حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ أَبِي عُمَرَ الْمَكِّيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ الثَّقَفِيُّ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ السَّخْتِيَانِيِّ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ

عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ: «إِذَا اقْتَرَبَ الزَّمَانُ لَمْ تَكَدْ رُؤْيَا الْمُسْلِمِ تَكْذِبُ وَأَصْدَقُكُمْ رُؤْيَا أَصْدَقُكُمْ حَدِيثًا وَرُؤْيَا الْمُسْلِمِ جُزْءٌ مِنْ خَمْسٍ وَأَرْبَعِينَ جُزْءًا مِنَ النُّبُوَّةِ وَالرُّؤْيَا ثَلَاثَةٌ فَرُؤْيَا الصَّالِحَةِ بُشْرَى مِنَ اللَّهِ وَرُؤْيَا تَحْزِينٌ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ وَرُؤْيَا مِمَّا يُحَدِّثُ الْمَرْءُ نَفْسَهُ فَإِنْ رَأَى أَحَدُكُمْ مَا يَكْرَهُ فَلْيَقُمْ فَلْيُصَلِّ وَلَا يُحَدِّثْ بِهَا النَّاسَ».

قَالَ: «وَأُحِبُّ الْقَيْدَ وَأَكْرَهُ الْغُلَّ وَالْقَيْدُ ثَبَاتٌ فِي الدِّينِ». فَلَا أَدْرِي هُوَ فِي الْحَدِيثِ أَمْ قَالَهُ ابْنُ سِيرِينَ

The Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alayhi wa sallam) said: When the time draws near (when the Resurrection is near) a believer’s dream can hardly be false. And the truest vision will be of one who is himself the most truthful in speech, for the vision of a Muslim is the forty-fifth part of Prophecy, and dreams are of three types: one good dream which is a sort of good tidings from Allah; the evil dream which causes pain is from the satan; and the third one is a suggestion of one’s own mind; so if any one of you sees a dream which he does not like he should stand up and offer prayer and he should not relate it to people, and he said: I would love to see fetters (in the dream), but I dislike wearing of necklace, for the fetters is (an indication of) one’s steadfastness in religion. The narrator said: I do not know whether this is a part of the hadith or the words of Ibn Sirin.

আমর ইবনু মুহাম্মাদ ইবনু বুকায়র আন নাকিদ (রহঃ) ..... আবূ সাঈদ আল খুদরী (রাযিঃ) থেকে বর্ণিত। নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেন, পাঁচ ওসাকের কম পরিমাণ শস্যে কোন যাকাত নেই, পাঁচ উটের কম সংখ্যায় কোন যাকাত নেই এবং পাঁচ উকিয়ার কমে (রৌপ্যের জন্য/পণ্যদ্রব্যের জন্য) যাকাত নেই।

سفیان بن عینیہ نے کہا : میں نے عمرو بن یحییٰ بن عمارہ سے پوچھا تو انھوں نے مجھے اپنے والد سے خبر دی ، انھوں نے حضرت ابو سعید خدری رضی اللہ تعالیٰ عنہ سے اور انھوں نے نبی کریم صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم سے روایت کی ، آپ صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم نے فرمایا : " پانچ وسق سے کم ( غلے یا کھجور ) میں صدقہ ( زکاۃ ) نہیں اور نہ پانچ سے کم اونٹوں میں صدقہ ہے اور نہ ہی پانچ اوقیہ سے کم ( چاندی ) میں صدقہ ہے ۔

Dan telah menceritakan kepadaku [Amru bin Muhammad bin Bukair An Naqid] Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Sufyan bin Uyainah] ia berkata, saya bertanya kepada [Amru bin Yahya bin Umarah] lalu ia mengabarkan kepadaku dari [bapaknya] dari [Abu Sa'id Al Khudri] dari Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam, beliau bersabda: "Tidak wajib dizakati bahan makanan pokok yang kurang dari lima Wasq (lima wasaq sama dengan enam puluh sha'), tidak pula pada binatang ternak yang kurang dari lima ekor, dan emas perak yang kurang dari lima uqiyah (lima uqiyah sama dengan dua ratus dirham)."

Dan telah menceritakan kepada kami [Muhammad bin Rumh bin Al Muhajir] telah mengabarkan kepada kami [Laits] -dalam jalur lain- Dan telah menceritakan kepadaku [Amru An Naqid] Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abdullah bin Idris] keduanya dari [Yahya bin Sa'id] dari [Amru bin Yahya] dengan isnad ini hadits yang semisal. Dan telah menceritakan kepada kami [Muhammad bin Rafi'] Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Abdurrazaq] telah mengabarkan kepada kami [Ibnu Juraij] telah mengabarkan kepadaku [Amru bin Yahya bin Umarah] dari [bapaknya] Yahya bin Umarah, ia berkata, saya mendengar [Abu Sa'id Al Khudri] berkata; Saya mendengar Rasulullah shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam bersabda.

Dan Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam memberi isyarat dengan tangannya beserta lima jari-jemarinya. Kemudian ia menyebutkan hadits yang serupa dengan haditsnya Ibnu Uyainah

Bana Amrü'bnü Muhammed b. Bükeyr En-Nâkıd rivayet etti. (Dediki): Bize, Süfyân b. Uyeyne rivayet etti. (Dediki): Amrü'bnü Yahya b. Umâra'a sordum da, bana babasından, o da Ebû Saîd-i Hudrî'den, o da Nebi (Sallallahu Aleyhi ve SelIem)'den naklen haber verdi; «Beş vesk'den azd'a zekât yoktur. Beş tane üçer yaşında deveden daha az da zekât yoktur; beş okiyye'den daha az dan gümüşte zekât yoktur.» buyurmuşlar

Sahih Muslim 2263a, Book 42, The Book of Dreams, Hadith 9. 1 min read

What it means

The dreams of believer at the end of time are true. It may be a dream about something that is happening in real life, or something that is going to happen, and then it happens exactly as in the dream. So, such a dream is considered like prophetic revelation in the truthfulness of its content or indication. "The dream of a believer is one part from forty-six parts of prophet-hood", i.e. from the parts of prophetic knowledge, considering that it includes information about the unseen.

Prophet-hood is gone but its knowledge remains. The number forty six was specified because the age of the Prophet (may Allah's peace and blessings be upon him) in the soundest narrations was sixty-three at the time of his death. His prophetic mission lasted for twenty-three years, as he was sent with the message of Islam at the age of forty.

For six months before the start of his mission, he used to see good dreams (visions), which would come true as clear as daylight. Then he saw the angel (Jibrīl) while awake. So, the ratio of the period of revelation received in dreams (six months) to the duration of his prophet-hood (twenty-three years) is one half to twenty three, which is equal to one part to forty six parts. His statement: "Those of you who have the most truthful dreams are those who are the most truthful in speech", means that if the person is truthful in his speech and close to Allah, then his dreams are mostly closest to being true.

This is why he specifically mentioned the righteous in the narration of Al-Bukhāri: "A good dream comes from a righteous man." As for the one who is not truthful in his speech and commits sins openly and secretly, then his dreams are mostly the result of the devil manipulating his mind. Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allah have mercy upon him) said: "Whoever wishes to have truthful dreams, then he should be truthful and eat from lawful earnings while observing Allah's commands and prohibitions, and let him go to sleep in a state of purification and face the Qiblah and say Dhikr until he falls asleep. If he does so, his dreams will hardly ever be false.”
