00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:08.849
The enduring good deeds.

00:00:08.849 --> 00:00:12.349
The virtue of the night prayer.

00:00:12.349 --> 00:00:13.710
On the authority of Salim,

00:00:13.710 --> 00:00:17.820
from his father, Ibn 'Umar (may Allah be pleased with them both), who said:

00:00:17.820 --> 00:00:23.579
During the lifetime of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), whenever a person had a dream,

00:00:23.579 --> 00:00:27.739
he would narrate it to the Prophet (peace be upon him).

00:00:27.899 --> 00:00:33.899
So I wished to see a dream that I could relate to the Prophet (peace be upon him).

00:00:33.899 --> 00:00:36.420
I was a young, unmarried man,

00:00:36.420 --> 00:00:42.140
and I used to sleep in the mosque during the lifetime of the Prophet (peace be upon him).

00:00:42.140 --> 00:00:48.619
Then I saw in a dream as if two angels seized me and took me to the Fire.

00:00:48.619 --> 00:00:52.179
It was built up like a cased well,

00:00:52.179 --> 00:00:55.859
and it had two horns like the horns of a well.

00:00:55.899 --> 00:00:59.179
In it, I also saw people whom I recognized.

00:00:59.179 --> 00:01:03.340
So I began to say, "I seek refuge in Allah from the Fire!

00:01:03.340 --> 00:01:06.250
I seek refuge in Allah from the Fire!"

00:01:06.250 --> 00:01:08.650
Then another angel met them,

00:01:08.650 --> 00:01:11.989
and he said to me, "Do not be afraid."

00:01:11.989 --> 00:01:14.510
I later narrated this dream to Hafsah,

00:01:14.510 --> 00:01:19.189
and Hafsah related it to the Prophet (peace be upon him).

00:01:19.189 --> 00:01:20.629
Thereupon he said:

00:01:20.670 --> 00:01:22.909
"What an excellent man 'Abdullah would be,

00:01:22.909 --> 00:01:26.099
if only he prayed at night."

00:01:26.099 --> 00:01:27.739
Salim said:

00:01:27.739 --> 00:01:33.230
After that, 'Abdullah would sleep only a little at night.

00:01:33.230 --> 00:01:35.030
