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) Hafsa and she told it to the Prophet (ﷺ) who
said, (to Hafsa), "Indeed, your brother is a righteous man," or, "Indeed, `Abdullah is a righteous man."
Sahih al-Bukhari Book 91, Hadith 33

(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 (ﷺ) 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."

Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) 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 Seereen 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."
