A sister from Algeria calls the Shaykh about a dream...*Please appropriately reference this quote to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*Concerning the Imaam of Hadeeth, the Shaykh - Muhammad Naasiruddeen al-Albaanee(rahima-hullaah), it has been narrated: Once a sister from Algeria called the Shaykh and said: "O Shaykh! I have news!" The Shaykh said: "I hope Allaah has blessed you with good news". She said: "One of the sisters had a dream, and I shall narrate it to you". The Shaykh said: "I hope she saw (something) good". She said: "O Shaykh! is this confirmed, that someone comes and narrates a dream to you and you say: "Ihope you saw (something) good and (hopefully) it is good"? Is this confirmed from theSunnah?". The Shaykh said: "No. This is not confirmed, however, there is no harm in using this (term) sometimes". She said: "This sister saw herself on a balcony which overlooked a path. And upon this path she saw theMessenger (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) by his (known) description. Then she saw me standing infrontof the Messenger (sal-Allaahu ̀ alayhe wa sallam) and saw the Messenger (sal-Allaahu ̀ alayhe wasallam) smiling at me, and I was smiling at him. Then I called her, and said to her: "Come down. Come down with us." So when she came down she asked me: "Who are you looking at?" So I said: "Look at the one who looked at me", and she saw the Messenger (sal-Allaahu ̀ alayhe wasallam), then the Messenger (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) smiled, and proceeded along the path. We then walked together along the (same) path (the sister and I) and whilst we were walking we saw a

Shaykh upon the (same) path, so we extended our greetings to him, we said: "as-Salaamu 'alaykum". So he replied to us: "wa 'alaykum as-Salaam wa Rahmatullaahe wa Barakaatuhu." Then this Shaykh asked us: "Did you see the Messenger (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam)?" We said: "Yes, we saw him." So this sister asked me: "Who is this Shaykh?" So I said to her: "This is Shaykh al-Albaanee."." [end of dream] The sister who had called the Shaykh, then said: "I ask Allaah to make this good news for youO Shaykh,and I wished to inform youO Shaykh, so hopefully it is good news, inshaa.-Allaah, that you are upon theway of the Sunnah, inshaa.-AllaahTa'aala. So what do you sayO Shaykh?" Here, the Shaykh did not say a thing, rather, tears began pouring down (his face) and he cried profusely.He then asked those of the brothers who were in his gathering to leave. Muhaddith al-'Asr Muhammad Naasiruddeen al-Albaanee ± Page 40
