It is narrated from Sayyiduna Jabir (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) once said: I saw in a dream that a basket of dates was brought to me. I put it in my mouth and chewed it, but I felt a pit in it which caused me discomfort, so I spat it out. Then I picked up another date and put it in my mouth, and the same thing happened again. The third time, it happened again. Sayyiduna Abu Bakr as-Siddiq said: Allow me to interpret this. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: You may interpret it. He said: By this is meant your army which you have sent; they will return safely with spoils of war. They will encounter a man who will plead with them by your beard, and they will let him go. This will happen three times. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The angel gave the same interpretation.
