Digging the Grave of a Dead Person

Dreams and Interpretations (Ibn Sireen, Hathurani tr.) · p. 77

If a person sees himself digging the grave of a dead person who is known to him it means he will follow in his footsteps in worldly as well as religious matters. If he is unknown to him, he will pursue a matter wherein he will not succeed. An Incident: It is related that when Imaam Aboo Haneefah (RA) was still a child, he dreamed that he was digging the grave of Rasoolullah (sallallaahu-alayhi-wasallam). He related the dream to one of his tutors in the maktab. The teacher said to him: "My child, if your dream is genuine then you will follow in the footsteps of Rasoolullah (sallallaahu-alayhi-wasallam) and you will also do great research in his shari'ah". Every word of the interpretation manifested itself to be true and correct as is known by one and all.
