Sa'id bin Manshur meriwayatkan bahwa Sa'id bin al-Musayyab berkata: 'Aisyah, semoga Allah meridhainya, bermimpi seolah-olah tiga bulan jatuh di kamarnya. Ia menceritakannya kepada Abu Bakar, yang merupakan salah satu manusia terbaik dalam menakwilkan mimpi, dan ia berkata, "Jika mimpimu benar, maka tiga orang terbaik di muka bumi akan dimakamkan di kamarmu." Ketika Nabi ﷺ wafat, ia berkata, "'Aisyah, ini adalah bulan terbaikmu." Ia juga meriwayatkan bahwa 'Umar bin Syurahbil berkata: Rasulullah ﷺ bersabda, "Aku melihat diriku menggembalakan domba-domba hitam, kemudian menggembalakan domba-domba putih setelahnya, hingga yang hitam tidak tampak di antara mereka." Abu Bakar berkata, "Wahai Rasulullah, adapun domba-domba hitam, mereka adalah orang-orang Arab yang akan memeluk Islam dalam jumlah yang sangat besar. Domba-domba putih adalah orang-orang non-Arab yang akan memeluk Islam hingga orang-orang Arab tidak tampak di antara mereka karena jumlah mereka yang sangat banyak." Rasulullah ﷺ bersabda, "Persis seperti itulah, malaikat menakwilkannya sebelum fajar." Ia juga meriwayatkan bahwa Ibnu Abi Laila berkata: Rasulullah ﷺ bersabda, "Aku melihat diriku berada di sebuah sumur menimba air darinya, lalu domba-domba hitam datang kepadaku untuk minum, kemudian setelah itu domba-domba putih berwarna debu." Abu Bakar berkata, "Biarkan aku menakwilkannya," lalu ia menyebutkan semisal hadis sebelumnya.

Sacid ibn Mansur narrated that Sacid ibn al-Musayyab said: CA’ishah, may Allah be pleased with her, saw in a dream as if three moons fell in her room. She told it to Abu Bakr - he was one of the best of men in interpretation - and he said, ‘If your dream is true, then three of the best people on the earth will be buried in your room.’ When the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, died, he said, ‘CA’ishah, this is the best of your moons.’ He also narrated that cUmar ibn Shurahbil said: The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, ‘I saw myself herding black sheep, then herding white sheep after them, until the black could not be seen among them.’ Abu Bakr said, ‘Messenger of Allah, as for the black sheep, they are the Arabs who will become Muslims in great numbers. The white sheep are the non-Arabs who will become Muslims until the Arabs cannot be seen among them because of their huge numbers.’ The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, ‘In exactly the same way, the angel interpreted it before dawn.’ He has also narrated that Ibn Abi Layla said: The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, ‘I saw myself at a well drawing water from it, and black sheep came to me to drink, then later dusty white coloured sheep.’ Abu Bakr said, ‘Let me interpret it,’ and he mentioned the like of the previous hadith.

Ibnu Sa'd meriwayatkan bahwa Muhammad bin Sirin berkata: Orang yang paling mahir dalam menafsirkan mimpi di umat ini setelah Nabinya ﷺ adalah Abu Bakar.

Ibn Sacd narrated that Muhammad ibn Sirin said: The most skilled in interpretation of dreams of this ummah after its Prophet was Abu Bakr.

Ibnu Sa'd meriwayatkan bahwa Ibnu Syihab berkata: Rasulullah ﷺ bermimpi lalu menceritakannya kepada Abu Bakar. Beliau bersabda, "Aku bermimpi seolah-olah aku bergegas untuk mendahului, aku dan engkau, menaiki sebuah tangga, dan aku mengungguli engkau sejauh dua setengah langkah." Abu Bakar berkata, "Wahai Rasulullah, semoga Allah membawamu kepada ampunan dan rahmat-Nya, dan aku akan hidup setelahmu selama dua setengah tahun." 'Abdur-Razzaq meriwayatkan dalam kitab Al-Musannaf-nya, dari Abu Qilabah, bahwa seorang laki-laki berkata kepada Abu Bakar ash-Shiddiq, "Aku bermimpi bahwa aku kencing darah." Ia berkata, "Engkau adalah seorang laki-laki yang mendatangi istrimu ketika ia sedang haid, maka mohonlah ampun kepada Allah dan jangan mengulanginya lagi."

Ibn Sacd narrated that Ibn Shihab said: The Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, saw a dream and told it to Abu Bakr. He said, ‘I saw as if I hastened to be first, I and you, up a ladder and that I beat you by two and a half steps.’ He said, ‘Messenger of Allah, Allah will take you to His forgiveness and mercy and I will live after you for two and a half years.’ cAbd ar-Razzaq narrated in his Musannaf that Abu Qilabah narrated that a man said to Abu Bakr as-Siddiq, ‘I saw in sleep that I was urinating blood.’ He said, ‘You are a man who comes to his wife (in intercourse) while she is menstruating, so ask forgiveness of Allah and don’t do it again.’
