I mentioned this to him, so he narrated this hadith to me: The Noble Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said, "Good dreams are from Allah and bad dreams are from Satan. Therefore, whoever sees a disliked dream should not mention it to anyone. Rather, after seeing the dream, he should spit lightly three times to his left and seek refuge in Allah from its evil. In this way, the dream will not harm him."
