ABU BAKR’S INTERPRETATION OF DREAMS
Abu Bakr, may Allah be pleased with him, was an acknowledged interpreter of dreams. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, himself used to consult only him for interpreting his dreams.
Sa’eed Ibn Mansoor narrates on the authority of Sa’eed Ibn Al-Musayyib who said: Aa’ishah, may Allah be pleased
with her, saw in a dream that three moons fell in her house. So she narrated her dream to Abu Bakr – who was the best interpreter of dreams – he said: “If you have truly seen that, then three of the best of all Allah’s creations will be buried in your house.” When the Prophet , peace and blessings be upon him, died, Abu Bakr said to ‘Aa’ishah, This is the best of your three moons.”
Sa’eed Ibn Mansoor also narrates on the authority of ‘Umar Ibn Sharahabecl who said: “The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: “1 saw that I was followed by black sheep then I was followed by white sheep that outnumbered the black ones in a way that you could hardly see the black ones. Abu Bakr interpreted the dreams saying: “O Prophet of Allah, the black sheep stand for the Arabs who will embrace Islam in large numbers, and the white sheep stand for the non-Arabs who will embrace Islam in far larger numbers than the Arabs. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “That was exactly how the angel interpreted it before dawn.”
Ibn Sa’eed further narrates on the authority of Ibn Shihaab who said: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, saw a dream and narrated it to Abu Bakr. He said: “I saw in a dream that we were racing and I was ahead of you by steps. “Abu Bakr said, “You will die and rest in peace in Heaven, and I will live two years and a half after your passing away.
On the authority of Abu Qilaabah who says: A man said to Abu Bakr As-Sideeq, “I saw in a dream that I urinate blood.” Whereupon Abu Bakr said, “You are a man who copulates with his wife in the lime of her menses, so seek Allah’s Forgiveness and do not do this again.”
