Sahih al-Bukhari 7009 (Book 91, Hadith 27) #6738
Different Levels of Religion

SUMMARY: The Prophet saw a dream in which people were wearing shirts of different lengths, and interpreted it to mean that the religion will be of different levels.

Narrated Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri: I heard Allah's Messenger saying, "While I was sleeping, I saw (in a dream) the people being displayed before me, wearing shirts, some of which (were so short that it) reached as far as their breasts and some reached below that. Then 'Umar bin Al-Khattab was shown to me and he was wearing a shirt which he was dragging (behind him)". They asked. What have you interpreted (about the dream)? O Allah's Messenger ?" He said, "The religion".
حَدَّثَنَا سَعِيدُ بْنُ عُفَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنِي اللَّيْثُ، حَدَّثَنِي عُقَيْلٌ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو أُمَامَةَ بْنُ سَهْلٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ ـ رضى الله عنه ـ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ ‏"‏ بَيْنَا أَنَا نَائِمٌ رَأَيْتُ النَّاسَ عُرِضُوا عَلَىَّ، وَعَلَيْهِمْ قُمُصٌ، فَمِنْهَا مَا يَبْلُغُ الثَّدْىَ، وَمِنْهَا مَا يَبْلُغُ دُونَ ذَلِكَ، وَعُرِضَ عَلَىَّ عُمَرُ بْنُ الْخَطَّابِ وَعَلَيْهِ قَمِيصٌ يَجْتَرُّهُ ‏"‏‏.‏ قَالُوا فَمَا أَوَّلْتَهُ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ قَالَ ‏"‏ الدِّينَ

EXPLANATIONS:
In this hadith, the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ saw a dream in which he was shown people wearing shirts of different lengths. Some reached as far as their chests while others were longer. He then saw Umar bin Al-Khattab wearing a shirt that was dragging behind him. When asked what he interpreted from this dream, the Prophet ﷺ said that it meant religion would be of different levels. This hadith teaches us that there are various levels to our faith and we should strive to reach the highest level possible by following Allah's commands and teachings. We should also remember that even if someone is not at our level yet, we should still treat them with respect and kindness as they may one day reach higher than us in faith.
