Al-Lu'lu Wal-Marjan 1465 — The Book of Dreams

Ibn 'Abbas Narrated from:

Musailima Al-Kadhdhâb came during the life-time of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and started saying, "If Muhammad give me the rule after him, I will follow him." And he came to Al-Madîna along with a great number of the people of his tribe. Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم went to him in the company of Thâbit bin Qais bin Shammâs, and at that time, Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم had a stick of a date-palm tree in his hand.When he (i.e. the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم ) stopped near Musailima while the latter was amidst his companions, he said to him, "If you ask me for this piece (of stick), I will not give it to you, and Allâh's Order you cannot avoid, (but you will be destroyed), and if you turn your back from this religion (Islâm), then Allâh will destroy you. And I think you are the same person who was shown to me in my dream, and this is Thâbit bin Qais who will answer your questions on my behalf."Then the Prophet ﷺ went away from him. I asked about the statement of Allâh's Messenger ﷺ: "You seem to be the same person who was shown to me in my dream." [See the next Hadith No. 1466.] ( Sahîh Al-Bukhâri, Hadîth No. 659, Vol. 5)
