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.

حفصہ نے نبی کریم ﷺ سے میرا خواب بیان کیا تو آپ ﷺ نے فرمایا کہ عبداللہ بہت اچھا لڑکا ہے۔ کاش! رات میں وہ تہجد کی نماز پڑھا کرتا۔ سالم نے بیان کیا کہ عبداللہ اس کے بعد رات میں بہت کم سویا کرتے تھے۔

Hafsah ne Nabi Kareem ((صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم)) se mera khwab byan kiya to Aap ((صلى الله عليه وآله وسلم)) ne farmaya ke Abdullah bohat acha larka hai. Kash! Raat mein woh tahajjud ki namaz parhta karta. Salim ne byan kiya ke Abdullah us ke baad raat mein bohat kam sota 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 .
