Sahih al-Bukhari 82 (Book 3, Hadith 24) #82
The Dream of Religious Knowledge

SUMMARY: The Prophet (ﷺ) had a dream in which he was given a cup of milk and drank from it until its wetness came out of his nails. He then gave the remaining milk to Umar Ibn Al-Khattab, and interpreted the dream as religious knowledge.

Narrated Ibn 'Umar: Allah's Messenger said, "While I was sleeping, I saw that a cup full of milk was brought to me and I drank my fill till I noticed (the milk) its wetness coming out of my nails. Then I gave the remaining milk to 'Umar Ibn Al-Khattab" The companions of the Prophet asked, "What have you interpreted (about this dream)? "O Allah's Messenger ,!" he replied, "(It is religious) knowledge".
حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عُفَيْرٍ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي اللَّيْثُ، قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عُقَيْلٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ حَمْزَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ ابْنَ عُمَرَ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏"‏ بَيْنَا أَنَا نَائِمٌ أُتِيتُ بِقَدَحِ لَبَنٍ، فَشَرِبْتُ حَتَّى إِنِّي لأَرَى الرِّيَّ يَخْرُجُ فِي أَظْفَارِي، ثُمَّ أَعْطَيْتُ فَضْلِي عُمَرَ بْنَ الْخَطَّابِ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالُوا فَمَا أَوَّلْتَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏"‏ الْعِلْمَ

EXPLANATIONS:
In this hadith, the Prophet Muhammad (ﷺ) is narrating a dream he had in which he was given a cup full of milk. He drank from it until its wetness came out of his nails, indicating that he had taken in all that he could from the cup. He then gave what remained to Umar Ibn Al-Khattab, symbolizing that knowledge should be shared with others. The companions asked him what this meant and he replied that it was religious knowledge - indicating that one should strive to gain as much religious knowledge as possible and share it with others so they can benefit too. This teaches us an important lesson about seeking knowledge and sharing it with those around us for their benefit as well.
