Prophet (sws) in my dream
BismillahirRahmanirRahim
Once upon a time one dervish was going back and forth saying to his Sheykh, “I want to see the Prophet (sws). I cannot see the Prohpet (sws) in my dream.”
“Don’t worry. I will pray for you. You will see it tonight.”
The next day he comes, “I didn’t see it again.”
“Don’t worry. I will pray for you. You will see it tonight.”
Tonight, tonight and finally Sheykh said to him, “Do you know fish that has a lot of salt? Salty fish?”
“Yes.”
“From tomorrow morning you are going to start eating that fish up till nighttime. You are not going to drink any water and you are going to go to sleep. That night you are going to see the Prophet (sws) in your dream. It’s connected to that. To see the Prophet (sws) you must have that fish. Lots of salt in it.”
“Really my Sheikh?”
“Yes, tomorrow. Start early in the morning.” He started. He ate all day long, stopping from time to time saying, “I am going to see the Prophet (sws), I must eat more, I must eat more.” He was so thirsty. Sheykh said to him, “You cannot drink any water.” He went to sleep that night. Next morning he got up very sad coming in front of the Sheykh. “What happened? Did you see the Prophet (sws) in your dream?”
” No Ya Sheykh. What Prophet? All night long I was seeing waters and springs.”
“Huh! You saw a real dream now”, Sheykh said to him. “You did see a dream. The love that you have to that water – because you had so much thirst – now you have love to that water. The love that you have to that water, it made it to come to your dream. That water came to your dream because you didn’t drink it. When that much love you have to the Prophet (sws) then you are going to see the Prophet (sws) in your dream.”
