Dreams In Islaam

We know that Shaytaan cannot come in the dream of a person in the form of Rasoolullaah صلى الله عليه وسلم. However, if a person does not know exactly what Rasoolullaah صلى الله عليه وسلم looked like, then Shaytaan can assume the form of an Arab, come in the dream of a person and claim to be Rasoolullaah صلى الله عليه وسلم. This person has not seen Rasoolullaah صلى الله عليه وسلم and thus he would not know. That is why the `Ulamaa have said that the Shamaa'il should be studied thoroughly, so that we can get an exact idea of what Rasoolullaah صلى الله عليه وسلم looked like.

Sahaabah were not short. There are narrations of some Romans coming to meet with Hadhrat `Umar ibn al-Khattaab رضي الله عنه, and he was far taller than them. Hadhrat `Umar رضي الله عنه was described as tall. So if that is tall, then 5'11" would more or less have been the average height.

Average height changes from race to race. Nordic people tend to be taller and far eastern people tend to be shorter for example. I think it is about feelings. If Reminder feels that it was Him it is Him..Just my opinion..
 
Yes, that is possible. But Arabs are not short, though. As a race. They are average height. They're not tall like certain races, but neither are they short.
 
Huzaifah ibn Adam said:
People haven't grown taller. People of this generation are shorter than the people of the previous generations. 5'7 is considered as "short", and Rasoolullaah صلى الله عليه وسلم was not short.

5'11 is the average height.

As I had figured based on my dream, this research proves average height in the Middle Ages to be approximately 5 foot 7 or 8.

Anyway, I don't get what you are trying to say. Are you actually trying to suggest I didn't actually dream of our prophet (saw)?

I already told you, it was him (pbuh) 100%.

Whatever, believe what you want.

In "Nashrut Teeb", Hind ibn Abi Haalah describes Rasoolullaah صلى الله عليه وسلم as being above average height.

Also, if 5'8" was the average height, then how would Rasoolullaah صلى الله عليه وسلم have been 5'7"? Particularly if you take into consideration the narrations stating slightly above average height.

I already submitted proof that humans on average were 5 foot 7 or 8 in the Middles Ages. Most narrations describe him (pbuh) being average height (not above average). I saw him commanding an army, which naturally will be the tallest and strongest men of the time, therefore he looked quite shorter in comparison to them, and I guess about 5 foot 7 or 8, but definitely not shorter than 5 foot 7. And look at the studies, they are #1, #2 and #3 results on Google.
 
I'm not denying that you may have seen Rasoolullaah صلى الله عليه وسلم in the dream. What I am saying is that 1) He was not short, 2) Certain `Ulamaa in their Kitaabs have brought narrations to show that he was above average height.

Maybe I should have mentioned before, I saw him (pbuh) commanding a brigade of 20-30 soldiers (not average citizens). He was noticeably shorter in comparison, however, army soldiers would naturally be taller and stronger on average. There is no doubt that it was him.
 
Possibly the people next to him were very tall. So, we shouldn't say that he was 5'7", for example. What if the people next to him were all 6'2, 6'3, etc? Then if he is 5'11 or 6'0", it will seem to be the average height in comparison to them.
 
In my second dream, he was also shorter.

I measure 5'11". Based on both dreams I say 5'9".

He looked short compared to the army, who are far taller.
 
حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو اليَمَانِ، أَخْبَرَنَا شُعَيْبٌ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، حَدَّثَنِي سَعِيدُ بْنُ المُسَيِّبِ: أَنَّ أَبَا هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولُ: «لَمْ يَبْقَ مِنَ النُّبُوَّةِ إِلَّا المُبَشِّرَاتُ» قَالُوا: وَمَا المُبَشِّرَاتُ؟ قَالَ: «الرُّؤْيَا الصَّالِحَةُ

رواه البخاري

Hadhrat Abu Hurayrah رضي الله عنه said, "I heard Rasoolullaah صلى الله عليه وسلم saying: "Nothing remains from Nubuwwah except the glad tidings." They (the Sahaabah) asked: "And what are the glad tidings?" He said, "The good dream." [Narrated in Saheeh al-Bukhaari.]

So we learn from this that the good dreams a Muslim has are glad-tidings from Allaah Ta`aalaa, so he should make Shukr to Allaah Ta`aalaa for them.

May Allaah Ta`aalaa grant all of us good dreams as glad-tidings,


آمين يا رب العالمين​

Ibn `Awn narrates from Imaam ibn Seereen, who said, "The dream seen during the day is like the dream seen at night." [Narrated in Saheeh al-Bukhaari.]

Do this:

Haafiz ibn Hajar al-`Asqalaani رحمة الله عليه states in Fat-hul Baari that a person who wants to get true dreams should do the following:

1) Sleep with Wudhoo.

2) Lay on his right side.

3) Recite Soorah ash-Shams, Soorah al-Layl, Soorah at-Teen, Soorah al-Ikhlaas, Soorah al-Falaq and Soorah an-Naas.

4) He should make the following Du`aa:

اللهم إني أعوذ بك من سيء الأحلام، وأستجيرك من تلاعب الشيطان في اليقظة والمنام، اللهم إني أسألك رؤيا صادقة نافعة حافظة غير منسية، اللهم أرني في منامي ما أحب


Allaahumma Innee A`oodhu Bika min Sayyi'il Ahlaam, wa Astajeeruka min Talaa`ub-ish-Shaytaan fil-Yaqazhati wal Manaam. Allaahumma Innee As'aluka Ru'yaa Saadiqah, Naafi`ah, Haafizhah, Ghayra Mansiyyah. Allaahumma Arinee fee Manaamee Maa Uhibbu​

(O Allaah, I seek protection in You from evil dreams, and I seek Your Protection from the playing of Shaytaan, both in wakefulness and in sleep. O Allaah, I ask You for dreams which are truthful, beneficial, remembered and not forgotten (after waking up). O Allaah, show me in my dreams that which I want to see.)

آمين يا رب العالمين

​
If you do this with Ikhlaas and Istiqaamah, In Shaa Allaah, Allaah Ta`aalaa will grant you true dreams as glad-tidings, and you won't forget them.
 
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدَانُ، أَخْبَرَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ، أَخْبَرَنَا يُونُسُ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، أَخْبَرَنِي حَمْزَةُ بْنُ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ: أَنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولُ: «بَيْنَا أَنَا نَائِمٌ أُتِيتُ بِقَدَحِ لَبَنٍ، فَشَرِبْتُ مِنْهُ، حَتَّى إِنِّي لَأَرَى الرِّيَّ يَخْرُجُ مِنْ أَظْفَارِي، ثُمَّ أَعْطَيْتُ فَضْلِي - يَعْنِي - عُمَرَ» قَالُوا: فَمَا أَوَّلْتَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ؟ قَالَ: «العِلْمَ

​
Hadhrat `Abdullaah ibn `Umar رضي الله عنهما narrates: "I heard Rasoolullaah صلى الله عليه وسلم saying: "While I was sleeping, I was presented (in the dream) with a container of milk, so I drank from it until I saw it flowing in my fingernails. Thereafter, I gave what remained to `Umar." They (the Sahaabah) asked, "How do you interpret it, Yaa Rasoolallaah?" He said, "`Ilm." [Narrated in Saheeh al-Bukhaari.]

We learn from this Hadeeth that seeing milk in a dream signifies `Ilm (Knowledge of Deen).

What is the wisdom of someone making dua of seeing Prophet :saws1: and not seeing? Is it because Allah wants you to keep making that dua?
 
Seeing the beloved of Allaah Ta`aalaa in a dream (and all such dreams are true dreams) is a Gift given only to those fortunate enough to be chosen for it by Allaah Ta`aalaa. We make Du`aa for it, but are we deserving of it? How much Durood do we send upon him? When we love Rasoolullaah صلى الله عليه وسلم enough, In Shaa Allaah, we will be given the gift of seeing him in our dreams.

See this clip of Shaykh Muhammad Hassaan, of Egypt:
