Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 32541 — The dream of Khuzaymah bin Thabit

It is narrated from Jarir bin Hazim that it was said to Muhammad bin Sirin (may Allah have mercy on him): "So-and-so laughs." He said: "Why should he not laugh, when one better than him has laughed? It was related to me that Sayyidah Aishah (may Allah be pleased with her) said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) laughed so much on hearing a man's dream that I never saw him laugh more at anything." Muhammad bin Sirin said: "I know what the dream was and what its interpretation is. That man saw that his head had been cut off and that he was going after it. The head means the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and the man wishes to reach the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) through his deeds, but he cannot reach him."
