Hazrat Abu Qatadah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say: "Indeed, a good dream is from Allah, and a nightmare (a bad dream that causes distress) is from Satan. Therefore, if any one of you sees a dream that he dislikes, then upon waking up, he should spit lightly three times to his left and seek refuge with Allah from the evil of that dream, for then it will not harm him."

Hazrat Abu Hurairah (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: When the Day of Resurrection draws near, the dream of a believer will not be false, and the dream of a believer is one part out of forty-six parts of prophethood.

Hazrat Ubadah bin Samit (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "A believer's dream is one part out of forty-six parts of prophethood."

Hazrat Anas (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "A believer's dream is one part out of forty-six parts of prophethood."

Narrated Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said, "A believer's dream is one part out of forty-six parts of prophethood."

Hazrat Abu Huraira (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that I heard from the Noble Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). He said: Whoever sees me in a dream will also see me in wakefulness someday, and Satan cannot take my form.

Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them) used to narrate that a man came to the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) and said: Last night I saw in a dream that there was a piece of cloud from which ghee and honey were dripping. I saw that people were taking it in their hands, some more and some less. And there was a rope hanging from the earth to the sky. I saw that first you (peace and blessings be upon him) came and held it and ascended, then another person held it and he also ascended, then a third person held it and he also ascended, then a fourth person held it and he also ascended by means of it. Then the rope broke, then it was joined again. Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: O Messenger of Allah! May my parents be sacrificed for you. Allow me to interpret it. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Interpret it. He said: The shade refers to the religion of Islam, and the honey and ghee dripping from it is the sweetness of the Holy Qur'an, and some people acquire more of the Qur'an, some less. And the rope from the sky to the earth refers to the true way upon which you (peace and blessings be upon him) are established, you are holding it, until Allah will raise you up by means of it. Then after you, another person, your first caliph, will hold it, and he will also remain firm upon it until his death, then a third person will hold it, and his condition will be the same, then a fourth person will hold it, but his matter of caliphate will be cut off, he will also ascend by means of it. O Messenger of Allah! May my parents be sacrificed for you, tell me, is the interpretation I have given correct or incorrect? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: You have interpreted some parts correctly and some parts incorrectly. Abu Bakr (may Allah be pleased with him) said: By Allah! Please inform me of my mistake. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Do not swear.

Hazrat Ibn Umar (may Allah be pleased with them) narrates that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: I saw (in a dream) that I was using a miswak, and two men came to me. One of them was older than the other, so I gave the miswak to the younger one. Then it was said to me: Give it to the elder. So I gave it to the elder among them.

Hazrat Abu Musa Ash'ari (may Allah be pleased with him) narrated that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) said: I saw in a dream that I was migrating from Makkah to a land where there are date gardens. My mind went towards the thought that this place would be Yamamah or Hajar, but it was Yathrib, Madinah Munawwarah. And in the same dream, I saw that I shook a sword and it broke from the middle; this was an indication of the calamity that the Muslims had to face in the Battle of Uhud. Then I shook it a second time and it became even better than before. This was an indication of the event that Allah Almighty granted the conquest of Makkah and the Muslims all gathered together. In the same dream, I saw cows, and whatever is the work of Allah Almighty is best. These cows were an indication of those Muslims who were martyred in the Battle of Uhud, and the goodness was that which Allah Almighty granted us as a reward for truthfulness after the Battle of Badr.

Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated that during the time of the Prophet Muhammad (peace and blessings be upon him), Musaylimah the Liar came with the claim that if Muhammad (peace be upon him) would appoint him as his successor (deputy and caliph) after him, then he would follow him. With him was a very large army from his tribe (Banu Hanifah). The Prophet (peace be upon him) went to him to preach. Thabit bin Qais bin Shamas (may Allah be pleased with him) was also with the Prophet (peace be upon him), and in the Prophet’s hand was a branch of a date palm. Where Musaylimah was encamped with his army, the Prophet (peace be upon him) went and stayed there, and he said to him:“If you were to ask me for this branch, I would not give it to you, and you cannot go beyond the decision of Allah that has already been made about you. If you turn away from obeying me, Allah the Exalted will destroy you. I think you are the one who was shown to me in my dream. Now, Thabit bin Qais (may Allah be pleased with him) will answer you on my behalf.”Then the Prophet (peace be upon him) returned. Ibn Abbas (may Allah be pleased with them both) narrated that then I asked the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) about his statement:“I think you are the one who was shown to me in my dream.”
