وعنه أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال‏:‏ ‏"‏إذا اقترب الزمان لم تكد رؤيا المؤمن تكذب، ورؤيا المؤمن جزء من ستة وأربعين جزءاً من النبوة‏"‏ ((مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيهِ))‏.‏ ‏ ‏وفى رواية‏:‏ ‏"‏أصدقكم رؤيا أصدقكم حديثاً‏"‏‏.‏

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "When the time draws near (i.e., near the end of the world), the dream of a believer can hardly be false; and the dream of a believer represents one part from forty-six parts of Prophethood." [Al-Bukhari and Muslim]. One narration says: Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "The most truthful of you in their speech are those who see the truest visions."

— Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him)

Hadith 839
Al-Bukhari and Muslim

وعنه قال‏:‏ قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم‏:‏ ‏ "‏من رآني في المنام فسيراني في اليقظة -أو كأنما رآني في اليقظة- لا يتمثل الشيطان بي‏"‏ ((مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيهِ)).‏

Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "He who sees me in his dream will see me in his wakefulness (or he (ﷺ) may have said it is as though he has seen me in a state of wakefulness), for Satan does not appear in my form." [Al-Bukhari and Muslim ].

— Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him)

Hadith 840
Al- Bukhari and Muslim

وعن أبى سعيد الخدرى رضى الله عنه انه سمع النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم، يقول‏:‏ ‏ "‏إذا رأى أحدكم رؤيا يحبها، فإنما هي من الله تعالى، فليحمد الله عليها، وليحدث بها -وفى رواية، فلا يحدث بها إلا من يحب- وإذا رأى غير ذلك مما يكره، فإنما هي من الشيطان، فليستعذ من شرها، ولا يذكرها لأحد، فإنها لا تضره‏"‏ (( مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيهِ)).

I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, "When one of you sees a dream that he likes, then it is from Allah. He should praise Allah for it and relate it to (others)." Another narration adds: Messenger of Allah(ﷺ) said, "He should not report it except to those whom he loves. And if he sees one which he dislikes, then it is from the Satan. He should seek refuge in Allah against its evil and should not mention it to anyone. Then it will not harm him." [Al- Bukhari and Muslim].

Hadith 841
Al-Bukhari and Muslim

وعن أبى قتادة رضى الله عنه قال‏:‏ قال النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم‏:‏ ‏ "‏الرؤيا الصالحة -وفى رواية‏:‏ الرؤيا الحسنة- من الله، والحلم من الشيطان، فمن رأى شيئاً يكره فلينفث عن شماله ثلاثاً، وليتعوذ من الشيطان فإنها لا تضره‏"‏ (( مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيهِ)). ‏النفث‏ ‏ نفخ لطيف لا ريق معه‏.‏

The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "A good vision (dream) is from Allah and a bad dream is from the Satan. He who sees something in a dream that he dislikes, should blow thrice on his left, must seek Allah's Refuge from the evil of the Satan (i.e., by saying: A'udhu billahi minash-Shaitanir-Rajim). Then it will not harm him." [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

— Abu Qatadah (May Allah be pleased with him)

وعن جابر رضى الله عنه عن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال‏:‏ ‏ "‏إذا رأى أحدكم الرؤيا يكرهها، فليبصق عن يساره ثلاثاً، وليستعذ بالله من الشيطان ثلاثاً، وليتحول عن جنبه الذي كان عليه‏"‏ ((رَوَاهُ مُسلِمٌ)).

Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "When one of you sees a bad dream let him blow three times on his left, seek refuge in Allah from the Satan three times (i.e., by saying: A'udhu billahi minash-Shaitanir-Rajim) and change the side on which he was lying." [Muslim].

Hadith 843
Al-Bukhari

وعن أبى الأسقع واثلة بن الأسقع رضى الله عنه قال‏:‏ قال رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم‏:‏ ‏ "‏إن من أعظم الفرى أن يدعى الرجل إلى غير أبيه، أو يرى عينيه ما لم تر، أو يقول على رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ما لم يقل‏"‏ ‏((رَوَاهُ البُخَارِيُّ)).

Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Of the worst lies are: to claim a false father, or to pretend to have seen what one has not seen (tell a false dream), or to attribute to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) what he has not said." [Al-Bukhari].
