Khalaf ibn Hisham and Abu al-Rabi' narrated to us, both from Hammad ibn Zayd—and the wording is that of Abu al-Rabi'—Hammad narrated to us, Hisham narrated to us, from his father, from 'A'ishah, that she said: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "I saw you in a dream for three nights. The angel brought you to me in a wrap of silk, and he said, 'This is your wife.' I would uncover your face, and there you were. So I said, 'If this is from Allah, He will bring it to pass.'"
