2270. Abū Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: "When time draws near, the dreams of a believer will hardly ever fail to come true, and the most truthful of them in dreams will be the truest in speech among them.[1] The dream of a Muslim is a portion among the forty-six portions of Prophethood. And dreams are of three types: The righteous dream which is good news from Allāh, dreams in which the Shaitān frightens someone, and dreams about something that has happened to the man himself. So when one of you sees what he dislikes, then he should get up and spit, and not tell any of the people – he said: – and I like the fetters in a dream while I dislike the iron collar.” And the interpretation of fetters is being firm in the religion. (Sahih) He said: This Hadith is [Hasan] Sahih.

٢٢٧٠ - حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ الثَّقَفِيُّ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «إِذَا اقْتَرَبَ» الزَّمَانُ لَمْ تَكَدْ رُؤْيَا الْمُؤْمِنِ تَكْذِبُ، وَأَصْدَقُهُمْ رُؤْيَا أَصْدَقُهُمْ حَدِيثًا، وَرُؤْيَا الْمُسْلِمِ جُزْءٌ مِنْ سِتَّةٍ وَأَرْبَعِينَ جُزْءًا مِنَ النُّبُوَّةِ، وَالرُّؤْيَا ثَلَاثٌ؛ فَالرُّؤْيَا الصَّالِحَةُ بُشْرَى مِنَ اللهِ، وَالرُّؤْيَا مِنْ تَحْزِينِ الشَّيْطَانِ، وَالرُّؤْيَا مِمَّا يُحَدِّثُ بِهَا الرَّجُلُ نَفْسَهُ، فَإِذَا رَأَى أَحَدُكُمْ مَا يَكْرَهُ فَلْيَقُمْ وَلْيَتْفُلْ وَلَا يُحَدِّثْ بِهَا النَّاسَ. قَالَ: وَأُحِبُّ الْقَيْدَ فِي النَّوْمِ، وَأَكْرَهُ الْغُلَّ. الْقَيْدُ ثَبَاتٌ فِي الدِّينِ. وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ صَحِيحٌ.
Footnotes
1 [1] In the narration with Al-Bukhārī (no. 7013) via the route of 'Awf from Muhammad bin Sīrīn "the most truthful of them" is not present. Then before proceeding it says: "Muhammad said" and he is the one narrating it from Abū Hurairah. After the Hadīth, Al-Bukhārī said (it is not translated in the popular English translation): "Qatādah, Yūnus, Hishām, and Abū Hilāl reported it from Ibn Sīrīn, from Abū Hurairah from the Prophet ﷺ. Some of them included all of it in the Hadīth, but the Hadīth of 'Awf is clearer. Yūnus said: 'I am not sure if the part about the fetters is from the Prophet ﷺ.'" Ibn Hajar has a lengthy discussion about which of it is from the Prophet ﷺ and which of it is from the narrators, and he endorses the view of Al-Bukhārī in the end.
