5747. Narrated Abū Qatāda: I heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, "A good dream is from Allāh, and a bad dream is from Satan. So if anyone of you sees (in a dream) something he dislikes, when he gets up he should blow thrice (on his left side) and seek refuge with Allāh from its evil for then it will not harm him."
5747 - حَدَّثَنَا خَالِدُ بْنُ مَخْلَدٍ، حَدَّثَنَا سُلَيْمَانُ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا سَلَمَةَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ أَبَا قَتَادَةَ، يَقُولُ: سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ: «الرُّؤْيَا مِنَ اللَّهِ، وَالحُلْمُ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ، فَإِذَا رَأَى أَحَدُكُمْ شَيْئًا يَكْرَهُهُ فَلْيَنْفِثْ حِينَ يَسْتَيْقِظُ ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ، وَيَتَعَوَّذْ مِنْ شَرِّهَا، فَإِنَّهَا لاَ تَضُرُّهُ» وَقَالَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ: «وَإِنْ كُنْتُ لَأَرَى الرُّؤْيَا أَثْقَلَ عَلَيَّ مِنَ الجَبَلِ، فَمَا هُوَ إِلَّا أَنْ سَمِعْتُ هَذَا الحَدِيثَ فَمَا أُبَالِيهَا»
