The Dream of Shaykh Osama bin Laden (may Allah have mercy on him)

This incident was narrated to me by a student of knowledge who spent more than 20 years in the company of scholars acquiring knowledge. He told me about a dream that Shaykh Osama bin Laden had when he was 9 years old, which indicated that Allah swt was preparing Shaykh Osama bin Laden, may Allah have mercy on him, since childhood, for battles against the Crusaders.

He told me that once he was sitting with a companion and discussing the deplorable condition of the Ummah but that all the incidents taking place in the Muslim Ummah are going according to Allah’s plan and that it is certain that the victory of Allah the Almighty will come. He will surely send a Leader and a Guide from amongst our Ummah who will deliver the humiliated and pitiful Ummah to the enlightened path of ascent and loftiness. We started thinking that who could be such a person!

Immediately, the thought of Shaykh Osama bin Laden came to our minds, since he has made innumerable sacrifices for the sake of the Ummah. On this, my companion smiled and said, “I will narrate to you a dream of Shaykh Osama bin Laden; you will be pleased to hear it, and your love for the mujahideen will only increase.”

He said, “I was in al-Madinah al-Munawwarah at the house of a Scholar who used to lecture at the Prophet’s masjid. We had just arrived at his house when someone knocked on the door. The Shaykh returned with a person of luminous and honorable appearance who was about 80 years old.

“The host welcomed him and requested the Tafsir of a few verses from the Qur’an. We quietly listened to him while the guest Shaykh recited a few verses, and then he gave the Tafsir of those verses. By Allah, I had studied a number of Tafsirs, but that Shaykh was a sea of knowledge. When he completed his lesson, the host invited him for a meal, but he declined politely, and we came to understand that he was fasting.

“Eventually, the guest asked for permission to leave, but the host insisted,
‘Until you narrate to us the dream of Shaykh Osama bin Laden once more, you will not get the permission to leave.’

“The Shaykh smiled and asked, ‘The dream that Shaykh Osama bin Laden had
when he was 9 years old?’ The host replied in the affirmative.

This is how that Shaykh narrated the incident:

“’I was a close friend of Muhammed bin Laden, the father of Osama bin Laden.
Many times I would be in his company. And many times, I used to visit his house
regarding work related to construction. During the discussions, our talk would
be disturbed by the playing of his children, and then he would ask them to go
out and play.

“’But I was surprised to see that he would always ask one particular son to
sit beside him. I asked him, “Why don’t you let this son of yours to play
with his other brothers? Is he sick?”

“’Mohammed bin Laden smiled and said, “No, there something special about
this son of mine.”’

“’When I asked his name, he said, “His name is Osama, and he is 9 years
old. Let me share with you something strange which happened a few days ago. My son woke me up few minutes before the morning prayer and told me, ‘Dear
father, I want to tell you about a dream that I had.’ I thought he must have
had a nightmare. I made ablution and took him along with me to Masjid.

“’“On the way, he told me, ‘In the dream, I saw myself in a huge, flat
area. I saw an army mounted on white horses moving towards me. All of them were wearing black turbans. One of the horsemen, who had shiny eyes, came up to me and asked me, “Are you Osama bin Muhammed bin Laden?” I replied, “Yes.” He then asked me again, “Are you Osama bin Muhammed bin Laden?” I again replied, “Yes, that is me.” He again asked, “Are you Osama bin Muhammed bin Laden?” Then I said, “By Allah, I am Osama bin Laden.” He moved a flag towards me and said, “Hand this flag over to Imam Mahdi Muhammad bin Abdullah at the gates of Al-Quds.” I took the flag from him, and I saw that the army started marching behind me.’

“’Muhammed bin Laden said, “I was surprised at that but, due to business
at work, I forgot about the dream. The next morning, he woke me up just before the morning prayer and narrated the same dream. The same thing happened on the third morning also. Now, I began to worry for my son. I decided to take him with me to a knowledgeable person who can interpret dreams.

“’“Accordingly, I took Osama to a person of knowledge and informed him
about the whole incident. He looked at us with surprise and asked, ‘Is this
your same son who had the dream?’ I said, ‘Yes.” He kept staring at Osama
for some time. My concern multiplied. He comforted me and said, ‘I will ask
you a few questions. I am sure that you will answer them truthfully.’

“’“He asked Osama, ‘Son, do you remember anything about that flag which
that horseman gave you?’ Osama replied, ‘Yes, I remember it.’

“’“He asked him, ‘Can you describe it, how it was?’

“’“Osama said, ‘It was similar to the flag of Saudi Arabia, but its
color was not green but black, and there was something written on it in white
color.’

“’“He then put the next question to Osama, ‘Did you ever see yourself
also fighting?’ Osama replied, ‘I commonly see such dreams.’ He then asked
Osama to go out of the room and do recitation of the Qur’an.

“’“Then that person of knowledge turned towards me and asked, ‘Where is
your ancestry from?’

“’“I replied from Hadramawt in Yemen. Then, he asked me to tell him
something about my tribe. I replied that we are related to the tribe of Shanwah which is a Qahtani tribe from Yemen. He then cried out the Takbir loudly and called in Osama and kissed him while crying. He also said that the signs of the hour are near.

“’“’O Muhammed bin Laden, this son of yours will prepare an army for
Imam Mahdi and for the sake of protecting his religion, he will migrate to the region of Khurasan [Afghanistan]. O Osama ! Blessed is he who will do Jihad by your side and undone and disappointed be he who leaves you alone and fights against you.’”’”

[1] On the authority of Thawban, the Messenger of Allah (upon whom be blessings and peace) said:The Prophet Sallallahu ‘Alaihi Wa Sallam said: “Before your treasure, three will kill each other — all of them are sons of a different caliph but none will be the recipient. Then the Black Banners will appear from the East and they will kill you in a way that has never before been done by a nation.”

Thawban, a companion said: ‘Then he said something that I do not remember by heart’ then continued to say that the Prophet, praise and peace be upon him, said: “If you see him give him your allegiance, even if you have to crawl over ice, because surely he is the Caliph of Allah, the Mahdi. If you see the black (meaning war) flags coming from Khurasan (Afghanistan), join that army, even if you have to crawl over ice, for this is the army of the Caliph, the Mahdi and no one can stop that army until it reaches Jerusalem.”
(Son of Majah, Al Busiri, Al Hakim, Ahmad Nuaym, Ad-Daylami, Hasan, son of Sufyaan, and Abu Nuaym.)

Related by Abu Hurayrah: The Prophet Sallallahu ‘Alaihi Wa Sallam said: “(Armies carrying) black flags will come from Khurasan (Afghanistan). No power will be able to stop them and they will finally reach Jerusalem where they will erect their flags.” (Tirmidhi)

 

Muhammad, son of Al Hanaffia, said:”The Black Banners will come out for the children of Al Abbas. The other black banners will come from Khurasan [Afghanistan area]. Their turbans will be black and their clothes white. At their front will be a man named Shuayb, the son of Salih, from Tamim. They will defeat the companions of The Sufyaani until he comes to the House of Jerusalem where he will establish his power for the Mahdi, and he will be supplied with three hundred (men) from Syria after his arrival and the matter will be settled for the Mahdi in seventy-two months (six years).”
