Hadith 33

e a spot with a lot of grass and pasture! ’
He said to me, ‘Is there anything in its top part? ’ I looked and there was a sand dune. Above it was a room of fur, emitting light. He said to me, ‘Do you see anything? ’ I said, ‘I see such and such! ’ He said to me, ‘O Ibn Mahziyar! Feel good and delight your eyes, for over there is a hope of every hoping one! ’
Then he said to me, ‘Let us go! ’ He travelled and I travelled, until he came to be in the lower part of the sand dune. Then he said to me, ‘Descend, for over here is a removal of every difficulty’. He descended, and I descended until he said to me, ‘O Ibn Mahziyar! Let go of the rein of the riding animal! ’ I said, ‘Upon who should I leave it behind, and there is no one over here? ’ He said, ‘The is a sanctuary (Hurrum).

I said, ‘When will that be happening, O son-ajfj of Rasool-Allah-saww? ’
