Hadith 1437
Sayyiduna Abu Dharr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: I was sleeping in the (Prophet’s) mosque when the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) came to me and, alerting me with his blessed foot, said: Do I not see you sleeping here? I replied: O Messenger of Allah! My eyes had become heavy with sleep.
Hadith 1438
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.
