Continuation of the explanation of the saying of Allah the Exalted: “And We called to him, ‘O Ibrahim! You have truly verified the vision. Indeed, thus do We reward the doers of good.’”

It is either impossible rationally, or impossible religiously, or it is due to sadness and causing worry and distress to the dreamer, because Satan is eager to harm people. As for the third category of dream categories, it is what a person’s soul tells him while awake; because of the intensity of his soul’s attachment to it, he may see it in his sleep. This is also very common. The common people have said that the dreams of the people of Najd are the talk of their hearts. I am saying this in the colloquial language, meaning they see what their souls are talking about. This is something that exists frequently. Some people have told me that when they saw a dream, it would come to pass exactly as they saw it, either on the same day or a few days later. They say that this is a consistent pattern: we do not see a dream except that it comes to pass as we saw it. They do not see it as a metaphor, but they see it directly. This is something strange, to the point that some of them are harmed if they see something they dislike and then it comes to pass as they saw it. In any case, this is a rare occurrence, and the rare occurrence has no ruling. The conclusion is that a dream in sleep is divided into three categories, and the category from Satan is also divided into three categories.
