Vision

And [subsequently] the king said, "Indeed, I have seen [in a dream] seven fat cows being eaten by seven [that were] lean, and seven green spikes [of grain] and others [that were] dry. O eminent ones, explain to me my vision, if you should interpret visions."

And [remember, O Muḥammad], when We told you, "Indeed, your Lord has encompassed the people."¹ And We did not make the sight which We showed you² except as a trial for the people, as was the accursed tree [mentioned] in the Qur’ān. And We threaten [i.e., warn] them, but it increases them not except in great transgression.

We called to him, "O Abraham,

You have fulfilled the vision." Indeed, We thus reward the doers of good.

Certainly has Allāh showed to His Messenger the vision [i.e., dream] in truth. You will surely enter al-Masjid al-Ḥarām, if Allāh wills, in safety, with your heads shaved and [hair] shortened,¹ not fearing [anyone]. He knew what you did not know and has arranged before that a conquest near [at hand].
