to himself, "All this," he says, "was Thy gift, O Allah! For such things can only come from the Creator of the heavens
and earth." (12.101)
1782 Power in the doing of things as well as power in intelligent forecasts and plans,-both must look to Allah: otherwise the
deed and the plan would be futile. (12.101)
1783 Joseph's prayer may be analysed thus: (1) I am nothing; all power and knowledge are Thine; (2) such things can only
come from Thee, for Thou art the Creator of all; (3) none can protect me from danger and wrong, but only Thou; (4)
Thy protection I need both in this world and the next; (5) may I till death remain constant to Thee-, (6) may I yield up
my soul to Thee in cheerful submission to Thy will; (7) in this moment of union with my family after many partings let
me think of the final union with the great family of the righteous. How marvellously apt to the occasion!

21:5 - Nay" they say "(these are) medleys of dreams! nay he forged it!--nay he is (but) a poet! Let
him then bring us a Sign like the ones that were sent to (prophets) of old!" 2668
2668 The charges against Allah's inspired Messenger are heaped up, "Magic!" says one: that means, "We don't understand
it!" Says another, "Oh! but we know! he is a mere dreamer of confused dreams!" If the "dreams" fit in with real things
and vital experiences, another will suggest, "Oh yes! why drag in supernatural agencies? he is clever enough to forge
it himself!" Or another suggests, "He is a poet! Poets can invent things and say them in beautiful words!" Another
interposes, "What we should like to see is miracles, like those we read of in stories of the Prophets of old!" (21.5)
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith
Hadith 9.144
Narrated by
Abu HurairaAllah's Apostle said, "When the Day of Resurrection approaches, the dreams of a believer will hardly fail to come
true, and a dream of a believer is one of forty-six parts of prophetism, and whatever belongs to prothetism can never be
false." Muhammad bin Sirin said, "But I say this." He said, "It used to be said, 'There are three types of dreams: The reflection
of one's thoughts and experiences one has during wakefulness, what is suggested by Satan to frighten the dreamer, or glad
tidings from Allah. So, if someone has a dream which he dislikes, he should not tell it to others, but get up and offer a prayer.'
" He added, "He (Abu Huraira) hated to see a Ghul (i.e., iron collar around his neck in a dream) and people liked to see
fetters (on their feet in a dream). The fetters on the feet symbolizes one's constant and firm adherence to religion." And Abu
'Abdullah said, "Ghuls (iron collars) are used only for necks."

Visions
Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that Abu Salama ibn Abd ar-Rahman said, "I heard Abu Qatada ibn
Ribiyy say that he heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, say, 'The good dream is from
Allah, and the bad dream is from shaytan. When you see what you dislike, spit to your left side three times when you wake
up, and seek refuge with Allah from its evil. It will not harm you then, Allah willing.' " Abu Salama said, "I would see dreams
which weighed on me more heavily than a mountain. When I heard this hadith, I was not concerned about it."

Aisha
Allah's Apostle said (to me), "You have been shown to me twice in (my) dreams. A man was carrying you in a silken cloth and
said to me, 'This is your wife.' I uncovered it; and behold, it was you. I said to myself, 'If this dream is from Allah, He will cause
it to come true.' "
