حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ الْأَشَجُّ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو خَالِدٍ الْأَحْمَرُ حَدَّثَنَا رَزِينٌ قَالَ حَدَّثَتْنِي سَلْمَی قَالَتْ دَخَلْتُ عَلَی أُمِّ سَلَمَةَ وَهِيَ تَبْکِي فَقُلْتُ مَا يُبْکِيکِ قَالَتْ رَأَيْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ تَعْنِي فِي الْمَنَامِ وَعَلَی رَأْسِهِ وَلِحْيَتِهِ التُّرَابُ فَقُلْتُ مَا لَکَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ شَهِدْتُ قَتْلَ الْحُسَيْنِ آنِفًا قَالَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ
جامع ترمذی · Hadith 3771
Narrated Salma: I entered upon Umm Salamah while she was crying, so I said: 'What causes you to cry?' She said: 'I saw the Messenger of Allah - that is, in a dream - and there was was dirt on his head and his beard. so I said: What is wrong with you, O Messenger of Allah? He said: 'I just witnessed the killing of Al-Husain.'
