Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ سَالِمٍ عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ قَالَ كَانَ الرَّجُلُ فِي حَيَاةِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ إِذَا رَأَى رُؤْيَا قَصَّهَا عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ فَتَمَنَّيْتُ أَنْ أَرَى رُؤْيَا فَأَقُصَّهَا عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ وَكُنْتُ غُلَامًا شَابًّا عَزَبًا فَكُنْتُ أَنَامُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ فَرَأَيْتُ فِي النَّوْمِ كَأَنَّ مَلَكَيْنِ أَخَذَانِي فَذَهَبَا بِي إِلَى النَّارِ فَإِذَا هِيَ مَطْوِيَّةٌ كَطَيِّ الْبِئْرِ وَإِذَا لَهَا قَرْنَانِ وَإِذَا فِيهَا نَاسٌ قَدْ عَرَفْتُهُمْ فَجَعَلْتُ أَقُولُ أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ النَّارِ أَعُوذُ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ النَّارِ فَلَقِيَهُمَا مَلَكٌ آخَرُ فَقَالَ لِي لَنْ تُرَاعَ فَقَصَصْتُهَا عَلَى حَفْصَةَ فَقَصَّتْهَا حَفْصَةُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَالَ نِعْمَ الرَّجُلُ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ لَوْ كَانَ يُصَلِّي مِنْ اللَّيْلِ قَالَ سَالِمٌ فَكَانَ عَبْدُ اللَّهِ لَا يَنَامُ مِنْ اللَّيْلِ إِلَّا قَلِيلًا.
English Translation
Abdur-Razzaq told us, Ma'mar informed us, from az-Zuhri, from Salim, from Ibn Umar, who said: During the lifetime of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), if a man saw a vision he would relate it to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He said: So I wished I would see a vision so that I could relate it to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). I was a young unmarried lad, and I used to sleep in the mosque during the time of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). He said: I saw in my sleep as if two angels took hold of me and took me toward the Fire, and it was rolled up like the rolling up of a well, and it had two horns, and in it were people I recognized. I began to say: I seek refuge with Allah from the Fire, I seek refuge with Allah from the Fire. Then another angel met them and said to me: You have nothing to fear. So I related it to Hafsah, and Hafsah related it to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), who said: What an excellent man Abdullah is, if only he would pray at night. Salim said: So after that, Abdullah used to sleep only a little at night.
