It was narrated that Ibn ‘Abbas said:“A man came to the Prophet (ﷺ), upon his return from Uhud, and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah, in my dream I saw a cloud giving shade, from which drops of ghee and honey were falling, and I saw people collecting them in the palms of their hands, some gathering a lot and some a little. And I saw a rope reaching up into heaven, and I saw you take hold of it and rise with it. Then another man took hold of it after you rose with it, then another man took hold of it after him and rose with it. Then a man took hold of it after him and it broke, then it was reconnected and he rose with it.’ Abu Bakr said: ‘Let me interpret it, O Messenger of Allah.’ He said: ‘Interpret it.’ He said: ‘As for the cloud giving shade, it is Islam, and the drops of honey and ghee that fall from it (represent) the Qur’an with its sweetness and softness. As for the people collecting that in their palms, some learn a lot of the Qur’an and some learn a little. As for the rope reaching up into heaven, it is the truth that you are following; you took hold of it and rose with it, then another man till take hold of it after you and rise with you, then another, who will rise with it, then another, but it will break and then he reconnected, then he will rise with it.’ He said: ‘You have got some of it right and some of it wrong.’ Abu Bakr said: ‘I adjure you O Messenger of Allah, tell me what I got right and what I got wrong.’ The Prophet (ﷺ) said: ‘Do not swear, O Abu Bakr.”

حدثنا يعقوب بن حميد بن كاسب المدني، حدثنا سفيان بن عيينة، عن الزهري، عن عبيد الله بن عبد الله، عن ابن عباس، قال اتى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم رجل منصرفه من احد فقال يا رسول الله اني رايت في المنام ظلة تنطف سمنا وعسلا ورايت الناس يتكففون منها فالمستكثر والمستقل ورايت سببا واصلا الى السماء رايتك اخذت به فعلوت به ثم اخذ به رجل بعدك فعلا به ثم اخذ به رجل بعده فعلا به ثم اخذ به رجل بعده فانقطع به ثم وصل له فعلا به . فقال ابو بكر دعني اعبرها يا رسول الله . قال " اعبرها " . قال اما الظلة فالاسلام واما ما ينطف منها من العسل والسمن فهو القران حلاوته ولينه واما ما يتكفف منه الناس فالاخذ من القران كثيرا وقليلا واما السبب الواصل الى السماء فما انت عليه من الحق اخذت به فعلا بك ثم ياخذه رجل من بعدك فيعلو به ثم اخر فيعلو به ثم اخر فينقطع به ثم يوصل له فيعلو به . قال " اصبت بعضا واخطات بعضا " . قال ابو بكر اقسمت عليك يا رسول الله لتخبرني بالذي اصبت من الذي اخطات . فقال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم " لا تقسم يا ابا بكر " . حدثنا محمد بن يحيى، حدثنا عبد الرزاق، انبانا معمر، عن الزهري، عن عبيد الله، عن ابن عباس، قال كان ابو هريرة يحدث ان رجلا، اتى رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم فقال يا رسول الله رايت ظلة بين السماء والارض تنطف سمنا وعسلا فذكر الحديث نحوه
