Narrated 'Aisha:
The commencement
of the Divine Inspiration to Allah's Apostle was in the form of good righteous
(true) dreams in his sleep. He never had a dream but that it came true like
bright day light. He used to go in seclusion (the cave of) Hira where he used
to worship(Allah Alone) continuously for many (days) nights. He used to take
with him the journey food for that (stay) and then come back to (his wife)
Khadija to take his food like-wise again for another period to stay, till
suddenly the Truth descended upon him while he was in the cave of Hira. The
angel came to him in it and asked him to read. The Prophet replied, "I do
not know how to read." (The Prophet added), "The angel caught me
(forcefully) and pressed me so hard that I could not bear it anymore. He then
released me and again asked me to read, and I replied, "I do not know how
to read," whereupon he caught me again and pressed me a second time till I
could not bear it anymore. He then released me and asked me again to read, but
again I replied, "I do not know how to read (or, what shall I
read?)." Thereupon he caught me for the third time and pressed me and then
released me and said, "Read: In the Name of your Lord, Who has created
(all that exists). Has created man from a clot. Read and Your Lord is Most Generous...up
to..... ..that which he knew not." (96.15)
Then Allah's
Apostle returned with the Inspiration, his neck muscles twitching with terror
till he entered upon Khadija and said, "Cover me! Cover me!" They
covered him till his fear was over and then he said, "O Khadija, what is
wrong with me?" Then he told her everything that had happened and said, 'I
fear that something may happen to me." Khadija said, 'Never! But have the
glad tidings, for by Allah, Allah will never disgrace you as you keep good reactions
with your Kith and kin, speak the truth, help the poor and the destitute, serve
your guest generously and assist the deserving, calamity-afflicted ones."
Khadija then accompanied him to (her cousin) Waraqa bin Naufal bin Asad bin
'Abdul 'Uzza bin Qusai. Waraqa was the son of her paternal uncle, i.e., her
father's brother, who during the Pre-Islamic Period became a Christian and used
to write the Arabic writing and used to write of the Gospels in Arabic as much
as Allah wished him to write. He was an old man and had lost his eyesight.
Khadija said to him, "O my cousin! Listen to the story of your
nephew." Waraqa asked, "O my nephew! What have you seen?" The
Prophet described whatever he had seen.
Waraqa said,
"This is the same Namus (i.e., Gabriel, the Angel who keeps the secrets)
whom Allah had sent to Moses. I wish I were young and could live up to the time
when your people would turn you out." Allah's Apostle asked, "Will
they turn me out?" Waraqa replied in the affirmative and said: "Never
did a man come with something similar to what you have brought but was treated
with hostility. If I should remain alive till the day when you will be turned
out then I would support you strongly." But after a few days Waraqa died
and the Divine Inspiration was also paused for a while and the Prophet became
so sad as we have heard that he intended several times to throw himself from
the tops of high mountains and every time he went up the top of a mountain in
order to throw himself down, Gabriel would appear before him and say, "O
Muhammad! You are indeed Allah's Apostle in truth" whereupon his heart
would become quiet and he would calm down and would return home. And whenever
the period of the coming of the inspiration used to become long, he would do as
before, but when he used to reach the top of a mountain, Gabriel would appear
before him and say to him what he had said before. (Ibn 'Abbas said regarding
the meaning of: 'He it is that Cleaves the daybreak (from the darkness)' (6.96)
that Al-Asbah. means the light of the sun during the day and the light of the
moon at night).

refuge with Allah from its evil, and he should not mention it to anybody, for
it will not harm him."

its sort, and he had combed his hair and water was dropping from it, and he was
performing the Tawaf around the Ka'ba while he was leaning on two men or on the
shoulders of two men. I asked, 'Who is this man?' Somebody replied, '(He is)
Messiah, son of Mary.' Then I saw another man with very curly hair, blind in
the right eye which looked like a protruding out grape. I asked, 'Who is this?'
Somebody replied, '(He is) Messiah, Ad-Dajjal.'"

smiling. Um Haram asked, "What makes you smile, O Allah's Apostle?"
He said, "Some of my followers were presented before me in my dream as
fighters in Allah's Cause, sailing in the middle of the seas like kings on the
thrones or like kings sitting on their thrones." (The narrator Ishaq is
not sure as to which expression was correct). Um Haram added, 'I said, "O
Allah's Apostle! Invoke Allah, to make me one of them;" So Allah's Apostle
invoked Allah for her and then laid his head down (and slept). Then he woke up
smiling (again). (Um Haram added): I said, "What makes you smile, O Allah's
Apostle?" He said, "Some people of my followers were presented before
me (in a dream) as fighters in Allah's Cause." He said the same as he had
said before. I said, "O Allah's Apostle! Invoke Allah to make me from
them." He said, "You are among the first ones." Then Um Haram
sailed over the sea during the Caliphate of Muawiya bin Abu Sufyan, and she
fell down from her riding animal after coming ashore, and died.

woman who had given a pledge of allegiance to Allah's Apostle told me:,
"The Muhajirln (emigrants) were distributed amongst us by drawing lots,
and we got 'Uthman bin Maz'un in our share. We made him stay with us in our
house. Then he suffered from a disease which proved fatal. When he died and was
given a bath and was shrouded in his clothes. Allah's Apostle came, I said,
(addressing the dead body), 'O Aba As-Sa'ib! May Allah be Merciful to you! I
testify that Allah has honored you.' Allah's Apostle said, 'How do you know
that Allah has honored him?" I replied, 'Let my father be sacrificed for
you, O Allah's Apostle! On whom else shall Allah bestow. His honor?' Allah's
Apostle said, 'As for him, by Allah, death has come to him. By Allah, I wish
him all good (from Allah). By Allah, in spite of the fact that I am Allah's
Apostle, I do not know what Allah will do to me.", Um Al-'Ala added,
"By Allah, I will never attest the righteousness of anybody after
that."

so-and-so." He replied, "Subhan Allah! They ought not to have said
things of which they have no knowledge, but I saw (in a dream) that a post was
fixed in a green garden. At the top of the post there was a handhold and below
it there was a servant. I was asked to climb (the post). So I climbed it till I
got hold of the handhold." Then I narrated this dream to Allah's Apostle.
Allah's Apostle said, "'Abdullah will die while still holding the firm
reliable handhold (i.e., Islam)."
Narrated 'Aisha:
Allah's Apostle
said (to me), "You were shown to me twice in (my) dream. Behold, a man was

is from Allah, then it must happen.' "

Allah, then it must happen.' Then you were shown to me, the angel carrying you
in a silken piece of cloth, and I said (to him), 'Uncover (her), and behold, it
was you. I said (to myself), 'If this is from Allah, then it must happen.'

expression carrying the widest meanings), and I was made victorious with awe
(caste into the hearts of the enemy), and while I was sleeping, the keys of the
treasures of the earth were brought to me and were put in my hand."
Muhammad said, Jawami'-al-Kalim means that Allah expresses in one or two
statements or thereabouts the numerous matters that used to be written in the
books revealed before (the coming of) the Prophet .
Narrated
'Abdullah bin Salam:
(In a dream) I
saw myself in a garden, and there was a pillar in the middle of the garden, and
there was a handhold at the top of the pillar. I was asked to climb it. I said,
"I cannot." Then a servant came and lifted up my clothes and I climbed
(the pillar), and then got hold of the handhold, and I woke up while still
holding it. I narrated that to the Prophet who said, "The garden
symbolizes the garden of Islam, and the handhold is the firm Islamic handhold
which indicates that you will be adhering firmly to Islam until you die."
Narrated Ibn
'Umar:
I saw in a dream
a piece of silken cloth in my hand, and in whatever direction in Paradise I
waved it, it flew, carrying me there. I narrated this (dream) to (my sister)

brother is a righteous man," or, "Indeed, 'Abdullah is a righteous
man."
Narrated Abu
Huraira:
Allah's Apostle
said, "When the Day of Resurrection approaches, the dreams of a believer
will hardly fail to come true, and a dream of a believer is one of forty-six
parts of prophetism, and whatever belongs to prothetism can never be
false." Muhammad bin Sirin said, "But I say this." He said, "It
used to be said, 'There are three types of dreams: The reflection of one's
thoughts and experiences one has during wakefulness, what is suggested by Satan
to frighten the dreamer, or glad tidings from Allah. So, if someone has a dream
which he dislikes, he should not tell it to others, but get up and offer a
prayer." He added, "He (Abu Huraira) hated to see a Ghul (i.e., iron
collar around his neck in a dream) and people liked to see fetters (on their
feet in a dream). The fetters on the feet symbolizes one's constant and firm
adherence to religion." And Abu 'Abdullah said, "Ghuls (iron collars)
are used only for necks."

Um Al-'Ala an
Ansari woman who had given the Pledge of allegiance to Allah's Apostle said,
"'Uthman bin Maz'un came in our share when the Ansars drew lots to
distribute the emigrants (to dwell) among themselves, He became sick and we
looked after (nursed) him till he died. Then we shrouded him in his clothes.
Allah's Apostle came to us, I (addressing the dead body) said, "May
Allah's Mercy be on you, O Aba As-Sa'ib! I testify that Allah has honored
you." The Prophet said, 'How do you know that?' I replied, 'I do not know,
by Allah.' He said, 'As for him, death has come to him and I wish him all good
from Allah. By Allah, though I am Allah's Apostle, I neither know what will
happen to me, nor to you.'" Um Al-'Ala said, "By Allah, I will never
attest the righteousness of anybody after that." She added, "Later I
saw in a dream, a flowing spring for 'Uthman. So I went to Allah's Apostle and
mentioned that to him. He said, 'That is (the symbol of) his good deeds (the
reward for) which is going on for him.' "
Narrated Ibn
'Umar:
Allah's Apostle
said, "(I saw in a dream that) while I was standing at a well and drawing
water therefrom, suddenly Abu Bakr and 'Umar came to me. Abu Bakr took the
bucket and drew one or two buckets (full of water), but there was weakness in
his pulling, but Allah forgave him. Then Ibn Al-Khattab took the bucket from
Abu Bakr's hand and the bucket turned into a very large one in his hand. I have
never seen any strong man among the people doing such a hard job as 'Umar did,
till (the people drank to their satisfaction) and water their camels to their
fill and they sat near the water."
Narrated Salim's
father:
about the
Prophet's dream in which he has seen Abu Bakr and 'Umar: The Prophet said,
"I saw (in a dream) that the people had gathered. Then Abu Bakr stood up
and pulled out one or two buckets full of water (from a well) and there was
weakness in his pulling -- may Allah forgive him. Then Ibn Al-Khattab stood up,
and the bucket turned into a very large one and I have never seen any strong
man among the people doing such a hard job. He pulled out so much water that
the people (drank to their satisfaction) and watered their camels to their
fill, (and then after quenching their thirst) they sat beside the water."
Narrated Abu
Huraira:
Allah's Apostle
said, "While I was sleeping, I saw myself standing at a well over which
there was a bucket. I pulled out from it as many buckets of water as Allah
wished, and then Ibn Abi Quhafa (Abu Bakr) took the bucket from me and pulled
out one or two full buckets, and there was weakness in his pull--may Allah
forgive him. Then the bucket turned into a very large one and 'Umar bin
Al-Khattab took it. I have never seen any strong man among the people, drawing
water with such strength as 'Umar did, till the people (drank to their
satisfaction and) watered their camels to their fill; whereupon the camels sat
beside the water."
Narrated Abu
Huraira:
Allah's Apostle
said, "While I was sleeping, I saw myself standing over a tank (well)
giving water to the people to drink. Then Abu Bakr came to me and took the
bucket from me in order to relieve me and he pulled out one or two full
buckets, and there was weakness in his pulling --may Allah forgive him. Then
Ibn Al-Khattab took it from him and went on drawing water till the people left
(after being satisfied) while the tank was over flowing with water."
Narrated Abu
Huraira:
We were sitting
with Allah's Apostle, he said, "While I was sleeping, I saw myself in
Paradise. Suddenly I saw a woman performing ablution beside a palace. I asked,
"For whom is this palace?" They (the angels) replied, "It is for
'Umar bin Al-Khattab." Then I remembered 'Umar's ghira and went back
hurriedly." On hearing that, 'Umar started weeping and said, " Let my
father and mother be sacrificed for you. O Allah's Apostle! How dare I think of
my Ghira being offended by you?
Narrated Jabir bin
'Abdullah:

said: (I saw in a dream that) I entered Paradise, and behold, there was a
palace built of gold! I asked, 'For whom is this palace?' They (the angels)
replied, 'For a man from the Quraish.' " The Prophet added, "O Ibn
Al-Khattab! Nothing stopped me from entering it except your Ghira." 'Umar
said, "How dare I think of my Ghira being offended by you, O Allah's
Apostle?"

Ka'ba. Behold, there I saw a whitish-red lank-haired man (holding himself)
between two men with water dropping from his hair. I asked, 'Who is this?' The
people replied, 'He is the son of Mary.' Then I turned my face to see another
man with red complexion, big body, curly hair, and blind in the right eye which
looked like a protruding out grape. I asked, 'Who is he?' They replied, 'He is
Ad-Dajjal.' Ibn Qatan resembles him more than anybody else among the people and

'Abdullah bin 'Umar:
I heard Allah's
Apostle saying, "While I was sleeping, I saw a bowl full of milk was
brought to me and I drank of it (to my fill) till I noticed its wetness flowing
(in my body). Then I gave the remaining of it to 'Umar." They asked,
"O Allah's Apostle! What have you interpreted (about the dream)? He said,
"(It is Religious) knowledge." (See Hadith No. 134)
Narrated Ibn
'Umar:
Men from the
companions of Allah's Apostle used to see dreams during the lifetime of Allah's
Apostle and they used to narrate those dreams to Allah's Apostle. Allah's
Apostle would interpret them as Allah wished. I was a young man and used to
stay in the mosque before my wedlock. I said to myself, "If there were any
good in myself, I too would see what these people see." So when I went to
bed one night, I said, "O Allah! If you see any good in me, show me a good
dream." So while I was in that state, there came to me (in a dream) two
angels. In the hand of each of them, there was a mace of iron, and both of them
were taking me to Hell, and I was between them, invoking Allah, "O Allah!
I seek refuge with You from Hell." Then I saw myself being confronted by
another angel holding a mace of iron in his hand. He said to me, "Do not
be afraid, you will be an excellent man if you only pray more often." So
they took me till they stopped me at the edge of Hell, and behold, it was built
inside like a well and it had side posts like those of a well, and beside each
post there was an angel carrying an iron mace. I saw therein many people
hanging upside down with iron chains, and I recognized therein some men from
the Quraish. Then (the angels) took me to the right side. I narrated this dream
to (my sister) Hafsa and she told it to Allah's Apostle. Allah's Apostle said,
"No doubt, 'Abdullah is a good man." (Nafi' said, "Since then
'Abdullah bin 'Umar used to pray much.)
Narrated Ibn
'Umar:
I was a young
unmarried man during the lifetime of the Prophet. I used to sleep in the
mosque. Anyone who had a dream, would narrate it to the Prophet. I said,
"O Allah! If there is any good for me with You, then show me a dream so
that Allah's Apostle may interpret it for me." So I slept and saw (in a
dream) two angels came to me and took me along with them, and they met another
angel who said to me, "Don't be afraid, you are a good man." They
took me towards the Fire, and behold, it was built inside like a well, and
therein I saw people some of whom I recognized, and then the angels took me to
the right side. In the morning, I mentioned that dream to Hafsa. Hafsa told me
that she had mentioned it to the Prophet and he said, "'Abdullah is a
righteous man if he only prays more at night." (Az-Zuhri said, "After
that, 'Abdullah used to pray more at night.")
Narrated
'Abdullah bin 'Umar:
I heard Allah's
Apostle saying, "While I was sleeping, I saw that a cup full of milk was
brought to me and I drank of it and gave the remaining of it to 'Umar bin

Allah's Apostle?" The Prophet said. "(It is Religious) knowledge."
Narrated
'Abdullah bin 'Abbas:
Allah's Apostle
said, "While I was sleeping, two golden bangles were put in my two hands,
so I got scared (frightened) and disliked it, but I was given permission to
blow them off, and they flew away. I interpret it as a symbol of two liars who
will appear." 'Ubaidullah said, "One of them was Al-'Ansi who was
killed by Fairuz at Yemen and the other was Musailama (at Najd) .
Narrated Abu
Musa:
The Prophet said,
"I saw in a dream that I was migrating from Mecca to a land where there
were date palm trees. I thought that it might be the land of Al-Yamama or
Hajar, but behold, it turned out to be Yathrib (i.e. Medina). And I saw cows
(being slaughtered) there, but the reward given by Allah is better (than
worldly benefits). Behold, those cows proved to symbolize the believers (who
were killed) on the Day (of the battle) of Uhud, and the good (which I saw in
the dream) was the good and the reward and the truth which Allah bestowed upon
us after the Badr battle. (or the Battle of Uhud) and that was the victory
bestowed by Allah in the Battle of Khaibar and the conquest of Mecca) .
Narrated Abu
Huraira:
Allah's Apostle said,
"We (Muslims) are the last (to come) but (will be) the foremost (on the
Day of Resurrection)." Allah's Apostle further said, ''While sleeping, I
was given the treasures of the world and two golden bangles were put in my
hands, but I felt much annoyed, and those two bangles distressed me very much,
but I was inspired that I should blow them off, so I blew them and they flew
away. Then I interpreted that those two bangles were the liars between whom I
was (i.e., the one of San'a' and the one of Yamama)."
Narrated
'Abdullah:
The Prophet said,
"I saw (in a dream) a black woman with unkempt hair going out of Medina

dream of the Prophet in Medina: The Prophet said, "I saw (in a dream) a

Narrated Abu
Musa:
The Prophet said,
"I saw in a dream that I waved a sword and it broke in the middle, and
behold, that symbolized the casualties the believers suffered on the Day (of
the battle) of Uhud. Then I waved the sword again, and it became better than it
had ever been before, and behold, that symbolized the Conquest (of Mecca) which
Allah brought about and the gathering of the believers. "
Narrated Ibn
Abbas:
The Prophet said,
"Whoever claims to have seen a dream which he did not see, will be ordered
to make a knot between two barley grains which he will not be able to do; and
if somebody listens to the talk of some people who do not like him (to listen)
or they run away from him, then molten lead will be poured into his ears on the
Day of Resurrection; and whoever makes a picture, will be punished on the Day
of Resurrection and will be ordered to put a soul in that picture, which he
will not be able to do."
Narrated Ibn
'Abbas:
as above, 165.
Narrated Ibn
'Umar:
Allah's Apostle
said, "The worst lie is that a person claims to have seen a dream which he
has not seen."
Narrated Abu
Salama:
I used to see a
dream which would make me sick till I heard Abu Qatada saying, "I too,
used to see a dream which would make me sick till I heard the Prophet saying,
"A good dream is from Allah, so if anyone of you saw a dream which he
liked, he should not tell it to anybody except to the one whom he loves, and if
he saw a dream which he disliked, then he should seek refuge with Allah from
its evil and from the evil of Satan, and spit three times (on his left) and
should not tell it to anybody, for it will not harm him. "
Narrated Abu
Sa'id Al-Khudri:
I heard Allah's
Apostle saying, "If anyone of you saw a dream which he liked, then that
was from Allah, and he should thank Allah for it and tell it to others; but if
he saw something else, i.e, a dream which he did not like, then that is from
Satan and he should seek refuge with Allah from it and should not tell it to
anybody for it will not harm him."
Narrated Ibn
'Abbas:
A man came to
Allah's Apostle and said, "I saw in a dream, a cloud having shade. Butter
and honey were dropping from it and I saw the people gathering it in their
hands, some gathering much and some a little. And behold, there was a rope
extending from the earth to the sky, and I saw that you (the Prophet) held it
and went up, and then another man held it and went up and (after that) another
(third) held it and went up, and then after another (fourth) man held it, but it
broke and then got connected again." Abu Bakr said, "O Allah's
Apostle! Let my father be sacrificed for you! Allow me to interpret this
dream." The Prophet said to him, "Interpret it." Abu Bakr said,
"The cloud with shade symbolizes Islam, and the butter and honey dropping
from it, symbolizes the Quran, its sweetness dropping and some people learning
much of the Qur'an and some a little. The rope which is extended from the sky
to the earth is the Truth which you (the Prophet) are following. You follow it and
Allah will raise you high with it, and then another man will follow it and will
rise up with it and another person will follow it and then another man will
follow it but it will break and then it will be connected for him and he will
rise up with it. O Allah's Apostle! Let my father be sacrificed for you! Am I
right or wrong?" The Prophet replied, "You are right in some of it
and wrong in some." Abu Bakr said, "O Allah's Prophet! By Allah, you
must tell me in what I was wrong." The Prophet said, "Do not swear."
Narrated Samura
bin Jundub:
Allah's Apostle
very often used to ask his companions, "Did anyone of you see a
dream?" So dreams would be narrated to him by those whom Allah wished to
tell. One morning the Prophet said, "Last night two persons came to me (in
a dream) and woke me up and said to me, 'Proceed!' I set out with them and we
came across a man Lying down, and behold, another man was standing over his
head, holding a big rock. Behold, he was throwing the rock at the man's head,
injuring it. The rock rolled away and the thrower followed it and took it back.
By the time he reached the man, his head returned to the normal state. The
thrower then did the same as he had done before. I said to my two companions,
'Subhan Allah! Who are these two persons?' They said, 'Proceed!' So we
proceeded and came to a man Lying flat on his back and another man standing
over his head with an iron hook, and behold, he would put the hook in one side
of the man's mouth and tear off that side of his face to the back (of the neck)
and similarly tear his nose from front to back and his eye from front to back.
Then he turned to the other side of the man's face and did just as he had done
with the other side. He hardly completed this side when the other side returned
to its normal state. Then he returned to it to repeat what he had done before.
I said to my two companions, 'Subhan Allah! Who are these two persons?' They
said to me, 'Proceed!' So we proceeded and came across something like a Tannur
(a kind of baking oven, a pit usually clay-lined for baking bread)." I
think the Prophet said, "In that oven t here was much noise and
voices." The Prophet added, "We looked into it and found naked men
and women, and behold, a flame of fire was reaching to them from underneath,
and when it reached them, they cried loudly. I asked them, 'Who are these?'
They said to me, 'Proceed!' And so we proceeded and came across a river."
I think he said, ".... red like blood." The Prophet added, "And
behold, in the river there was a man swimming, and on the bank there was a man
who had collected many stones. Behold. while the other man was swimming, he
went near him. The former opened his mouth and the latter (on the bank) threw a
stone into his mouth whereupon he went swimming again. He returned and every
time the performance was repeated, I asked my two companions, 'Who are these
(two) persons?' They replied, 'Proceed! Proceed!' And we proceeded till we came
to a man with a repulsive appearance, the most repulsive appearance, you ever
saw a man having! Beside him there was a fire and he was kindling it and
running around it. I asked my companions, 'Who is this (man)?' They said to me,
'Proceed! Proceed!' So we proceeded till we reached a garden of deep green dense
vegetation, having all sorts of spring colors. In the midst of the garden there
was a very tall man and I could hardly see his head because of his great
height, and around him there were children in such a large number as I have
never seen. I said to my companions, 'Who is this?' They replied, 'Proceed!
Proceed!' So we proceeded till we came to a majestic huge garden, greater and
better than I have ever seen! My two companions said to me, 'Go up and I went
up' The Prophet added, "So we ascended till we reached a city built of
gold and silver bricks and we went to its gate and asked (the gatekeeper) to
open the gate, and it was opened and we entered the city and found in it, men
with one side of their bodies as handsome as the handsomest person you have ever
seen, and the other side as ugly as the ugliest person you have ever seen. My
two companions ordered those men to throw themselves into the river. Behold,
there was a river flowing across (the city), and its water was like milk in
whiteness. Those men went and threw themselves in it and then returned to us
after the ugliness (of their bodies) had disappeared and they became in the
best shape." The Prophet further added, "My two companions (angels)
said to me, 'This place is the Eden Paradise, and that is your place.' I raised
up my sight, and behold, there I saw a palace like a white cloud! My two
companions said to me, 'That (palace) is your place.' I said to them, 'May
Allah bless you both! Let me enter it.' They replied, 'As for now, you will not
enter it, but you shall enter it (one day) I said to them, 'I have seen many
wonders tonight. What does all that mean which I have seen?' They replied, 'We
will inform you: As for the first man you came upon whose head was being
injured with the rock, he is the symbol of the one who studies the Quran and
then neither recites it nor acts on its orders, and sleeps, neglecting the
enjoined prayers. As for the man you came upon whose sides of mouth, nostrils
and eyes were torn off from front to back, he is the symbol of the man who goes
out of his house in the morning and tells so many lies that it spreads all over
the world. And those naked men and women whom you saw in a construction
resembling an oven, they are the adulterers and the adulteresses;, and the man
whom you saw swimming in the river and given a stone to swallow, is the eater
of usury (Riba) and the bad looking man whom you saw near the fire kindling it
and going round it, is Malik, the gatekeeper of Hell and the tall man whom you
saw in the garden, is Abraham and the children around him are those children
who die with Al-Fitra (the Islamic Faith)." The narrator added: Some
Muslims asked the Prophet, "O Allah's Apostle! What about the children of
pagans?" The Prophet replied, "And also the children of pagans."
The Prophet added, "My two companions added, 'The men you saw half
handsome and half ugly were those persons who had mixed an act that was good
with another that was bad, but Allah forgave them.'"
