Question:
I saw a dream that a white sheep was eating 3 skinned lambs, and the skinned lambs were only 2 inches long. And when sheep ate those lambs they stayed in sheep’s mouth and stayed alive. The lambs did not die in sheep’s mouth. Can you please interpret this.
Answer:
A`udhu billahi min ash-shaytan ir-rajim

Wa `alaykumu s-salāmu wa rahmatu l-lāhi wa barakātuh
This dream is to teach you and all us that we should beware of backbiting and backbiters as nothing good will come from it as our Shaykh is always reminding us :
عَنْ أَنَسِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ , قَالَ : قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ : ” لَمَّا عُرِجَ بِي مَرَرْتُ بِقَوْمٍ لَهُمْ أَظْفَارٌ مِنْ نُحَاسٍ يَخْمِشُونَ وُجُوهَهُمْ وَصُدُورَهُمْ , فَقُلْتُ : مَنْ هَؤُلاءِ يَا جِبْرِيلُ ؟ قَالَ : هَؤُلاءِ الَّذِينَ يَأْكُلُونَ لُحُومَ النَّاسِ وَيَقَعُونَ فِي أَعْرَاضِهِمْ ” .
Lamaa u`riju bee marartu bi qawmin lahu azhfaarum min nuhaasin yakhmashoona wujoohahum wa sudoorahum. qultu: man haa’oolaa’i yaa jibreel? Qaala: haa’oolaa’i’Lladheena yaakuloona lahoom an-naasi wa yaq`oon fee aa`radihim.
Anas bin Malik (r ) related that the Prophet (s) said:
When I went on Mi`raaj, Ascension, I passed by a group of people in Hellfire and I was seeing them. They had big nails made from copper (metal) and they scratched their faces with them. (Musnad of Imam Ahmad.)
When they scratch their faces with them, what happens? All kinds of pus and blood is coming from them. [I am narrating this] because today one person said to me, “Tell us something to be happy,” so this is to be happy! Sayyidina Mika’eel (a) never smiled.
With their nails they are scratching their faces and chests, and I asked Jibreel (a), man ha’oola, “Who are these people?” and he said, “These are the ones who were eating the raw flesh of people and delving into their honor.”
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا إِن جَاءكُمْ فَاسِقٌ بِنَبَأٍ فَتَبَيَّنُوا أَن تُصِيبُوا قَوْمًا بِجَهَالَةٍ فَتُصْبِحُوا عَلَى مَا فَعَلْتُمْ نَادِمِينَ
O you who believe! If a corrupt person comes to you with something wrong, ascertain the truth unless you harm people unwittingly and afterwards become full of repentance for what you have done. (Surat al-Hujuraat, 49:6)
And the other verse:
يَا أَيُّهَا الَّذِينَ آمَنُوا اجْتَنِبُوا كَثِيرًا مِّنَ الظَّنِّ إِنَّ بَعْضَ الظَّنِّ إِثْمٌ وَلَا تَجَسَّسُوا وَلَا يَغْتَب بَّعْضُكُم بَعْضًا أَيُحِبُّ أَحَدُكُمْ أَن يَأْكُلَ لَحْمَ أَخِيهِ مَيْتًا فَكَرِهْتُمُوهُ وَاتَّقُوا اللَّهَ إِنَّ اللَّهَ تَوَّابٌ رَّحِيمٌ
O Believers! Avoid suspicion as much as possible, for suspicion in some cases is a sin. And spy not on each other behind their backs. Would any of you like to eat the flesh of his dead brother? No, you would abhor it. But fear Allah, for Allah is Oft-Returning, Most Merciful. (Surat al-Hujuraat, 49:12)
That is hadith of Prophet (s) and that is the ayatof Holy Qur’an. Those people who are scratching their faces and chests are the ones speaking gheebah and
