son, and he will consume your earnings." He said: "I saw a bull that came out of a hole but could not then go back into it." Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) replied: "This is the great word that comes out of a man's mouth, and he has no power to take it back." He said: "I saw as though it was being said that the Dajjal was coming out, and I began to hide behind walls. Suddenly I looked behind me and saw that the earth had split open for me, so I entered it." Sayyiduna Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "You will meet with difficulties in your religion, and the Dajjal will come soon after you."
