3914. It was narrated from Abu Razin that he heard the Prophet ﷺ say: "Dreams are attached to the foot of a bird[1] until they are interpreted, then when they are interpreted they come to pass." He said: "And dreams are one of the forty-six parts of prophecy." He (the narrator) said: "And I think he said: '(A person) should not tell them except to one whom he loves or one who is wise.'" (Hasan)

Commentary
a. The object held in a claw of a bird may fall down or may not. Similarly, if a dream is not interpreted, then the indication seen in the dream may come true or may not. But when it is interpreted its interpretation becomes fixed.
b. Imâm Bukhârî, طه، said: "If the first interpreter makes a mistake in the interpretation of a dream, and the second one interprets it correctly, then the second one is taken into consideration." (Sahih Al-Bukhârî: 7047)
