Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 32543 — The dream of Khuzaymah bin Thabit

It is narrated from Nafi' that Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) saw in a dream that an angel set off with him towards the Fire. Another angel met him and began to forbid that angel, and he said to me: "Do not be afraid. What an excellent man this is, if only he would pray during part of the night." The narrator says that after this he used to offer long prayers at night. Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: "He took me near to Hell, and I was saying: 'I seek refuge with Allah from the Fire.' I saw that it was like a room whose lower part is wide and whose upper part is narrow, and I saw many men of Quraysh, whom I recognised, hanging in it upside down by their feet."
