حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُوسَی الْأَنْصَارِيُّ حَدَّثَنَا يُونُسُ بْنُ بُکَيْرٍ حَدَّثَنِي عُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ عَنْ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ عُرْوَةَ عَنْ عَائِشَةَ قَالَتْ سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ عَنْ وَرَقَةَ فَقَالَتْ لَهُ خَدِيجَةُ إِنَّهُ کَانَ صَدَّقَکَ وَلَکِنَّهُ مَاتَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَظْهَرَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أُرِيتُهُ فِي الْمَنَامِ وَعَلَيْهِ ثِيَابٌ بَيَاضٌ وَلَوْ کَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ لَکَانَ عَلَيْهِ لِبَاسٌ غَيْرُ ذَلِکَ قَالَ هَذَا حَدِيثٌ غَرِيبٌ وَعُثْمَانُ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ لَيْسَ عِنْدَ أَهْلِ الْحَدِيثِ بِالْقَوِيِّ
جامع ترمذی · Hadith 2288
Aishah said: The Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) was asked about Waraqah. Khadijah said to him: 'He believed in you, but he died before your advent.' So the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: 'I saw him in a dream, and upon him were white garments. If he were among the inhabitants of the Fire then he would have been wearing other than that.'
