This article examines dreaming as an Islamic practice of historical inquiry among traditionalist Muslims of Central Java, Indonesia. Combining insights from the anthropologies of Islam and history, it looks at alternative praxes of history, how they are interpreted through Islamic frameworks, and how they generate forms of religious authority. The article follows the work of a Sufi master, Habib Luthfi bin Yahya, in identifying old unmarked graves as saintly tombs through dreams. Successful history‐making projects have resulted in the increasing – albeit contested – recognition of Habib Luthfi's role as a dreaming saint, a form of Islamic authority premised on his perceived ability to oneirically explore the past on behalf of others and arbitrate history. By observing the connection between praxes of history and the formation of religious authority, the article calls for the broadening of anthropological studies of Islam beyond their current preoccupation with the religion's prescriptive dimension.

梦想中的圣徒：中爪哇省的探索权和伊斯兰历史的重中之重

本文探讨了做梦作为印度尼西亚中爪哇省传统主义穆斯林之间历史探究的一种伊斯兰实践。它结合了伊斯兰人类学和历史人类学的见解，着眼于历史的另类根基，如何通过伊斯兰框架来解释它们以及它们如何产生宗教权威的形式。本文遵循苏菲派大师哈比卜·卢斯菲·本·雅赫亚（Habib Luthfi bin Yahya）的工作，他将未标记的旧坟墓确定为梦中的圣墓。成功的历史项目使人们对哈比卜·卢斯菲（Habib Luthfi）作为梦sa以求的人的角色的认可度不断提高，尽管存在争议，这是一种伊斯兰权威的形式，其前提是他具有代表他人讽刺地探索过去和仲裁历史的能力。通过观察历史根源与宗教权威形成之间的联系，文章呼吁扩大对伊斯兰的人类学研究，使其超出目前对宗教规定范围的关注。
