اُردوEn
حَدَّثَنَا مُوسَى بْنُ خَالِدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي إِسْحَاق الْفَزَارِيِّ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنْ ابْنِ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ أَبِيتُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ وَلَمْ يَكُنْ لِي أَهْلٌ، فَرَأَيْتُ فِي الْمَنَامِ كَأَنَّمَا انْطُلِقَ بِي إِلَى بِئْرٍ فِيهَا رِجَالٌ مُعَلَّقُونَ، فَقِيلَ: انْطَلِقُوا بِهِ إِلَى ذَاتِ الْيَمِينِ . فَذَكَرْتُ الرُّؤْيَا لِحَفْصَةَ، فَقُلْتُ: قُصِّيهَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، فَقَصَّتْهَا عَلَيْهِ، فَقَالَ: "مَنْ رَأَى هَذِهِ ؟ قَالَتْ: ابْنُ عُمَرَ . فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: "نِعْمَ الْفَتَى أَوْ قَالَ: نِعْمَ الرَّجُلُ لَوْ كَانَ يُصَلِّي مِنْ اللَّيْلِ" . قَالَ: وَكُنْتُ إِذَا نِمْتُ لَمْ أَقُمْ حَتَّى أُصْبِحَ . قَالَ: فَكَانَ ابْنُ عُمَرَ يُصَلِّي اللَّيْلَ.
Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: I used to sleep in the Prophet’s Mosque because I had neither wife nor children. I saw in a dream as if I was taken to a well in which men were hanging. It was said: Take them to the right side (i.e., towards the people of Paradise). I narrated this dream to (my sister) Sayyida Hafsa (may Allah be pleased with her) and requested her to mention it to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). So she mentioned it to him, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “Who saw this dream?” She replied: (My brother) Ibn Umar. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “What an excellent young man he is,” or he said: “What an excellent man he is, if only he would pray at night.” Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) said: When I slept, I would not get up before Fajr. The narrator said: After that, Sayyiduna Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both) began to pray Tahajjud.
Brief Explanation
(Commentary on Ahadith 1436 to 1438)
From this hadith, the permissibility of sleeping in the mosque is established. Furthermore, the virtue of standing in prayer at night (qiyam al-layl, tahajjud) is understood, and that tahajjud is a means of salvation from the punishment of Hellfire. The virtue of Sayyiduna Ibn Umar radi Allahu anhuma and the respect and reverence of the Messenger of Allah sallallahu alayhi wa sallam are also evident. Out of awe, he did not ask himself but rather requested his sister to ask for its interpretation.
«رضي اللّٰه عنهم وأرضاهم.»
