Hadith 12

you not deliver, the bequest of so and so to you? ’ He woke up and walked at that time to the Holy grave and addressed the Prophet-saww with what that man had instructed him with. Then he slept and saw Amir Al-Momineen-asws (in the dream). He-asws grabbed him and walked, he-asws and him (the man’s messenger), to the house of that man, and opened the doors, and he-asws took the large blade and slaughtered him. Then he-asws wiped the blade with the quilt which was upon him. Then he-asws came to the top of the door. He-asws raised his-asws hand and placed the blade beneath it and went out. The pilgrim woke up from that and he and his companion wrote down the detail of the dream. And the governor of Mosul woke up during that night and seized the neighbour and the suspects and threw them in the prison.

He became thoughtful and said to his companion, ‘Bring out the detail of the dream’. There, it was the same night of the killing. Then he and the people in their entirety walked to the door of the killed one. He instructed with bringing out the quilt and informed them with the blood therein. They found it to be like what he had said. Then he instructed with raising the wrapping (on the door). They raised it and found the knife under it. So, they recognised the truthfulness of his dream and released the prisoners, and its people returned to the Eman, and that had happened from the Kindness of Allah-azwj the Exalted in the right of his innocence’’.

And Ibn Al Jowzy has transmitted, and he was of the Hanbali doctrine, in the book ‘Tazkirat Al Khawas’ –
‘Abdullah Bin Al-Mubarak used to perform Hajj one year and Umrah one year, and he was constant upon that for fifty years. He went out in one of the years for performing Hajj and took five hundred Dinars with him to the pausing of the cameleers at Al-Kufa in order to buy a camel for the Hajj. He saw an Alawite woman upon one of the rubbish dumps plucking the feathers off a dead duck. He (the narrator) said, ‘I went to her and said, ‘And why are you doing this? ’ She said
