Hazrat Sa’d (radhiyallahu ‘anhu) explains: Prior to accepting Islam, I had a dream in which I saw that I was in absolute darkness and was unable to see anything. Suddenly, a moon appeared which began to illuminate the night. I then followed the light until I reached the moon. In the dream, I saw certain people who had preceded me in reaching the moon. I saw Zaid bin Haarithah, Ali bin Abi Taalib and Abu Bakr (radhiyallahu ‘anhum) present by the moon. I asked them, “When did you people arrive here (by the moon)?” They replied, “We have arrived here at this very moment.”
