English translation

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)

Arabic text

3914 - حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَكْرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ، عَنْ يَعْلَى بْنِ عَطَاءٍ، عَنْ وَكِيعِ بْنِ عُدُسٍ الْعُقَيْلِيِّ، عَنْ عَمِّهِ أَبِي رَزِينٍ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ، يَقُولُ: «الرُّؤْيَا عَلَى رِجْلِ طَائِرٍ، مَا لَمْ تُعْبَرْ، فَإِذَا عُبِرَتْ وَقَعَتْ» . قَالَ: " وَالرُّؤْيَا جُزْءٌ مِنْ سِتَّةٍ وَأَرْبَعِينَ جُزْءًا مِنَ النُّبُوَّةِ - قَالَ: وَأَحْسِبُهُ قَالَ - لَا يَقُصُّهَا إِلَّا عَلَى وَادٍّ أَوْ ذِي رَأْيٍ "

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)
