Imam Ibn Sirin

Dreams and Interpretations (Ibn Sireen, Hathurani tr.) · p. 15

If a person sees himself placing the Ka'bah behind his back or performing salaah on top of the Ka'bah, it is a sign that he has abandoned Islam. An Incident: A man once came to Sa'eed ibne Musayyib (RA) and said: " have seen (in my dream) that I am performing salaah on top of the Ka'bah". '. He replied: "Fear Allah! for it seems to me you have forsaken Islam". The man said: "Your excellency! I hereby offer my repentance in your presence for I have been advocating the beliefs of the Qadriyyah sect since two months."'
