حَدَّثَنَا إِسْحَاقُ بْنُ يُوسُفَ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ عَوْنٍ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ قَيْسِ بْنِ عَبَّادٍ، قَالَ: كُنْتُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ، فَجَاءَ رَجُلٌ فِي وَجْهِهِ أَثَرٌ مِنْ خُشُوعٍ، فَدَخَلَ فَصَلَّى رَكْعَتَيْنِ فَأَوْجَزَ فِيهِمَا، فَقَالَ الْقَوْمُ: هَذَا رَجُلٌ مِنْ أَهْلِ الْجَنَّةِ، فَلَمَّا خَرَجَ اتَّبَعْتُهُ حَتَّى دَخَلَ، ، مَنْزِلَهُ، فَدَخَلْتُ مَعَهُ، فَحَدَّثْتُهُ فَلَمَّا اسْتَأْنَسَ قُلْتُ لَهُ: إِنَّ الْقَوْمَ لَمَّا دَخَلْتَ قَبْلُ الْمَسْجِدَ قَالُوا: كَذَا وَكَذَا قَالَ: سُبْحَانَ اللهِ مَا يَنْبَغِي لِأَحَدٍ أَنْ يَقُولَ مَا لَا يَعْلَمُ، وَسَأُحَدِّثُكَ لِمَ؟ إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ رُؤْيَايَ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَصَصْتُهَا عَلَيْهِ، رَأَيْتُ كَأَنِّي فِي رَوْضَةٍ خَضْرَاءَ، قَالَ ابْنُ عَوْنٍ: فَذَكَرَ مِنْ خُضْرَتِهَا وَسَعَتِهَا، وَسْطُهَا عَمُودُ حَدِيدٍ أَسْفَلُهُ فِي الْأَرْضِ وَأَعْلَاهُ فِي السَّمَاءِ فِي أَعْلَاهُ عُرْوَةٌ، فَقِيلَ لِيَ: اصْعَدْ عَلَيْهِ فَقُلْتُ: لَا أَسْتَطِيعُ، فَجَاءَنِي مِنْصَفٌ، قَالَ ابْنُ عَوْنٍ: هُوَ الْوَصِيفُ، فَرَفَعَ ثِيَابِي مِنْ خَلْفِي، فَقَالَ: اصْعَدْ عَلَيْهِ، فَصَعِدْتُ حَتَّى أَخَذْتُ بِالْعُرْوَةِ، فَقَالَ: اسْتَمْسِكْ بِالْعُرْوَةِ، فَاسْتَيْقَظْتُ وَإِنَّهَا لَفِي يَدِي، قَالَ: فَأَتَيْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ فَقَصَصْتُهَا عَلَيْهِ فَقَالَ: " أَمَّا الرَّوْضَةُ فَرَوْضَةُ الْإِسْلَامِ، وَأَمَّا الْعَمُودُ فَعَمُودُ الْإِسْلَامِ، وَأَمَّا الْعُرْوَةُ فَهِيَ الْعُرْوَةُ الْوُثْقَى أَنْتَ عَلَى الْإِسْلَامِ حَتَّى تَمُوتَ " قَالَ: وَهُوَ عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ سَلَامٍ (١)، ،

Qais bin ‘Abad says that once I was in the mosque when a man came whose face showed clear signs of humility. He performed two short units of prayer. People began to say that this person is among the people of Paradise. When he left, I also followed him until he entered his house. I too entered his house with him and kept talking to him. When he became familiar with me, I said to him, “When you entered the mosque, people said such and such about you.” He said, “Subhan Allah! A person should not say something he does not know. And I will tell you the reason for this. In the time of Prophethood, I saw a dream which I related to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him). In that dream, I saw that I was in a lush green garden, in the middle of which was an iron pillar whose lower end was in the ground and the upper end was in the sky, and on top of it was a rope. Someone said to me, ‘Climb up this.’ I said, ‘Now climb up.’ I began to climb it until I grabbed the rope. He said to me, ‘Hold this rope firmly.’ When I woke up, it felt as if that rope was still in my hand. Then I went to the Prophet Muhammad (peace be upon him) and related this dream. The Prophet (peace be upon him) said, ‘That garden was Islam, the pillar was Islam, and that rope was the strong rope, which means you are a Muslim and will remain steadfast upon it until death.’ Qais says, then it became known that he was Abdullah bin Salam (may Allah be pleased with him).
