- (إنّي رأيتُ في منامي؛ كأنّ بني الحكمِ بن أبي العاصِ يَنْزُونَ على منْبري كما تنزُو القردةُ) .
The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: "I saw in a dream that the Banu Hakam bin Abu al-As were jumping on my pulpit like monkeys." This hadith has been narrated from Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah and Sayyiduna Thawban (may Allah be pleased with them both), and from Sa'id bin al-Musayyib in mursal form. Sayyiduna Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated these words along with the aforementioned hadith: The Noble Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) was never seen laughing loudly until his death.
