3926. It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allâh ﷺ said: "I dislike (to see in a dream) a chain around the neck, but I like to see fetters on the feet, for fetters (represent) steadfastness in religion." (Da'if)
3926 - حَدَّثَنَا عَلِيُّ بْنُ مُحَمَّدٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا وَكِيعٌ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ الْهُذَلِيُّ، عَنِ ابْنِ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ: «أَكْرَهُ الْغِلَّ، وَأُحِبُّ الْقَيْدَ، الْقَيْدُ ثَبَاتٌ فِي الدِّينِ»

Imâm Ibn Hajar، quoted from Imâm Qurtubi، that whosoever's legs are in the grip of shackles, he can not move. So, if a religious and pious person sees fetters on his feet in dream, it means that he will remain steadfast on religiousness and true guidance. A neckband is mentioned in the Qur'ân for punishment and humiliation, so it indicates a weakness in religion, persistence in sin, escaping from fulfilling the due rights of people, or troubles in this life. (See: Fathul-Bâri, the Book of Interpretation of Dreams, the chapter; Seeing oneself fettered in a dream.) In the Name of Allāh, the Most Beneficent, the Most Merciful
