In the dream, the Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) said: ((Ask Muhammad Naasiruddeen al-Albaanee))...

Concerning the Imaam of Hadeeth, the Shaykh - Muhammad Naasiruddeen al-Albaanee (rahima-hullaah), it has been narrated:

“And in my last meeting with him (rahima-hullaah), I narrated to him a dream which one of the brothers had.

And it was that this brother saw the Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam), so he (the brother) asked him: “If I find some difficulty in (any aspect of the science) of hadeeth, then who should I ask?”

So the Prophet (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) said: ((Ask Muhammad Naasiruddeen al-Albaanee)).

So, just as I completed this narration, I saw the Shaykh cry profusely, and he was continuously repeating:

((O Allaah do not take me to account for what they say (about me), and make me better than what they suspect (of me), and forgive me for that which they do not know (about me)))”.

al-Hamdu Lillaah, indeed the Shaykh has memorised a hundred thousand hadeeth...
*Please appropriately reference this quote to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
Shaykh 'Asheesh narrates an incident when the Imaam of Hadeeth, the Shaykh - Muhammad Naasiruddeen al-Albaanee (rahima-hullaah) was explaining the different scholarly levels of hadeeth, and Shaykh al-Albaanee went on to say:
"al-Haafidth is one who has memorised a hundred thousand hadeeth along with their chains of narration and the text (of each hadeeth)."

So Shaykh 'Asheesh responds:
"Is it possible for me to be satisfied in the knowledge that our Shaykh has memorised a hundred thousand hadeeth?"


Shaykh al-Albaanee said:
"This does not concern you."


Shaykh 'Asheesh said:
"Rather, it is from that which does concern me."


Shaykh al-Albaanee said:
"…does not concern you."

Shaykh 'Asheesh said:
"So is it possible for me to say that our Shaykh is a haafidth?"


So Shaykh al-Albaanee became quiet.

Shaykh 'Asheesh said:
"So is it possible for me to take your silence as an answer?"


Shaykh al-Albaanee said:
"Have I not told you that this does not concern you?"


Shaykh 'Asheesh said:
"Yes. This is from that which does concern me. Is it possible for me to interpret (your) lack of response as an answer?"


So the Shaykh became quiet.

And Shaykh 'Asheesh repeated his question to him a number of times.


Shaykh al-Albaanee recited:
"{And whatever you have of the blessings, then it is from Allaah}."


And Shaykh 'Asheesh quickly said:
"Can I interpret this as an answer?"


Shaykh al-Albaanee said:
"It is for you to interpret it as an answer and it is for you to interpret it as whatever you wish."


Shaykh 'Asheesh narrates:
"So I happily proclaimed: "Allaahu Akbar", and jubilantly exclaimed: "Laa ilaaha ill-Allaah", and said:
"al-Hamdu Lillaah, indeed the Shaykh has memorised a hundred thousand hadeeth."

So our Shaykh laughed; It was as if he confirmed what I was saying."

Shaykh 'Asheesh further narrates:
"From his responses from the beginning to the end there never was a clear answer from the Shaykh, so this does not imply anything except his extreme humility."

A sister from Algeria calls the Shaykh about a dream...
*Please appropriately reference this quote to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
Concerning the Imaam of Hadeeth, the Shaykh - Muhammad Naasiruddeen al-Albaanee (rahima-hullaah), it has been narrated:

Once a sister from Algeria called the Shaykh and said: "O Shaykh! I have news!"

The Shaykh said: "I hope Allaah has blessed you with good news".

She said: "One of the sisters had a dream, and I shall narrate it to you".

The Shaykh said: "I hope she saw (something) good".

She said: "O Shaykh! is this confirmed, that someone comes and narrates a dream to you and you say: "I hope you saw (something) good and (hopefully) it is good"? Is this confirmed from the Sunnah?".

The Shaykh said: "No. This is not confirmed, however, there is no harm in using this (term) sometimes".

She said: "This sister saw herself on a balcony which overlooked a path. And upon this path she saw the Messenger (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) by his (known) description. Then she saw me standing infront of the Messenger (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) and saw the Messenger (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) smiling at me, and I was smiling at him.

Then I called her, and said to her: "Come down. Come down with us."

So when she came down she asked me: "Who are you looking at?"

So I said: "Look at the one who looked at me", and she saw the Messenger (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam), then the Messenger (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam) smiled, and proceeded along the path.

We then walked together along the (same) path (the sister and I) and whilst we were walking we saw a Shaykh upon the (same) path, so we extended our greetings to him, we said: "as-Salaamu 'alaykum".

So he replied to us: "wa 'alaykum as-Salaam wa Rahmatullaahe wa Barakaatuhu."

Then this Shaykh asked us: "Did you see the Messenger (sal-Allaahu `alayhe wa sallam)?"

We said: "Yes, we saw him."

So this sister asked me: "Who is this Shaykh?"

So I said to her: "This is Shaykh al-Albaanee."." [end of dream]

The sister who had called the Shaykh, then said: "I ask Allaah to make this good news for you O Shaykh, and I wished to inform you O Shaykh, so hopefully it is good news, inshaa.-Allaah, that you are upon the way of the Sunnah, inshaa.-Allaah Ta'aala. So what do you say O Shaykh?"

Here, the Shaykh did not say a thing, rather, tears began pouring down (his face) and he cried profusely. He then asked those of the brothers who were in his gathering to leave.
