Khadijah asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about Waraqah bin Nawfal. He replied, "I saw him in a dream wearing white garments. I believe that if he were among the people of the Fire, he would not have been clothed in white."
أن خديجة سألت رسول الله ﷺ عن ورقة بن نوفل؟ فقال: قد رأيته في المنام عليه ثياب بياض، فأحسبه لو كان من أهل النار لم يكن عليه بياض.
Ahmad (24367) narrated it from Hasan bin Musa, who said, Ibn Lahia narrated to us, Abu Aswad narrated to us, from Urwa, from Ayesha, and he related it. Ibn Lahia has well-known criticism against him.Abdul-Razzaq (5/324) also narrated it from Mamar, from Zuhri, who said, The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about Waraqah bin Nawfal, as it has reached us, and he said, and he related it similarly. This mursal narration strengthens the first chain.It has also been narrated as a connected chain, but it is not sahih. Tirmidhi (2288) and Hakim (4/393) both narrated it through the path of Yunus bin Bukayr, who said, Uthman bin Abdul-Rahman narrated to me, from Zuhri, from Urwa, from Ayesha, and he related it.Tirmidhi said, This is a gharib hadith, and Uthman bin Abdul-Rahman is not considered strong by the scholars of hadith. As for Hakim, he said, "This hadith has a sahih chain." I say, it is not as he said, for Uthman bin Abdul-Rahman is al-Waqqasi, so named after his ancestor Abu Waqqas, and he is daif by the agreement of the scholars. Indeed, Ibn Main declared him a liar, and Ibn Hibban said, He narrates fabrications from trustworthy narrators, so it is not permissible to rely on him. Dhahabi criticized him on this basis in Talkhis al-Mustadrak, saying, "Discarded."
