Ibn Mājah likewise narrates—on the authority of al-Tufayl, ʿĀʾishah’s brother through her mother—who said: “I saw in a dream that I came upon a group of Jews and said, ‘You are indeed the people, were it not that you say: “ʿUzayr is the son of Allah.”’ They replied, ‘And you are indeed the people, were it not that you say: “Whatever Allah wills and whatever Muhammad wills.”’ Then I passed by a group of Christians and said, ‘You are indeed the people, were it not that you say: “The Messiah is the son of Allah.”’ They answered, ‘And you are indeed the people, were it not that you say: “Whatever Allah wills and whatever Muhammad wills.”’

“When morning came I told the dream to whomever I told, and then I went to the Prophet ﷺ and informed him. He asked, ‘Have you related it to anyone?’ I said, ‘Yes.’ He praised and extolled Allah, then said: ‘To proceed: Tufayl has seen a dream which he has related to some of you, and you have spoken a phrase that such-and-such had kept me from forbidding you. So do not say, “Whatever Allah wills and whatever Muhammad wills”; rather say, “Whatever Allah alone wills.”’ (1)
