Sumarah ibn Jundub reported that the Massenger of Allah (peace be upon him) often used to ask his Companions:

"Has any one of you seen a dream?" so whoever Allah wished to do so would tell of a dream he had seen. One morning, he told us, "Last night, two persons came to me (in a dream), and said to me, 'Let's go!'

So I set off with them, and we came to a man was lying down, with another man standing over him holding a big rock. He was throwing the rock down on the other man's head, smashing it. The rock rolled away, and the thrower went after it and brought it back. By the time he came back to the man, his head has been restored, then he proceeded to do the same thing again. I said, 'subhan Allah! Who are these two?' (My two companions) said to me, 'Go on, go on!'

So we went on, and came to a man lying flat on his back,with another man standing over him holding an iron hook. He put the hook in one side of the man's mouth and tore off that side of his face to the back (of his neck), and then tear his nose likewise from front to back, and his eyes from front to back, and then do the same on the other side of the man's face. He had hardly finished on the second side, when the first side was restored, so he went back and started again. I said, 'Subhan Allah! Who are these two?' (My two Companions) said, 'Go on go on!'

So we went on, and came across something like a Tannur (a kind of oven: usually a pit lined with clay for baking bread). In it there was much noise and voices. We looked into it, and inside it were nacked men and women, with flames coming up to them, they cried loudly. I asked, 'Who are these?' (My two companions) said, 'Go on, go on!'

So we went on and came to the river red like blood and in the river there was a man swimming and another man on the bank who had gathered many stones. The man who was swimming came to the one who had gathered many stones , and opened his mouth, and the man on the river bank placed a stone in his mouth. The man in the river swam away and then came back, he opened his mouth and a stone was put in it. I asked (My two companions), 'Who are these two?' and they said to me, 'Go on, go on!'

So we went on, and came to a man, with most repulsive appearance you have ever seen. Beside him was a fire, and he was kindling it and running around it. I asked, 'Who is this?' (My two companions) said to me, 'Go on, go on!'

So we went on, and came to a garden of deep green dense vegetation, with all sorts of spring colours. In the midst of the garden there was a very tall man , so tall that I could hardly see his head. Around this man were more children I had ever seen. I asked, Who is this? Who are they?' (My two companions) said, 'Go on, go on!' So we went on until we came to huge garden, bigger and more magnificent than any I have ever seen.(My two companions) told me, 'Go up into it, 'so we went up into it, to a city built of gold and silver bricks. We came to the gate of the city, asked for it to be opened, and we were admitted. There we met men with one half of their bodies as handsome as any you have ever seen, and the other half as ugly. (My two companions) told them, 'Go and throw yourself in that river' - there was a river flowing through the city, with water as white as milk. They went and did as they were ordered, and came back with all trace of ugliness removed, in the best form. (My two companions) told me, 'This is the paradise of Adnan (Garden of Eden), and that is your place' - and I looked up and saw a palace like white clouds! (My two companions) said to me, 'That is your place.' I said to them, May Allah bless you both! Let me enter it. They said, 'Now is not a time for you to enter it.' I said, 'I have seen many wonders tonight. What is the meaning of all that I have seen?' They said we will inform you: The first man whom you saw having his head smashed with rock, is the man who studies the Quran but neither recites nor acts upon it, and who sleeps and neglects the prescribed prayers. The man you saw having his face torn from his mouth nose and eyes, front to back, is the man who goes out of his house in the morning and tells so many lies that it spreads all over the world. The naked men and women who were in something like a Tannur are adulterers and adulteresses, and the man whom you saw swimming in the river and having stones thrown in his mouth was one who used to consume riba (Usury) . The ugly-looking man you saw kindling the fire and walking around around it is Malik, the gatekeeper of Hell. The tall man in the garden is ibrahim, and the children around him are children who died in the state of fitra (i.e the natural-born state of mankind)

Some of the Muslims asked, 'O Massenger of Allah! What about the children of Mushrikeen? The Massenger of Allah (peace be upon him) said, 'The children of Mushrikeen are there too. And the people who appeared half handsome and half ugly were those who had mixed a good deed with a bad deed, but Allah forgave them'."

(Sahih Bukhari)

May Allah grant a good end to all our affairs and save us from humiliation of the world and the torment of hereafter..

May Allah accept our prayers, give our soul piety and our Conscience purity.

May Allah make us content with what He has provided us, send blessings for us therein, and replace for us every absent thing with something better.

May Allah grant Shifa to all those who are ill and make it easy for all those who are experiencing difficulty and hardships.

May Allah, Most forgiving, Most merciful, forgive us and have mercy on our Ummah.

May Allah make us amongst righteous and make us amongst the people of jannah..
