وَحَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رَافِعٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، أَخْبَرَنَا مَعْمَرٌ، عَنْ هَمَّامِ بْنِ مُنَبِّهٍ، قَالَ هَذَا مَا حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم . فَذَكَرَ أَحَادِيثَ مِنْهَا وَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صلى الله عليه وسلم " بَيْنَا أَنَا نَائِمٌ أُتِيتُ خَزَائِنَ الأَرْضِ فَوَضَعَ فِي يَدَىَّ أُسْوَارَيْنِ مِنْ ذَهَبٍ فَكَبُرَا عَلَىَّ وَأَهَمَّانِي فَأُوحِيَ إِلَىَّ أَنِ انْفُخْهُمَا فَنَفَخْتُهُمَا فَذَهَبَا فَأَوَّلْتُهُمَا الْكَذَّابَيْنِ اللَّذَيْنِ أَنَا بَيْنَهُمَا صَاحِبَ صَنْعَاءَ وَصَاحِبَ الْيَمَامَةِ " .
Abu Hurairah Narrated from:
Abu Huraira reported Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) as saying: While I was sleeping, the treasures of the earth were presented to me and I was made to wear in my hands two gold bangles. I felt a sort of burden upon me and I was disturbed and it was suggested to me that I should blow over them, so I blew and both of them disappeared. I interpreted them as two great liars who would appear at any time, one is the inhabitant of San`a' and the other is that of Yamama.

Summary of Sahih Muslim Hadith 2274b
This Hadith about two gold bangles gives a shorter version of the dream. Abu Huraira reported that Allah’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said that while he was sleeping, the treasures of the earth were presented to him and two gold bangles were placed on his hands. He felt burdened and disturbed by them. Then it was suggested to him that he blow over them, so he blew and they disappeared. The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم interpreted the bangles as the two great liars between whom he was: the one from Sana and the one from Yamama. The explanation must stay with the text. It is about a prophetic dream, a troubling symbol, and the Prophet’s own interpretation of false claimants.
What we learn from this hadith
- The dream included the treasures of the earth and two gold bangles.
- The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم felt troubled by the bangles and blew over them.
- He interpreted the two bangles as two liars from Sana and Yamama.
