Sahih Muslim: Book 44, Hadith 199

Ibn ‘Umar reported: I saw in a state of sleep as if I have in my hand a piece of silk cloth and there is no place in the Paradise where I intend to reach but that piece of cloth does not fly towards it. I made a mention of it to Hafsa (the sister of Ibn ‘Umar) and Hafsa made a mention of it to Allah’s Apostle (ﷺ), whereupon Allah’s Apostle (ﷺ) said: I find ‘Abdullah b ‘Umar a pious person.

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ الْعَتَكِيُّ، وَخَلَفُ بْنُ هِشَامٍ، وَأَبُو كَامِلٍ الْجَحْدَرِيُّ كُلُّهُمْ عَنْ حَمَّادِ،
بْنِ زَيْدٍ – قَالَ أَبُو الرَّبِيعِ حَدَّثَنَا حَمَّادُ بْنُ زَيْدٍ، – حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ نَافِعٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ عُمَرَ،
قَالَ رَأَيْتُ فِي الْمَنَامِ كَأَنَّ فِي يَدِي قِطْعَةَ إِسْتَبْرَقٍ وَلَيْسَ مَكَانٌ أُرِيدُ مِنَ الْجَنَّةِ إِلاَّ طَارَتْ
إِلَيْهِ – قَالَ – فَقَصَصْتُهُ عَلَى حَفْصَةَ فَقَصَّتْهُ حَفْصَةُ عَلَى النَّبِيِّ صلى الله عليه وسلم فَقَالَ
النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏
“‏ أَرَى عَبْدَ اللَّهِ رَجُلاً صَالِحًا ‏”‏ ‏.‏
