7005. Abū Qatāda Al-Anṣārī, a Companion of the Prophet ﷺ and one of his cavalrymen narrated: I heard Allāh's Messenger ﷺ saying, "A good dream is from Allāh, and a bad dream is from Satan; so, if anyone of you had a bad dream which he disliked, then he should spit on his left and seek refuge with Allāh from it, for it will not harm him."

Arabic text

7005 - حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ عُقَيْلٍ، عَنِ ابْنِ شِهَابٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ: أَنَّ أَبَا قَتَادَةَ الأَنْصَارِيَّ، وَكَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَفُرْسَانِهِ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولُ: «الرُّؤْيَا مِنَ اللَّهِ، وَالحُلْمُ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ، فَإِذَا حَلَمَ أَحَدُكُمُ الحُلُمَ يَكْرَهُهُ فَلْيَبْصُقْ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ، وَلْيَسْتَعِذْ بِاللَّهِ مِنْهُ، فَلَنْ يَضُرَّهُ»

  1. 1

    (1) (H.7003) This was said by the (Prophet ﷺ) in general but he knew definitely that he will be in Paradise; or it is a mistake in the conveying of the wording of the Hadīth (See Hadīth No.7004). So one should not say about the piety of anybody and leave it for Allāh to decide about that.
