سمرة بن جندب رضي الله عنه قال: كان رسول الله ﷺ كثيراً ما يسأل أصحابه: «هل رأى أحدٌ منكم رؤيا؟» فيقصّ عليه من شاء الله أن يقصّ. وذات صباحٍ قال النبي ﷺ: «إنه أتاني الليلة آتيان (في المنام)، فأيقظاني وقالا لي: انطلق! فانطلقت معهما، فأتينا على رجلٍ مضطجعٍ، وإذا آخر قائمٌ على رأسه بصخرةٍ، وإذا هو يهوي بالصخرة على رأسه فيثلغ رأسه، فتدهده الصخرة ههنا، فيتبعها فيأخذها، فلا يرجع إليه حتى يلتئم رأسه، وعاد رأسه كما هو، فعاد إليه فضربه، قلت لهما: سبحان الله! ما هذان؟ قالا لي: انطلق! فانطلقنا فأتينا على رجلٍ مستلقٍ لقفاه، وإذا آخر قائمٌ عليه بكلّوبٍ من حديدٍ، وإذا هو يأتي أحد شقّي وجهه فيشرشر شدقه إلى قفاه، ومنخره إلى قفاه، وعينه إلى قفاه، ثم يتحول إلى الجانب الآخر فيفعل به مثل ذلك، فما يفرغ من ذلك الجانب حتى يصح ذلك الجانب كما كان، ثم يعود عليه فيفعل مثل ما فعل المرة الأولى، قلت: سبحان الله! ما هذان؟ قالا لي: انطلق! فانطلقنا، فأتينا على مثل التنور» - أظنه قال: «فيه لغطٌ وأصواتٌ» - قال: «فاطلعنا فيه، فإذا فيه رجالٌ ونساءٌ عراةٌ، وإذا هم يأتيهم لهبٌ من أسفل منهم، فإذا أتاهم ذلك اللهب ضوضوا»، قال: «قلت لهما: ما هؤلاء؟ قالا لي: انطلق! فانطلقنا، فأتينا على نهرٍ» - أظنه قال: «أحمر مثل الدم» - قال النبي ﷺ: «ثم انطلقنا، فإذا رجل يسبح في النهر، وعلى الشاطئ رجل قد جمع عنده حجارة كثيرة. فإذا السابح يسبح ما يسبح، ثم يأتي إلى ذلك الذي قد جمع عنده الحجارة، فيفغر له فاه فيلقمه حجرًا، فينطلق يسبح، ثم يرجع إليه، كلما رجع إليه فغر له فاه فألقمه حجرًا». قال: «قلت لهما: ما هذان؟» قالا لي: «انطلق انطلق». فانطلقنا فأتينا على رجل كريه المرآة، كأكره ما أنت راء من الرجال مرآة، وإذا عنده نار يحشها ويسعى حولها. قلت لهما: «ما هذا؟» قالا لي: «انطلق انطلق». فانطلقنا فأتينا على روضة معتمة فيها من كل نور الربيع، وإذا بين ظهراني الروضة رجل طويل لا أكاد أرى رأسه طولًا في السماء، وإذا حول الرجل من أكثر ولدان رأيتهم قط. قلت لهما: «ما هذا؟» قالا لي: «انطلق انطلق». فانطلقنا فانتهينا إلى روضة عظيمة لم أر روضة قط أعظم منها ولا أحسن. قالا لي: «ارق فيها». فارتقينا فيها إلى مدينة مبنية بلبن ذهب ولبن فضة، فأتينا باب المدينة فاستفتحنا ففتح لنا، فدخلناها فتلقانا فيها رجال شطر من خلق أحسن ما أنت راء، وشطر كأقبح ما أنت راء. قالا لهم: «اذهبوا فقعوا في ذلك النهر». وإذا نهر معترض يجري كأن ماءه المحض في البياض. فَذَهَبَ أُولَئِكَ الرِّجَالُ فَوَقَعُوا فِيهِ، ثُمَّ رَجَعُوا إِلَيْنَا بَعْدَ أَنْ ذَهَبَ عَنْهُمْ ذَلِكَ السُّوءُ، فَصَارُوا فِي أَحْسَنِ صُورَةٍ. قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: وَقَالَ لِي صَاحِبَايَ: هَذِهِ جَنَّةُ عَدْنٍ، وَهَذَاكَ مَنْزِلُكَ. فَرَفَعْتُ بَصَرِي، فَإِذَا فَوْقِي قَصْرٌ مِثْلُ السَّحَابَةِ الْبَيْضَاءِ! فَقَالَ لِي صَاحِبَايَ: ذَاكَ مَنْزِلُكَ. فَقُلْتُ لَهُمَا: بَارَكَ اللهُ فِيكُمَا، دَعَانِي أَدْخُلْ هَذَا الْقَصْرَ. قَالَا: أَمَّا الْآنَ فَلَنْ تَدْخُلَهُ، وَأَمَّا إِنَّكَ سَتَدْخُلُهُ. قَالَ: فَقُلْتُ لَهُمَا: لَقَدْ رَأَيْتُ مِنَ اللَّيْلَةِ عَجَبًا، فَمَا هَذَا الَّذِي رَأَيْتُهُ؟ قَالَا: سَنُخْبِرُكَ. أَمَّا الرَّجُلُ الْأَوَّلُ الَّذِي أَتَيْتَ عَلَيْهِ يُشْدَخُ رَأْسُهُ بِالْحَجَرِ، فَهُوَ مَثَلُ الَّذِي يَأْخُذُ الْقُرْآنَ فَيَرْفُضُهُ، وَيَنَامُ عَنِ الصَّلَاةِ الْمَكْتُوبَةِ. وَأَمَّا الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي أَتَيْتَ عَلَيْهِ يُشَرْشَرُ شِدْقُهُ إِلَى قَفَاهُ، وَمَنْخِرُهُ إِلَى قَفَاهُ، وَعَيْنُهُ إِلَى قَفَاهُ، فَهُوَ الرَّجُلُ يَغْدُو مِنْ بَيْتِهِ فَيَكْذِبُ الْكَذْبَةَ تَبْلُغُ الْآفَاقَ. وَأَمَّا الرِّجَالُ وَالنِّسَاءُ الْعُرَاةُ الَّذِينَ هُمْ فِي مِثْلِ بِنَاءِ التَّنُّورِ، فَهُمُ الزُّنَاةُ وَالزَّوَانِي. وَأَمَّا الرَّجُلُ الَّذِي أَتَيْتَ عَلَيْهِ يَسْبَحُ فِي النَّهَرِ وَيُلْقَمُ الْحَجَرَ، فَهُوَ آكِلُ الرِّبَا. وَأَمَّا الرَّجُلُ الْكَرِيهُ الْمَرْآةِ الَّذِي عِنْدَ النَّارِ يُوقِدُهَا وَيَسْعَى حَوْلَهَا، فَهُوَ مَالِكٌ خَازِنُ النَّارِ. وَأَمَّا الرَّجُلُ الطَّوِيلُ الَّذِي فِي الرَّوْضَةِ فَهُوَ إِبْرَاهِيمُ ﷺ، وَأَمَّا الْوِلْدَانُ الَّذِينَ حَوْلَهُ فَكُلُّ مَوْلُودٍ مَاتَ عَلَى الْفِطْرَةِ. قَالَ: فَقَالَ بَعْضُ الْمُسْلِمِينَ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ، وَأَوْلَادُ الْمُشْرِكِينَ؟ فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: وَأَوْلَادُ الْمُشْرِكِينَ. قال النبي ﷺ: «وقال لي صاحباي: أما الرجلان اللذان رأيتهما نصف جميل ونصف قبيح، فهما قومٌ خلطوا عملاً صالحاً بآخر سيئ، فعفا الله عنهم». 1

Sumrah bin Jundub ~ said: "The Prophet ~ very often used to ask his companions: 'Did anyone of you see a dream?' So dreams would be narrated to him by those whom Allah wished to tell. One morning, the Prophet~ said: 'Last night two persons came to me (in a dream) and woke me up and said to me: 'Proceed!' I set out with them and we came across a man lying down, and behold, another man was standing over his head, holding a big rock. Behold, he was throwing the rock at the man's head, injuring it. The rock rolled away, so the thrower followed it and picked it up again. By the time he reached the man, his head returned to the normal state. The thrower then did the same as he had done before. I said to my two companions: 'Subhan Allah! Who are these two persons?' They said: 'Proceed!' So we proceeded and came to one man lying flat on his back and another man standing over his head with an iron hook, and behold, he would put the hook in one side of the man's mouth and tear off that side of his face to the back ( of the neck), and similarly tear his nose from front to back, and his eye from front to back. Then he turned to the other side of the man's face and did just as he had done with the other side. He hardly completed this side when the other side returned to its normal state. Then he returned to it to repeat what he had done before. I said to my two companions: 'Subhan Allah! Who are these two persons?' They said to me: 'Proceed!' So we proceeded and came across something like a Tannur (a kind of baking oven, a pit usually clay-lined for baking bread)' - I think the Prophet~ said: 'In that oven there was much noise and voices.' The Prophet added: 'We looked into it and found naked men and women, and behold, a flame of fire was approaching them from underneath, and when it reached them, they screamed loudly. I asked them: 'Who are these?' They said to me: 'Proceed!' And so we proceeded and came across a river' - I think he ~ said: ' ... red like blood.' The Prophet added: 'And behold, in the river there was a man swimming, and on the bank there was a man who had collected many stones. Behold, while the other man was swimming, he went near him. The former opened his mouth and the latter (on the bank) threw a stone into his mouth, whereupon he continued swimming again. He returned and every time the performance was repeated, I asked my two companions: 'Who are these (two) persons?' They replied: 'Proceed! Proceed!' And we proceeded till we came to a man with a repulsive appearance, the most repulsive appearance, you could ever saw a man having! Next to him there was a fire, which he was kindling it and running around. I asked my companions: 'Who is this (man)?' They said to me: 'Proceed! Proceed!' So we proceeded till we reached a garden with dense, deep green vegetation, possessing all sorts of spring colours. In the midst of the garden there was a very tall man , and I could hardly see his head because of his great height, and around him there were children, in such a large number as I have never seen (before). I said to my companions: 'Who is this?' They replied: 'Proceed! Proceed!' So we proceeded till we came to a huge majestic garden, greater and better than I have ever seen (before)! My two companions said to me: 'Go up,' and I went up.' The Prophet added: 'So we ascended till we reached a city built of gold and silver bricks, and we went to its gate and asked (the gatekeeper) to open the gate, and it was opened and we entered the city and found in it, men with one side of their bodies as handsome as the handsomest person you have ever seen, and the other side as ugly as the ugliest person you have ever seen. My two companions ordered those men to throw themselves into the river. Behold, there was a river flowing across (the city), and its water was like milk in whiteness. Those men went and threw themselves in it, and then returned to us after the ugliness ( of their bodies) had disappeared and they became (restored to) the best shape.' The Prophet~ further added: 'My two companions (angels) said to me: 'This place is the Paradise of Eden, and that is your place.' I raised up my sight, and behold, there I saw a palace like a white cloud! My two companions said to me: 'That (palace) is your place.' I said to them: 'May Allah bless you both! Let me enter it.' They replied: 'As for now, you will not enter it, but you shall enter it (one day). I said to them: 'I have seen many wonders tonight. What does all that mean, that which I have seen?' They replied: 'We will inform you: As for the first man you came upon whose head was being injured with the rock, he is the symbol of the one who studies the Qur'an and then neither recites it nor acts on its orders, and sleeps, neglecting the enjoined prayers. As for the man you came upon whose sides of his mouth, nostrils and eyes were torn off from front to back, he is the symbol of the man who goes out of his house in the morning and tells so many lies that it spreads all over the world. And those naked men and women whom you saw in a construction resembling an oven, they are the adulterers and the adulteresses, and the man whom you saw swimming in the river and given a stone to swallow, is the eater of usury (Riba) and the bad looking man whom you saw near the fire kindling it and going round it, is Malik, the gatekeeper of Hell, and the tall man whom you saw in the garden is Abraham, and the children around him are those children who die with Al-Fitra (the Islamic Faith).' The narrator added: 'Some Muslims asked the Prophet: 'O Messenger of Allah! What about the children of pagans?' The Prophet replied: 'And also the children of pagans.' The Prophet added: 'My two companions added: 'The men you saw half handsome and half ugly were those persons who had mixed an act that was good with another that was bad, but Allah forgave them." 1
