Musannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 32470 — Reports on interpreting dreams

Sayyiduna Abu Razin (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that he heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "A dream, so long as its interpretation has not been stated, is caught on the foot of a bird; then when its interpretation is stated, it comes to pass." He said: "A dream is one of the forty-six parts of prophethood." The narrator said: I think he (peace and blessings be upon him) also said: "Do not relate a dream to anyone except a friend or an intelligent man."
