Sahih al-Bukhari 3681 (Book 62, Hadith 31) #3514
The Significance of Knowledge

SUMMARY: The Prophet saw himself drinking milk in a dream and interpreted it as knowledge.

Narrated Hamza's father: Allah's Messenger said, "While I was sleeping, I saw myself drinking (ie milk), and I was so contented that I saw the milk flowing through my nails. Then I gave (the milk) to 'Umar". They (ie the companions of the Prophet) asked, "What do you interpret it?" He said, "Knowledge".
حَدَّثَنِي مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ الصَّلْتِ أَبُو جَعْفَرٍ الْكُوفِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ الْمُبَارَكِ، عَنْ يُونُسَ، عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ، قَالَ أَخْبَرَنِي حَمْزَةُ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏"‏ بَيْنَا أَنَا نَائِمٌ شَرِبْتُ ـ يَعْنِي اللَّبَنَ ـ حَتَّى أَنْظُرُ إِلَى الرِّيِّ يَجْرِي فِي ظُفُرِي أَوْ فِي أَظْفَارِي، ثُمَّ نَاوَلْتُ عُمَرَ ‏"‏‏.‏ فَقَالُوا فَمَا أَوَّلْتَهُ قَالَ ‏"‏ الْعِلْمَ
