Narrated Anas ibn Maalik رضي الله عنه: Allaah’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said:
رأيت ذات ليلة ،
فيما يرى النائم ، كأنا في دار عقبة بن رافع . فأتينا برطب من رطب
ابن طاب . فأولت الرفعة لنا في الدنيا والعاقبة في الآخرة . وأن ديننا قد طاب
“I saw during the
night that which a person sees during the sleep (i.e. a dream) as if we are in
the house of `Uqbah ibn Raafi` that there was brought to us the fresh Ratab dates
(from the fields) of Ibn Taab. I interpreted it as: the sublimity for us in the
world and good ending in the Hereafter and that our religion is good.”
[Saheeh Muslim (5647)]
Meaning
of the words:
عقبة [`Uqbah]: The root word is عاقب [`Aaqib] which means: end, next,
subsequent, succeeding.
رافع [Raafi`]: The root word رفع [Raf`] means: to raise, to lift. And
رفعة [Rif`ah] means: sublimity, highness, loftiness,
superiority, exaltedness etc.
رطب [Ratab]: A type of dates
(see picture below).
طاب [Taab]: to become good, pleasant, to
become sweet. The dates of Ibn Taab were famous. The attribution here is to Ibn
Taab who was a man from the people of Madeenah.
