حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو بَکْرٍ حَدَّثَنَا هُشَيْمٌ عَنْ يَعْلَی بْنِ عَطَائٍ عَنْ وَکِيعِ بْنِ عُدُسٍ الْعُقَيْلِيِّ عَنْ عَمِّهِ أَبِي رَزِينٍ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ النَّبِيَّ صَلَّی اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ الرُّؤْيَا عَلَی رِجْلِ طَائِرٍ مَا لَمْ تُعْبَرْ فَإِذَا عُبِرَتْ وَقَعَتْ قَالَ وَالرُّؤْيَا جُزْئٌ مِنْ سِتَّةٍ وَأَرْبَعِينَ جُزْئًا مِنْ النُّبُوَّةِ قَالَ وَأَحْسِبُهُ قَالَ لَا يَقُصُّهَا إِلَّا عَلَی وَادٍّ أَوْ ذِي رَأْيٍ
ابن ماجہ · Hadith 3914
It was narrated from Abu Razin that he heard the Prophet(saw) say: "Dreams are attached to the foot of a bird until they are interpreted, then when they are interpreted they come to pass." He said: "And dreams are one of the forty-six parts of prophecy." He (the narrator) said: "And I think he said: '(A person) should not tell them except to one whom he loves or one who is wise.'" (Hasan)
