5019. It was narrated from Abū Hurairah that the Prophet ﷺ said: "When the time draws near, a Muslim's dream will hardly be false, and the truest of them in dreams will be the truest of them in speech. Dreams are of three types: Righteous dreams, which are glad tidings from Allāh; bad dreams, which come from the Shaitān; and dreams that come from what a man is thinking of to himself. If one of you sees something that he dislikes, let him arise and pray, and not tell the people about it." He (Abū Hurairah) said: "I like fetters and I dislike yokes. Fetters mean steadfastness in religion." (Ṣaḥīḥ) Abū Dāwūd said: "When the time draws near" means when night and day draw close, that is, when they are equal.

5019 - حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ، عَنْ أَيُّوبَ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، قَالَ: " إِذَا اقْتَرَبَ الزَّمَانُ لَمْ تَكَدْ رُؤْيَا الْمُؤْمِنِ أَنْ تَكْذِبَ، وَأَصْدَقُهُمْ رُؤْيَا أَصْدَقُهُمْ حَدِيثًا، وَالرُّؤْيَا ثَلَاثٌ: فَالرُّؤْيَا الصَّالِحَةُ بُشْرَى مِنَ اللَّهِ، وَالرُّؤْيَا تَحْزِينٌ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ، وَرُؤْيَا مِمَّا يُحَدِّثُ بِهِ الْمَرْءُ نَفْسَهُ، فَإِذَا رَأَى أَحَدُكُمْ مَا يَكْرَهُ، فَلْيَقُمْ، فَلْيُصَلِّ وَلَا يُحَدِّثْ بِهَا النَّاسَ " قَالَ: «وَأُحِبُّ الْقَيْدَ وَأَكْرَهُ الْغُلَّ، وَالْقَيْدُ ثَبَاتٌ فِي الدِّينِ» قَالَ أَبُو دَاوُدَ: «إِذَا اقْتَرَبَ الزَّمَانُ يَعْنِي إِذَا اقْتَرَبَ اللَّيْلُ وَالنَّهَارُ يَعْنِي يَسْتَوِيَانِ»
