It is related that when Imaam Abu Hanifa RA- was still-child, he dreamed tht he was digging the grave of Prophet Muhammad Sallallaahu-Alayhi-wasallam- . He related the dream to one of his tutors in the maktab. The teacher said to him: ~“My child, if your dream is genuine then you will follow in the footsteps of Prophet Muhammad Sallallaahu-Alayhi-wasallam- and you will also do great research in his Shariah ~. Every word of the interpretation manifested itself to be true and correct as is known by one and all.
