Nothing has remained of Prophethood except Mubashirāt 127
not be deprived of his beneficence. In other words, it is through
the spiritual grace and beneficence of the Holy Prophet sa that a
muslim, a mu’min or a sālih sees true dreams.
To understand this better, we must turn to the Holy
Qur’an. In the terminology of the Holy Qur’ān, a sālih is that
person who is rewarded and in the group of those people who
are rewarded, a sālih is at the first stage. When we look at the
ummah of the Holy Prophet sa , the large majority is made up of
the sālihīn [the righteous]. When the Holy Prophet sa uses the
words, dream of a muslim or a dream of a mu’min or a dream that a
righteous person is shown, it means that true dreams will continue
to be experienced by the large majority of the Muslims.
However, those who are at higher levels or stages, namely, the
shuhadā’ [witnesses], the siddīqīn [truthful], and the nabiyyīn
[prophets], among the disciples of the Holy Prophet sa , were not
under discussion in this particular hadīth.
In this sense, the Holy Prophet sa did not deprive the
generally pious followers of his ummah from that part of
prophethood which is the 46 th – the ru’yā sāliha [true dream]. On
the other hand, the greater stages achievable through the
spiritual beneficence of the Holy Prophet sa are also clearly
evident from the extraordinary aspects of al-mubashirāt and arru’yā
sāliha. This is better understood when one studies the
following verse of Sūrah An-Nisā’:
ِٕ ٰ اهللّ‏ َ وَالرَّسُ‏ وْلَ‏ فَاُولٰ‏ ٓ ى كَ‏ مَعَ‏ اذلَّ‏ ‏ِيْنَ‏ اَنْعَمَ‏ ٰ اهللّ‏ ُ عَلَيهْ‏ ‏ِمْ‏ مّ‏ ‏ِنَ‏

His blessings, namely, the Prophets, the Truthful, the
