The one who does not consider the interpretation of the first interpreter if it is incorrect

‘Ubaydullah ibn ‘Abdullah ibn ‘Utba related that Ibn ‘Abbas that a man went to the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, and said, “I had a dream in which I saw a cloud dripping ghee and honey and I saw the people picking it up with their hands, some taking a lot and some a little. There was a rope which reached from earth to heaven. I saw you take hold of it and go up it. Then another man took hold of it and went up it. Then yet another man took hold of it and went up it. Then another man took it, but it broke and then was connected again.” Abu Bakr said, “O Messenger of Allah, may my father be your ransom, by Allah, let me interpret it!” The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, “Interpret it.” He said, “The cloud is Islam and the honey and ghee dripping from it is the Qur’an. Its sweetness drips and some people have a lot of the Qur’an and some have a little. As for the rope reaching from heaven to earth, it is the Truth which you have. You take it and so Allah will elevate you. Then another man after you will take it and will rise by it. Then another man will take it and rise by it. Then another man will take and it will break for him and then it will be reconnected and he will rise by it. Tell me, Messenger of Allah, may my father be your ransom, and I right or wrong?” The Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, “You are right about some and wrong about some.” He said, “By Allah, you must tell that about which I am wrong!” The Prophet , may Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, “Do not swear.”
