5021. Abū Qatādah said: "I heard the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ say: 'Righteous dreams come from Allāh, and bad dreams come from the Shaitān. If one of you sees something that he dislikes, let him spit[1] to his left three times, then seek refuge from its evil, and it will not harm him." (Ṣaḥīḥ)

Arabic text

5021 - حَدَّثَنَا النُّفَيْلِيُّ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ زُهَيْرًا، يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ يَحْيَى بْنَ سَعِيدٍ، يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا سَلَمَةَ، يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا قَتَادَةَ، يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولُ: «الرُّؤْيَا مِنَ اللَّهِ، وَالْحُلْمُ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ، فَإِذَا رَأَى أَحَدُكُمْ شَيْئًا يَكْرَهُهُ فَلْيَنْفُثْ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ، ثُمَّ لِيَتَعَوَّذْ مِنْ شَرِّهَا، فَإِنَّهَا لَا تَضُرُّهُ»
