حَدَّثَنَا قُتَيْبَةُ بْنُ سَعِيدٍ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ عَنْ أَيُّوبَ عَنْ مُحَمَّدٍ عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ

إِذَا اقْتَرَبَ الزَّمَانُ لَمْ تَكَدْ رُؤْيَا الْمُؤْمِنِ أَنْ تَكْذِبَ وَأَصْدَقُهُمْ رُؤْيَا أَصْدَقُهُمْ حَدِيثًا وَالرُّؤْيَا ثَلاَثٌ فَالرُّؤْيَا الصَّالِحَةُ بُشْرَى مِنَ اللَّهِ وَالرُّؤْيَا تَحْزِينٌ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ وَرُؤْيَا مِمَّا يُحَدِّثُ بِهِ الْمَرْءُ نَفْسَهُ فَإِذَا رَأَى أَحَدُكُمْ مَا يَكْرَهُ فَلْيَقُمْ فَلْيُصَلِّ وَلاَ يُحَدِّثْ بِهَا النَّاسَ قَالَ وَأُحِبُّ الْقَيْدَ وَأَكْرَهُ الْغُلَّ وَالْقَيْدُ ثَبَاتٌ فِي الدِّينِ

When the time draws near, a believer’s vision can hardly be false. The truer one of them is in his speech, the truer he is in his vision. Visions are of three types: Good visions are glad tidings from Allah, a terrifying vision caused by the devil, and the ideas which come from within a man. So when one sees anything he dislikes, he should get up and pray, and should not tell it to the people. He said: I like a fetter and dislike a shackle on the neck; a fetter indicates being firmly established in religion. Abu Dawud said: “when the time draws near” means that when the day and night are equal.

  • Dāraquṭnī

    يرويه أيوب السختياني واختلف عنه فرواه ابن عيينة وابن علية عن أيوب عن ابن سيرين عن أبي هريرة موقوفا وروى عبد الرحمن بن عمر رستة عن سفيان بن عيينة بهذا الإسناد قوله إذا رأى أحدكم رؤيا يكرهها فليصل ركعتين ولا يخبر بها أحدا فإنها لن تضره مرفوعا إلى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم ورواه عبد الوهاب الثقفي عن أيوب مرفوعا إلى النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم بطوله وتابعه حمزة بن أبي حمزة النصيبي على بعض الألفاظ في الحديث فرفعها عن أيوب وكذلك رواه مسندا عن ابن سيرين قتادة وقرة بن خالد وسالم الخياط ويونس بن عبيد وهشام بن حسان وعوف الأعرابي واختلف عنه فرفعه هوذة بن خليفة عن عوف ووقفه حماد بن مسعدة عنه ورواه عاصم الأحول عن ابن سيرين عن أبي هريرة ووقفه ورفعه صحيح

    machine translationAyyūb al-Sakhtiyānī narrates it, and there is disagreement about him. Ibn ʿUyaynah and Ibn ʿUlayyah narrated it from Ayyūb, from Ibn Sīrīn, from Abū Hurayrah as a statement of the Companion (mawqūf). ʿAbd al-Raḥmān b. ʿUmar Rustah narrated from Sufyān b. ʿUyaynah with this chain the saying: "If one of you sees a dream that he dislikes, let him pray two rakʿahs and not tell anyone of it, for it will not harm him," traced back to the Prophet ﷺ (marfūʿ). ʿAbd al-Wahhāb al-Thaqafī narrated it from Ayyūb, traced back to the Prophet ﷺ, in full. Ḥamzah b. Abī Ḥamzah al-Naṣībī corroborated him on some of the wording in the hadith, so he traced it back from Ayyūb. Likewise it was narrated with a connected chain (musnad) from Ibn Sīrīn by Qatādah, Qurrah b. Khālid, Sālim al-Khayyāṭ, Yūnus b. ʿUbayd, Hishām b. Ḥassān, and ʿAwf al-Aʿrābī, and there is disagreement about him: Hawdhah b. Khalīfah traced it back from ʿAwf, while Ḥammād b. Masʿadah made it mawqūf from him. ʿĀṣim al-Aḥwal narrated it from Ibn Sīrīn, from Abū Hurayrah, and made it mawqūf; and the version traced back to the Prophet ﷺ is sound (ṣaḥīḥ).
