Dreams

423. Abu Qatada, may Allah be pleased with him, reported that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “The true dream—and in one variant, the good dream—is from Allah, and the confused dream is from Satan. Whoever sees something he dislikes should spit to his left side three times and seek refuge from Satan. It will not harm him.” (Sahih al-Bukhari, Ta’bir, 4; Sahih Muslim, Ru’ya, 1).

424. Wathila ibn al-Asqa, may Allah be pleased with him, reported that the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “One of the greatest untruths is that of attributing a man to other than his father or of claiming to have seen in a dream something he did not see or of attributing a saying to the Messenger of Allah which he did not say.” (Sahih al-Bukhari, Manaqib, 5).
