Hadith 22583

حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ , وَحَجَّاجٌ , قَالَا : حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ ، عَنْ عَبْدِ رَبٍّ ، وَقَالَ حَجَّاجٌ : عَنْ عَبْدِ رَبِّهِ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ ، قَالَ : إِنْ كُنْتُ لَأَرَى الرُّؤْيَا تُمْرِضُنِي قَالَ : فَلَقِيتُ أَبَا قَتَادَةَ ، فَقَالَ : وَأَنَا فَكُنْتُ لَأَرَى الرُّؤْيَا تُمْرِضُنِي حَتَّى سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، يَقُولُ : " الرُّؤْيَا الصَّالِحَةُ مِنَ اللَّهِ ، وَإِذَا رَأَى أَحَدُكُمْ مَا يُحِبُّ ، فَلَا يُحَدِّثْ بِهَا إِلَّا مَنْ يُحِبُّ ، وَإِذَا رَأَى مَا يَكْرَهُ ، فَلْيَتْفُلْ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ ثَلَاثًا ، وَلْيَتَعَوَّذْ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ الرَّجِيمِ وَشَرِّهَا ، وَلَا يُحَدِّثْ بِهَا أَحَدًا ، فَإِنَّهَا لَا تَضُرُّهُ " , قَالَ حَجَّاجٌ : قَالَ شُعْبَةُ : فَقُلْتُ لَهُ : لِيَتَعَوَّذْ بِاللَّهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ ؟ قَالَ : نَعَمْ.
Abu Salamah (may Allah have mercy on him) says that sometimes I used to see frightening dreams which would make me ill. One day I met Hazrat Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) and I mentioned this to him. He said that sometimes I also used to see such dreams which would make me ill, until I heard the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) say: Good dreams are from Allah, so when any of you sees a good dream, he should relate it only to the one whom he loves. And whoever sees a disliked dream should not mention it to anyone, but after seeing the dream, he should spit lightly three times to his left and seek refuge in Allah from its evil. In this way, that dream will not harm him.
