Two auspicious dreams

Syed Ahmed (rahmatullahi alaihe) was once blessed with the auspicious vision of the Beloved Prophet (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) in a dream.

In the dream, the Beloved Prophet of Allah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) lovingly placed three dates in the mouth of Syed Ahmed (rahmatullahi alaihe). Thereafter, the Beloved Messenger of Allah (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) fed Syed Ahmed (rahmatullahi alaihe) with great affection and care.

Upon awakening, Syed Ahmed (rahmatullahi alaihe) felt the sweet taste of dates in his mouth. Shortly afterwards, the goodness of both this world and of the hereafter started to manifest in the life of Syed Ahmed (rahmatullahi alaihe).

After some time, Syed Ahmed (rahmatullahi alaihe) saw Hazrat Ali (radi Allah unhu) and Hazrat Fatima (radi Allah unha) in a dream. In the dream, Hazrat Ali (radi Allah unhu) gave Syed Ahmed (rahmatullahi alaihe) a bath just as a father would give his son a bath. Afterwards, Hazrat Fatima (radi Allah unha) dressed Syed Ahmed (rahmatullahi alaihe) in an attire of exquisite and unparalleled quality.

From that time onwards, the great ideals of the Beloved Prophet (sallallahu alaihe wa sallam) started to materialize in the life of Syed Ahmed (rahmatullahi alaihe).
