2277. Abū Qatādah narrated that the Messenger of Allāh ﷺ said: “Dreams are from Allāh and Hulum[1] are from Shaitān. So when one of you sees something that bothers him, then let him spit on his left three times, and let him seek refuge in Allāh from its evil. Then it will not harm him.” (Sahih) [He said:] There are narrations on this topic from ‘Abdullāh bin ‘Amr, Abū Sa‘eed, Jābir and Anas. [He said:] This Hadīth is Ḥasan Ṣaḥīḥ.
٢٢٧٧ - حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ، قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ يَحْيَى بْنِ سَعِيدٍ ، عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ بْنِ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ ، عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ: «الرُّؤْيَا مِنَ اللهِ وَالْحُلُمُ» مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ، فَإِذَا رَأَى أَحَدُكُمْ شَيْئًا يَكْرَهُهُ، فَلْيَنْفُثْ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ، وَلْيَسْتَعِذْ بِاللهِ مِنْ شَرِّهَا، فَإِنَّهَا لَا تَضُرُّهُ. وَفِي الْبَابِ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللهِ بْنِ عَمْرٍو، وَأَبِي سَعِيدٍ، وَجَابِرٍ، وَأَنَسٍ. وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ.

[1] It normally means bad dreams, see Sūrah Yūsuf 12:44.
Allāh is the Creator of all things good and bad. No creature has any say in matters of creation. However, as a rule, all matters pleasing and good are attributed to Allāh, but nothing disliked or hateful is to be attributed to Him. That is why jumbled thoughts and medleys of dreams have been attributed to Shaitān.
