أخبرنا أحمد بن محمد الهمداني الكوفي، قال: حدثنا محمد بن عبد الله بن سالم، [سمعت أبي]، قال: سمعت هشام بن مهران، يقول: رؤي أبو حنيفة في النوم كأنه ينبش قبر النبي ﷺ، فبعث من يسأل محمد بن سيرين، فقال ابن سيرين: مَن صاحب هذه الرؤيا؟ ولم يجبه عنها، ثم سأله الثانية فقال: مثل ذلك، ثم سأله الثالثة، فقال: صاحب هذه الرؤيا يثور علماً لم يسبقه إليه أحد قبله، قال هشام: ففطن أبو حنيفة رحمة الله عليه حينئذ وتكلم.

Aḥmad ibn Muḥammad al-Hamadhānī al-Kūfī informed us: Muḥammad ibn ʿAbd Allāh ibn Sālim related to us: [I heard my father:] He said: I heard Hishām ibn Mihrān say: Abū Ḥanīfa was seen in a dream as though opening the Prophet’s grave—God bless him and grant him peace. He sent someone to ask Muḥammad ibn Sīrīn. Ibn Sīrīn said, ‘Who is the person of this dream?’ and did not interpret it for him. He asked him a second time, and he said the same thing. He asked him a third time, and he said, ‘The person of this dream will bring forth knowledge in which no one before him has preceded him.’ Hishām said: Abū Ḥanīfa—may God have mercy on him—then understood and began to speak.
