Hadith 22635

حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَعِيدٍ ، حَدَّثَنَا حَرْبٌ ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ ، عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ ، أَنّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ ، قَالَ : " مَنْ رَأَى رُؤْيَا تُعْجِبُهُ فَلْيُحَدِّثْ بِهَا ، فَإِنَّهَا بُشْرَى مِنَ اللَّهِ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ ، وَمَنْ رَأَى رُؤْيَا يَكْرَهُهَا فَلَا يُحَدِّثْ بِهَا ، وَلْيَتْفُلْ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ وَيَتَعَوَّذْ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ شَرِّهَا " .
It is narrated from Hazrat Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Good dreams are from Allah and bad dreams are from Satan. Therefore, if anyone sees a disliked dream, he should not mention it to anyone. Rather, after seeing the dream, he should spit lightly three times to his left side and seek refuge in Allah from its evil; in this way, that dream will not harm him.
