Jami at-Tirmidhi 2285 (Book 34, Hadith 16) #27918
The Varied Nature of Religion

SUMMARY: The Prophet (s.a.w) saw people wearing shirts of different lengths in a dream, and interpreted it to mean that the religion of Islam is varied and diverse.

Abu Umamah bin Sahl bin Hunaif narrated from some of the companions of the Prophet (s.a.w) that the Prophet (s.a.w) said: "While I was sleeping I saw people presented before me, and that they were wearing shirts. Some of them (the shirts) reaching their breasts, and some of them reaching below that". He said: "Then 'Umar was presented before me and he was wearing a shirt that was dragging". They said: "How did you interpret that O Messenger of Allah?" He said: "The religion".
حَدَّثَنَا الْحُسَيْنُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْجُرَيْرِيُّ الْبَلْخِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ، عَنْ مَعْمَرٍ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، عَنْ أَبِي أُمَامَةَ بْنِ سَهْلِ بْنِ حُنَيْفٍ، عَنْ بَعْضِ، أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ قَالَ ‏"‏ بَيْنَمَا أَنَا نَائِمٌ رَأَيْتُ النَّاسَ يُعْرَضُونَ عَلَىَّ وَعَلَيْهِمْ قُمُصٌ مِنْهَا مَا يَبْلُغُ الثُّدِيَّ وَمِنْهَا مَا يَبْلُغُ أَسْفَلَ مِنْ ذَلِكَ فَعُرِضَ عَلَىَّ عُمَرُ وَعَلَيْهِ قَمِيصٌ يَجُرُّهُ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالُوا فَمَا أَوَّلْتَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏"‏ الدِّينَ

EXPLANATIONS:
In this hadith, the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ was given a dream in which he saw people wearing shirts of different lengths. He interpreted this to mean that the religion of Islam is varied and diverse, with no one person having all the answers or understanding everything about it. This teaches us that we should not be too quick to judge others for their beliefs or practices, as everyone has their own interpretation and understanding of what it means to be Muslim. We should also strive to learn more about our faith so that we can better understand its diversity and appreciate its beauty.
