Shahih Muslim - 4536

Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Muhammad bin Al Mutsanna Al 'Anbari]; Telah menceritakan kepada kami [Mu'adz bin Mu'adz]; Telah menceritakan kepada kami ['Abdullah bin 'Aun] dari [Muhammad bin Sirin] dari [Qais bin 'Ubad] dia berkata; Pada suatu hari aku berada di Madinah bersama orang-orang yang di antara mereka terdapat sahabat Nabi shallallahu 'alaihi wasallam. lalu seseorang datang dan di wajahnya terdapat tanda kekhusyu'an. Orang-orang berkata; Orang itu termasuk penghuni surga, orang itu termasuk penghuni surga. kemudian ia shalat dua rakaat yang ringan. Saat ia keluar dari masjid, aku mengikutinya hingga ia masuk rumah, akupun ikut masuk bersamanya lalu kami berbincang-bincang. saat ia mendengar, aku berkata padanya; Saat kau masuk masjid, orang-orang berkata seperti ini dan itu. Orang itu berkata; Subhaanallaah, tidak sepatutnya orang mengatakan sesuatu yang tidak diketahui. Aku akan menceritakan kepadamu, aku bermimpi sesuatu dimasa Rasulullah Shallalahu 'alaihi wa sallam lalu aku ceritakan mimpi itu pada beliau, aku bermimpi sepertinya aku berada di sebuah taman, -Ibnu 'Aun berkata; dia menyebutkan luasnya, hijau rumputnya, dan di tengahnya ada tiang besi, bawahnya menancap ke bumi dan atasnya sampai langit. Di atasnya ada tali lalu dikatakan kepadaku: Naiklah. Aku berkata; Aku tidak bisa. Lalu datanglah misnhaf -berkata Ibnu 'Aun al minshaf adalah Pelayan- lalu ia mengangkat bajuku dari belakang, ia berkata; Naiklah. Aku pun naik hingga aku berada di atas tiang dan meraih tali, ia berkata; Berpeganganlah pada tali. Lalu aku terbangun dan tali itu ada di tanganku. Aku mendatangi nabi Shallalahu 'alaihi wa sallam kemudian aku ceritakan padanya. Rasulullah Shallalahu 'alaihi wa sallam bersabda: "Maksud tanaman itu adalah Islam, tiangnya itu adalah tiang Islam sedangkan talinya itu adalah tali yang erat, dan engkau berada dalam Islam hingga kamu meninggal." Berkata Ibnu 'Aun: 'orang yang dimaksudkan itu adalah ['Abdullah bin Salam].' (HR. Muslim: 4536)

Qais b. 'Ubada reported: I was in the company of some persons, amongst whom some were the Companions of Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him) in Medina, that there came a person whose face depicted the fear (of Allah). Some people said: He is a person from amongst the people of Paradise; he is a person from amongst the people of Paradise. He observed two short rak'ahs of prayer and then went out. I followed him and he got into his house and I also got in and we began to converse with each other. And when he became familiar (with me) I said to Him: When you entered (the mosque) before (your entrance in the house) a person said so and so (that you are amongst the people of Paradise), whereupon he said: It is not meet for anyone to say anything which he does not know. I shall (now) tell you why they (say) this. I saw a dream during the lifetime of Allah's Messenger (may peace be upon him) and narrated it to him. I seemed to be in a garden [he described its vastness, its rich fructification and its verdure]; in the midst of it, there stood an iron pillar, with its base in the earth and its summit in the sky: and upon its summit there was a handhold. It was said to me: Climb up this (pillar). I said to him (visitant in the dream): I am unable to do it. Thereupon a helper came to me, and he (supported) me (by catching hold of my) garment from behind and thus helped me with his hand and so I climbed up till I was at the summit of the pillar, and grasped the handhold. It was said to me: Ho d it tightly. It was at this that I woke up when (the handhold) was in fthe grip) of my hand. I narrated it (the dream) to Allah's Apostle (may peace be upon him), whereupon he said: That garden implies al-Islam and that pillar implies the pillar of Islam. And that handhold is the firmest faith (as refered to in the Qur'an). And you will remain attached to Islam until you shall die. And that man was 'Abdullah b. Salim. (Muslim: 4536)
