2279. Waki‘ bin ‘Udus narrated from Abū Razīn that the Prophet ﷺ said: “The Muslim’s dreams are
a portion of the forty-six portions of Prophethood. And it is (as if it is) on the leg of a bird as long as it is not spoken of. But when it is spoken of it falls.” (Hasan)
[He said:] This Hadīth is Hasan Ṣaḥīḥ. Abū Razīn Al-‘Uqailī’s name is Laqīṭ bin ‘Āmir. Hammād bin Salamah narrated it from Ya’lā bin ‘Aṭā’ who said: “From Waki’ bin Hudus.” Shu’bah, Abū ‘Awānah, and Hushaim said: “From Ya’lā bin ‘Aṭā’, from Waki’ bin ‘Udus.” This is more correct.

Commentary
If a man sees a dream his mind will not rest until it is interpreted for him. His mental state is as unstable as of something you try to rest on the leg of a bird. His mind becomes a veritable corridor of different ideas and thoughts. But once it is interpreted to him, the interpretation occupies his mind and heart absolutely. It is this idea that has been expressed by the term ‘Saqaat’ (dropped and set at rest).
