Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : I had a dream. Is it permissible for me to speak about it now, or not?
The Shaykh : You may do so, but we, as He the Exalted said, [do not interpret them].
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh :[Yusuf 12:44] .
The questioner : May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh : As for if you wish to relate it, I see no objection.
The questioner : May Allah reward you with good. I had a dream in Oman before the Fajr prayer. I prayed 'Isha' in congregation, then I slept for an hour before the Fajr prayer. In the dream, I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him).
The Shaykh : (peace and blessings be upon him).
The questioner : And I was with a group of brothers, and, praise be to Allah, we were holding fast to the Book of Allah and the Sunnah of His Messenger. So, on a Friday, I was wearing my work clothes, then I put on a white garment over my work clothes before we entered the mosque to pray Jumu'ah. I saw the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he said, "Welcome, my offspring."
The Shaykh : What Allah willed!
The questioner : May Allah bless you. And shortly after that, I saw a face, may Allah protect you, disheveled, black, and dusty, as if it were the cursed Iblis, upon whom is the curse of Allah, the angels, and all of mankind. I had a stick in my hand, so I raised it against him, and he fled away. Then I woke up for the Fajr prayer, and praise be to Allah.
The Shaykh : You saw good, and you were protected from evil.
The questioner : May Allah bless you.
The Shaykh : You may do so, but we, as He the Exalted said, [do not interpret them].
The questioner: Yes.
The Shaykh :
and we are not learned in the interpretation of dreams."
