بَابُ مَنَاقِبُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ بْنِ الْخَطَّابِ رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُمَا
Sahih al-Bukhari 3739
Narrated Ibn `Umar: If a man saw a dream during the lifetime of the Prophet he would narrate it to the Prophet. Once I wished to see a dream and narrate it to the Prophet I was young, unmarried, and used to sleep in the Mosque during the lifetime of the Prophet. I dreamt that two angels took me and went away with me towards the (Hell) Fire which looked like a well with the inside walls built up, and had two side-walls like those of a well. There I saw some people in it whom I knew. I started saying, I seek Refuge with Allah from the (Hell) Fire, I seek Refuge with Allah from the (Hell) Fire. Then another angel met the other two and said to me, Do not be afraid. I narrated my dream to Hafsa who, in her turn, narrated it to the Prophet. He said, What an excellent man `Abdullah is if he only observes the night prayer. (Salem, a sub-narrator said, Abdullah used not to sleep at night but very little hence forward.
حضرت حفصہ ؓ نے میرا یہ خواب نبی ﷺ سے بیان کیا تو آپ نے فرمایا: ’’عبد اللہ اچھا آدمی ہے، کاش!وہ رات کو تہجد کی نماز پڑھا کرتا۔‘‘ حضرت سالم بیان کرتے ہیں کہ اس کے بعد حضرت عبد اللہ بن عمر ؓ رات کو بہت کم سویا کرتے تھے۔
Hazrat Hafsa (Radi Allahu Taala Anha) ne mera ye khwab Nabi (Sallallahu Alaihi Wa Sallam) se bayan kiya toh Aap ne farmaya: ''Abdullah achha aadmi hai, kaash! Woh raat ko tahajjud ki namaz padha karta.'' Hazrat Salim bayan karte hain ke is ke baad Hazrat Abdullah bin Umar (Radi Allahu Taala Anhu) raat ko bohat kam soya karte thay.
فَقَصَّتْهَا حَفْصَةُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ : نِعْمَ الرَّجُلُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ لَوْ كَانَ يُصَلِّي بِاللَّيْلِ ، قَالَ سَالِمٌ : فَكَانَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ لَا يَنَامُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا .
