Ibn 'Umar reported: I saw in a state of sleep as if I have in my hand a piece of silk cloth and there is no place in the Paradise where I intend to reach but that piece of cloth does not fly towards it. I made a mention of it to Hafsa (the sister of Ibn 'Umar) and Hafsa made a mention of it to Allaah's Prophet (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam), whereupon Allaah's Prophet (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) said: I find 'Abdullah b 'Umar a pious person.

Ibn 'Umar reported that when a person saw anything in sleep during the lifetime of Allaah's Messenger (may peace he upon him) he narrated it to Allaah's Messenger, and I also had a longing that I should also see in a dream something which I should narrate to Allaah's Prophet (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) and I was at that time an unmarried young man. I was sleeping in the mosque during the lifetime of Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) tl) at I saw in a dream as if two Angels have taken hold of me and they have carried me to the fire, and, lo, it was built like the easing of a well and had two pillars like those of a well; and, lo, there were people in it whom I knew and I cried out: I seek refuge with Allaah from Hell-fire; I seek refuge with Allaah from Hell-fire. Then another Angel joined the two others, and said unto me: You need not fear I narrated this dream to llafsa and she narrated it to Allaah's Messenger, whereupon Allaah's Prophet said: Worthy is this man Abdullah, O that he would pray at night, and Silim added that Abdullah afterwards slept only but for a small part of the night.

Ibn Umar reported: I used to spend nights in the mosque and by that time I had no wife and children. I saw in a dream as if I am being taken to a well. I made a mention of it to Allaah's Messenger (may peacebe upon him). The rest of the hadith is the same.
