Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 38256 — Sayings of Ikrimah

Silah said: I saw Sayyiduna Abu Rifa'ah (may Allah be pleased with him) in a dream after he had been struck down, riding a swift she-camel while I was on a heavy, slow camel, striving along on his track. He would turn her towards me and I would say: Now I will make him hear my voice. Then he would let her go, and I would follow his track. I interpreted my dream to mean that I should take the path of Abu Rifa'ah, and so after him I exert myself greatly in good deeds.
