In the Name of Allah, the Gracious, the Merciful

Abu Huraira reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
لَمْ يَبْقَ مِنْ النُّبُوَّةِ إِلَّا الْمُبَشِّرَاتُ
Nothing remains of prophecy but glad tidings.
They said, “What are glad tidings?” The Prophet said:
الرُّؤْيَا الصَّالِحَةُ
Good dreams.

In another narration, the Prophet said:
إِذَا اقْتَرَبَ الزَّمَانُ لَمْ تَكَدْ تَكْذِبُ رُؤْيَا الْمُؤْمِنِ وَرُؤْيَا الْمُؤْمِنِ جُزْءٌ مِنْ سِتَّةٍ وَأَرْبَعِينَ جُزْءًا مِنْ النُّبُوَّةِ وَمَا كَانَ مِنْ النُّبُوَّةِ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَكْذِبُ
When the end of time approaches, the dream of a believer can hardly be false. The dream of a believer is one of forty-six parts of prophecy, and whatever is from prophecy does not lie.

In another narration, the Prophet said:
أَصْدَقُكُمْ رُؤْيَا أَصْدَقُكُمْ حَدِيثًا

مَنْ رَآنِي فِي الْمَنَامِ فَسَيَرَانِي فِي الْيَقَظَةِ أَوْ لَكَأَنَّمَا رَآنِي فِي الْيَقَظَةِ لَا يَتَمَثَّلُ الشَّيْطَانُ بِي
Whoever sees me in a dream has truly seen me, for Satan cannot imitate me.

Abu Sa’id al-Khudri reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
إِذَا رَأَى أَحَدُكُمْ رُؤْيَا يُحِبُّهَا فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ مِنْ اللَّهِ فَلْيَحْمَدْ اللَّهَ عَلَيْهَا وَلْيُحَدِّثْ بِهَا وَإِذَا رَأَى غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ مِمَّا يَكْرَهُ فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ مِنْ الشَّيْطَانِ فَلْيَسْتَعِذْ مِنْ شَرِّهَا وَلَا يَذْكُرْهَا لِأَحَدٍ فَإِنَّهَا لَا تَضُرُّهُ
When one of you sees a dream he likes, it is from Allah, so let him praise Allah for it and speak about it. When one of you sees something he dislikes, it is from Satan, so let him seek refuge from its evil and not mention it to anyone. It will not harm him.

Abu Qatadah reported: The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
الرُّؤْيَا الصَّالِحَةُ مِنْ اللَّهِ وَالْحُلْمُ مِنْ الشَّيْطَانِ فَمَنْ رَأَى شَيْئًا يَكْرَهُهُ فَلْيَنْفِثْ عَنْ شِمَالِهِ ثَلَاثًا وَلْيَتَعَوَّذْ مِنْ الشَّيْطَانِ فَإِنَّهَا لَا تَضُرُّهُ وَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ لَا يَتَرَاءَى بِي
The good dream is from Allah and the bad dream is from Satan. Whoever sees something he dislikes, let him blow to his left side three times and seek refuge from Satan. Verily, it will not harm him and Satan cannot appear as me.

Jabir reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
إِذَا رَأَى أَحَدُكُمْ الرُّؤْيَا يَكْرَهُهَا فَلْيَبْصُقْ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ ثَلَاثًا وَلْيَسْتَعِذْ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ الشَّيْطَانِ ثَلَاثًا وَلْيَتَحَوَّلْ عَنْ جَنْبِهِ الَّذِي كَانَ عَلَيْهِ
If one of you sees a dream he dislikes, let him blow on his left side three times and seek refuge in Allah from Satan three times. Let him turn to the other side from which he was sleeping.

Wathilah ibn al-Asqa’ reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said:
إِنَّ مِنْ أَعْظَمِ الْفِرَى أَنْ يَدَّعِيَ الرَّجُلُ إِلَى غَيْرِ أَبِيهِ أَوْ يُرِيَ عَيْنَهُ مَا لَمْ تَرَ أَوْ يَقُولُ عَلَى رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ مَا لَمْ يَقُلْ
Verily, the worst of lies are for a man to claim lineage from someone other than his father, or that he saw a dream he did not see, or to say the Messenger of Allah said what he did not say.
