the dreams that the sleeper sees are in that state. If he is among those for whom Allah has decreed death in his sleep, the ruh (spirit) departs to the nafs (soul); and if he is among those whose term has not arrived, the nafs returns to the ruh, and he awakens.
"Indeed, in that are signs for a people who give thought," and they are the believers.
الأحلام الَّتِي يرى النَّائِم هِيَ فِي تِلْكَ الْحَال؛ فَإِن كَانَ مِمَّن كتب اللَّه عَلَيْهِ الْمَوْت فِي مَنَامه خرجت الرّوح إِلَى النَّفس، وَإِن كَانَ مِمَّن لم يحضر أَجله رجعت النَّفس إِلَى الرّوح فَاسْتَيْقَظَ.
﴿إِنَّ فِي ذَلِك لآيَات لقوم يتفكرون﴾ وهم الْمُؤْمِنُونَ
