Assalam Wa Alaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatahu, It was recorded by Ibn al-Jawzi in his Mashikha, and by Ibn Bushran in his Amali, and in Tarikh Wasit and Tarikh Dimashq, and Abu ‘Uthman al-Bahiri al-Nisaburi in his Fawa’id (and it is sound): ‘Abd al-Rahman b. Samura (radiya Allah ‘anhu) said, “One day the Messenger of Allah (salla Allah ‘alayhi wa sallam) came to us as we were in the Masjid of Madeenah and said, ‘Last night I saw the most marvellous dream. I saw a man from my Ummah and the Angel of Death approached him to take his soul, but the man’s filial piety came and kept the Angel at bay.’ ‘Thereafter I saw a man from my Umma subjected to the torment of the grave but then his ablution came and rescued him from it.’ ‘Then I saw a man from my Umma surrounded by devils, but then his remembrance of Allah came to him and delivered him from their midst.’ ‘Then I saw a man from my Umma who was surrounded by the angels of torment, but then his prayer came to him and rescued him from their hands.’ ‘Then I saw a man from my Ummah who was panting out of severe thirst; every time he passed by a body of water he was driven away, but then his fasting in Ramadan came to him and provided him water and quenched his thirst.’ ‘Then I saw a man from my Ummah as the Prophets were sitting in circles; each time the man drew near to a circle he was pushed away, but then his purificatory bath from intercourse (ghusl) came to him and took him by the hand and sat him down next to me.’ ‘Then I saw a man from my Ummah enveloped by darkness in front of him and behind him and to his right and left and above and below, perplexed on account of all the darkness before him, but then his Hajj and ‘Umrah came to him and took him out of the darkness and entered him into light.’ ‘Then I saw a man from my Ummah who was addressing the believers but they would not speak with him, but then his maintenance of family ties came to him and called out: “O assembly of believers! Speak to him, for he maintained the ties of kinship.” After this the believers spoke with him and shook his hand and he kept their company.’ ‘Then I saw a man from my Ummah trying to protect himself from the blaze and evil of the Fire by covering his hand over his face, but then his charity came to him and veiled his face and covered his head.’ ‘Then I saw a man from my Ummah who was seized by the angels of punishment from every direction, but then his act of enjoining the good and forbidding the evil came and delivered him from their clutches and took him in the company of the angels of mercy.’ ‘Then I saw a man from my Ummah crouching on his knees with a veil between him and Allah, Exalted is He. But then his good character came and took him by the hand and took him to Allah’s presence.’ ‘Then I saw a man from my Ummah whose scroll of deeds was placed in his left hand, but then his fear of Allah took his scroll and placed it in his right hand.’ ‘Then I saw a man from my Ummah whose scale-pan of good deeds was light, but then his goodly loans came and made his scale-pan heavy.’ ‘Then I saw a man from my Ummah who was standing over the precipice of Hell, but then his fearful apprehension of Allah came and delivered him and he continued on his way.’ ‘Then I saw a man from my Ummah who had fallen into the Fire, but then there came to him his tears that he cried out of fear of Allah while in this world and they took him out of it.’ ‘Then I saw a man from my nation crossing the Traverse (Sirat); he was crawling upon it, and at times dragging himself across it or clutching it, when suddenly his prayer sent upon me came to him and stood him up on his feet and rescued him.’ ‘Then I saw a man from my Ummah who had reached the gates to the Garden but its gates had closed and he was locked out, but then the testimony of “there is no God but Allah” came and opened its gates and placed him inside.’ Daily Islamic Stories.
