حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَکْرِ بْنُ أَبِي شَيْبَةَ حَدَّثَنَا هَوْذَةُ بْنُ خَلِيفَةَ حَدَّثَنَا عَوْفٌ عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنْ النَّبِيِّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ الرُّؤْيَا ثَلَاثٌ فَبُشْرَی مِنْ اللَّهِ وَحَدِيثُ النَّفْسِ وَتَخْوِيفٌ مِنْ الشَّيْطَانِ فَإِنْ رَأَی أَحَدُکُمْ رُؤْيَا تُعْجِبُهُ فَلْيَقُصَّ إِنْ شَائَ وَإِنْ رَأَی شَيْئًا يَکْرَهُهُ فَلَا يَقُصَّهُ عَلَی أَحَدٍ وَلْيَقُمْ يُصَلِّي
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 3906
. It was narrated from Abu Hurairah that the Prophet(saw) said: "Dreams are of three types: Glad tidings from Allah, what is on a person's mind, and frightening dreams from Satan. If any of you sees a dream that he likes, let him tell others of it if he wishes, but if he sees something that he dislikes, he should not tell anyone about it, and he should get up and perform prayer." (Sahih)
