حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ ، وَعَبْدُ بْنُ حُمَيْدٍ ، وَاللَّفْظُ لِعَبْدٍ ، قَالاَ : أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ ، قَالَ : كَانَ الرَّجُلُ فِي حَيَاةِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، إِذَا رَأَى رُؤْيَا ، قَصَّهَا عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَتَمَنَّيْتُ أَنْ أَرَى رُؤْيَا أَقُصُّهَا عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : وَكُنْتُ غُلاَمًا شَابًّا عَزَبًا ، وَكُنْتُ أَنَامُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَرَأَيْتُ فِي النَّوْمِ كَأَنَّ مَلَكَيْنِ أَخَذَانِي فَذَهَبَا بِي إِلَى النَّارِ ، فَإِذَا هِيَ مَطْوِيَّةٌ كَطَيِّ الْبِئْرِ ، وَإِذَا لَهَا قَرْنَانِ كَقَرْنَيِ الْبِئْرِ ، وَإِذَا فِيهَا نَاسٌ قَدْ عَرَفْتُهُمْ ، فَجَعَلْتُ أَقُولُ : أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ النَّارِ ، أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ النَّارِ ، أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ النَّارِ ، قَالَ فَلَقِيَهُمَا مَلَكٌ فَقَالَ لِي : لَمْ تُرَعْ ، فَقَصَصْتُهَا عَلَى حَفْصَةَ ، فَقَصَّتْهَا حَفْصَةُ ، عَلَى رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : نِعْمَ الرَّجُلُ عَبْدُ اللهِ لَوْ كَانَ يُصَلِّي مِنَ اللَّيْلِ. قَالَ سَالِمٌ : فَكَانَ عَبْدُ اللهِ ، بَعْدَ ذَلِكَ ، لاَ يَنَامُ مِنَ اللَّيْلِ إِلاَّ قَلِيلاً.

It was narrated from Salim that Ibn 'Umar said: "During the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) ' if a man saw a dream he would tell it to the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w). I wished that I could see a dream and tell it to the Prophet (s.a.w). I was young and unmarried, and I used to sleep in the Masjid at the time of the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) - I saw myself in a dream, as if two angels took hold of me and brought me to the fire, and it was built like a well, and it had two poles like the poles of a well. In it were some people whom I recognized, and I started saying, 'I seek refuge with Allah from the Fire, I seek refuge with Allah from the Fire, I seek refuge with Allah from the Fire.' They were joined by another angel who said to me: 'Do not fear.' I told this to Hafsah, and Hafsah told it to the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) ' and the Prophet (s.a.w) said: 'What a good man 'Abdullah is, if only he prayed at night.'" Salim said: "After that, 'Abdullah only slept a little at night."
