Saydna Abu Bakr رضیﷲ عنه and his interpretation of dreams.

Saydna Abu bakr as Siddique was a great Oneirocritic/Dream interpreter, Allah had given him the knowledge to interpret the dreams, even though his interpretation of dreams are not that reported in mass, but whatever has been reported it proves that he was a master of this knowledge, following are some of the interpretations of dreams by Abu Bakr رضیﷲ عنه.

Sayyida Ayesha رضیﷲ عنها said "I saw in my dream that three moon fell down in my room and I asked regarding this to Saydna Abu bakr so he said: if your dream comes true then O' Ayesha three best of the people on earth will be buried in your room, and when Prophet Mohammad ﷺ died and got buried then Saydna Abu bakr said to me, O' Ayesha he's one of the the three moons, and he's the most beautiful moon among the three.

[Musannaf ibn Abi Shaybah 179/6, al Mustadrak al Hakim 62/3, Sanad classified as sahih]
Thereafter Abu bakr and Umar, both of them buried in the room of Sayyida Ayesha.

Imam Masrooq Tabai (disciple of Sahaba) رحمہ اللہ said

مَرَّ صُهَيْبٌ بِأَبِي بَكْرٍ فَأَعْرَضَ عَنْهُ، فَقَالَ: مَالَكَ أَعْرَضْتَ عَنِّي؟ أَبْلَغَكَ شَيْءٌ تَكْرَهُهُ، قَالَ: لَا، وَاللَّهِ إِلَّا الرُّؤْيَا رَأَيْتُهَا كَرِهْتُهَا، قَالَ: وَمَا رَأَيْتَ؟ قَالَ: " رَأَيْتُ يَدَكَ مَغْلُولَةً إِلَى عُنُقِكَ عَلَى بَابِ رَجُلٍ مِنَ الْأَنْصَارِ يُقَالُ لَهُ: أَبُو الْحَشْرِ، فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ:

Saydna Suhaib رضیﷲ عنه passed by Saydna Abu bakr رضیﷲ عنه and showed dissatisfaction over something, He asked it's reason, he replied there's nothing but By Allah I saw a dream which I disliked, he was asked, what was the dream? then he told him, I saw your hands around an ansari man Abul hashr at his door, so Abu Bakr replied to him,

نِعْمَ مَا رَأَيْتَ، جَمَعَ لِي دَيْنِي إِلَى يَوْمِ الْحَشْرِ
You saw a good dream and it's interpretation is "Allah عزوجل preserved my deen till the day of Judgement"

[Musannaf ibn Abi Shaybah 179/6, narrators are trustworthy]

Mohammad ibn Sireen رحمہ اللہ reported

 رأى عبد الله بن بديل رؤيا فقصها على أبي بكر، فقال: إن صدقت رؤياك فإنك ستقتل في أمر ذي لبس، فقتل يوم صفين.
that Abdullah ibn Budayl رضیﷲ عنه saw a dream and told Saydna Abu bakr about it so Abu bakr replied to him if your dream comes true than you will be killed between the fight which  caused upon the misunderstanding, the narration said later Abdullah ibn Budayl رضیﷲ عنه got martyred in the battle of Siffeen.

[Musannaf ibn Abd ar Razzaq 213/11 sanad classified as Sahih till ibn Sireen]

Abu Qulaba رحمہ اللہ narrated that

أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتَى أَبَا بَكْرٍ فَقَالَ: إِنِّي §رَأَيْتُ فِي النَّوْمِ كَأَنِّي أَبُولُ دَمًا، قَالَ: «أَرَاكَ تَأْتِي امْرَأَتَكَ وَهِيَ حَائِضٌ»، قَالَ: نَعَمْ، قَالَ: «فَاتَّقِ اللَّهَ»

A man came to Abu bakr رضیﷲ عنه and told him that he saw in his dream that he's urinating blood, so Saydna Abu bakr asked him I think you do intercourse with your wife during her menstruation cycle? he replied in affirmative so Abu bakr advised him to fear Allah and do not repeat this again.

[Musannaf ibn Abi Shaybah 88/3 narrators are trustworthy but it is disconnected/Munqata]
