Narrated Qais Bin Ubad: While I was sitting in the Masjid of Medina; there entered a man Abdullah Bin Salam with signs of solemnity over his face. The people said; He is one of the people of Paradise. He prayed two light rakat and then left. I followed him and said; When you entered the Masjid; the people said; He is one of the people of Paradise. He said; By Allah; one ought not say what he does not know; and I will tell you why. In the lifetime of the Prophet ﷺ I had a dream which I narrated to him. I saw as if I were in a garden. He then described its extension and greenery. He added: In its center there was an iron pillar whose lower end was fixed in the earth and the upper end was in the sky; and at its upper end there was a ring-shaped hand-hold. I was told to climb it. I said; I cant. Then a servant came to me and lifted my clothes from behind and I climbed till I reached the top of the pillar. Then I got hold of the hand-hold; and I was told to hold it tightly; then I woke up and the effect of the handhold was in my hand. I narrated AlI that to the Prophet ﷺ who said; The garden is Islam; and the handhold is the Most Truth-worthy Hand-Hold. So you will remain as a Muslim till you die. The narrator added: The man was Abdullah Bin Salam.
