Sahih al-Bukhari 3441 (Book 60, Hadith 111) #3289
The Dream of the Prophet Muhammad

SUMMARY: This hadith is about the Prophet Muhammad's dream in which he saw two men, one of brown complexion and lank hair who was identified as Jesus, and another red-complexioned, fat, curly-haired man who was identified as Ad-Dajjal.

Narrated Salim from his father: No, By Allah, the Prophet did not tell that Jesus was of red complexion but said, "While I was asleep circumambulating the Ka'ba (in my dream), suddenly I saw a man of brown complexion and lank hair walking between two men, and water was dropping from his head. I asked, 'Who is this?' The people said, 'He is the son of Mary'. Then I looked behind and I saw a red-complexioned, fat, curly-haired man, blind in the right eye which looked like a bulging out grape. I asked, 'Who is this?' They replied, 'He is Ad-Dajjal'. The one who resembled to him among the people, was Ibn Qatar". (Az-Zuhri said, "He (ie Ibn Qatan) was a man from the tribe Khuza'a who died in the pre-lslamic period")
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ الْمَكِّيُّ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ بْنَ سَعْدٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي الزُّهْرِيُّ، عَنْ سَالِمٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ،، قَالَ لاَ وَاللَّهِ مَا قَالَ النَّبِيُّ لِعِيسَى أَحْمَرُ، وَلَكِنْ قَالَ ‏ "‏ بَيْنَمَا أَنَا نَائِمٌ أَطُوفُ بِالْكَعْبَةِ، فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ آدَمُ سَبْطُ الشَّعَرِ، يُهَادَى بَيْنَ رَجُلَيْنِ، يَنْطِفُ رَأْسُهُ مَاءً أَوْ يُهَرَاقُ رَأْسُهُ مَاءً فَقُلْتُ مَنْ هَذَا قَالُوا ابْنُ مَرْيَمَ، فَذَهَبْتُ أَلْتَفِتُ، فَإِذَا رَجُلٌ أَحْمَرُ جَسِيمٌ، جَعْدُ الرَّأْسِ، أَعْوَرُ عَيْنِهِ الْيُمْنَى، كَأَنَّ عَيْنَهُ عِنَبَةٌ طَافِيَةٌ‏.‏ قُلْتُ مَنْ هَذَا قَالُوا هَذَا الدَّجَّالُ‏.‏ وَأَقْرَبُ النَّاسِ بِهِ شَبَهًا ابْنُ قَطَنٍ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالَ الزُّهْرِيُّ رَجُلٌ مِنْ خُزَاعَةَ هَلَكَ فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ‏.‏

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about a dream that the Prophet Muhammad had while he was circumambulating the Ka'ba. In this dream he saw two men; one of them was a man with brown complexion and lank hair who people said was Jesus. The other man had a red complexion, fat body and curly hair; people said this man was Ad-Dajjal. There were also similarities between these two men and people from pre Islamic period such as Ibn Qatan. This Hadith teaches us that we should be careful when interpreting dreams because they can be symbolic or metaphorical in nature rather than literal interpretations. It also teaches us to be wary of false prophets like Ad Dajjal who will try to deceive us by pretending to be someone else or claiming to have special powers or knowledge that they do not possess in reality.
