7017. Narrated Abū Hurairah رضي الله عنه: Allāh's Messenger ﷺ said, "When the Day of Resurrection approaches, the dreams of a believer will hardly fail to come true, and a dream of a believer is one of the forty-six parts of An-Nubuwwa (Prophethood) and whatever belongs to An-Nubuwwa can never be false." Muḥammad bin Sirīn said, "But I say this." He said, "It used to be said, 'There are three types of dreams: (1) The reflection of one's thoughts and experiences one has during wakefulness, (2) what is suggested by Satan to frighten the dreamer, (3) or glad tidings from Allāh. So, if someone has a dream which he dislikes, he should not tell it to others, but get up and offer a Ṣalāt (prayer).” He added, “He (Abū Hurairah) hated to see a Ghul (i.e., iron collar around his neck in a dream) and people liked to see fetters (on their feet in a dream). The fetters on the feet symbolizes one’s constant and firm adherence to religion”. And Abū ‘Abdullāh said, “Aghlāl (plural of Ghul) are used only for necks.”
