It is narrated from Sayyiduna Awf bin Malik (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Dreams are of three types: (1) Frightening dreams from Satan, by which he disturbs the servant; (2) Matters about which a person thinks during his wakefulness, then he sees them in his sleep; and (3) Some dreams are one forty-sixth part of prophethood."
