al-Mustadrak (al-Hakim) 8174Sahih
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ فِي آخِرِ الزَّمَانِ لَا تَكَادُ رُؤْيَا الْمُؤْمِنِ تَكْذِبُ وَأَصْدَقُهُمْ رُؤْيَا أَصْدَقُهُمْ حَدِيثًا وَالرُّؤْيَا ثَلَاثٌ فَالرُّؤْيَا الْحَسَنَةُ بُشْرَى مِنَ اللَّهِ ﷻ وَالرُّؤْيَا يُحَدِّثُ بِهَا الرَّجُلُ نَفْسَهُ وَالرُّؤْيَا تَحْزِينٌ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ فَإِذَا رَأَى أَحَدُكُمْ رُؤْيَا يَكْرَهُهَا فَلَا يُحَدِّثْ بِهَا أَحَدًا وَلْيَقُمْ فَلْيُصَلِّ وَرُؤْيَا الْمُؤْمِنِ جُزْءٌ مِنْ سِتَّةٍ وَأَرْبَعِينَ جُزْءًا مِنَ النُّبُوَّةِ قَالَ أَبُو هُرَيْرَةَ «يُعْجِبُنِي الْقَيْدُ وَأَكْرَهُ الْغُلَّ الْقَيْدُ ثَبَاتٌ فِي الدِّينِ»
✧ From the Prophet ﷺ who said: "In the latter times, the dream of the believer will hardly be false. The most truthful of them in dreams are the most truthful of them in speech. Dreams are of three kinds: a good dream is glad tidings from Allah, Exalted is He; a dream that a man talks to himself; and a dream causing grief from Satan. So if any of you sees a dream that he dislikes, he should not tell anyone about it, but he should get up and pray. The dream of the believer is one of forty-six parts of prophethood." Abu Hurayrah said, "The fetter pleases me and I dislike the shackle; the fetter is steadfastness in religion."
al-Mustadrak (al-Hakim) 8175Sahih
«رُؤْيَا الْمُؤْمِنِ جُزْءٌ مِنْ سِتَّةٍ وَأَرْبَعِينَ جُزْءًا مِنَ النُّبُوَّةِ وَهِيَ عَلَى رَجُلٍ طَائِرٍ مَا لَمْ يُحَدِّثْ بِهَا فَإِذَا حَدَّثَ بِهَا وَقَعَتْ»
✧ "The dream of the believer is one of forty-six parts of prophethood, and it is on the wing of a bird as long as it is not related. When it is related, it occurs."
al-Mustadrak (al-Hakim) 8176Sahih
كَانَ إِذَا انْصَرَفَ مِنْ صَلَاةِ الْغَدَاةِ يَقُولُ «هَلْ رَأَى أَحَدٌ مِنْكُمُ اللَّيْلَةَ رُؤْيَا؟ أَلَا إِنَّهُ لَا يَبْقَى بَعْدِي مِنَ النُّبُوَّةِ إِلَّا الرُّؤْيَا الصَّالِحَةُ»
✧ When he finished the morning prayer, he would say, "Has any of you seen a dream tonight? Indeed, nothing of prophethood will remain after me except the true dream."
al-Mustadrak (al-Hakim) 8177Sahih
«إِنَّ الرُّؤْيَا تَقَعُ عَلَى مَا تُعَبَّرُ وَمَثَلُ ذَلِكَ مَثَلُ رَجُلٍ رَفَعَ رِجْلَهُ فَهُوَ يَنْتَظِرُ مَتَى يَضَعُهَا فَإِذَا رَأَى أَحَدُكُمْ رُؤْيَا فَلَا يُحَدِّثْ بِهَا إِلَّا نَاصِحًا أَوْ عَالِمًا»
✧ "Indeed, the dream occurs according to how it is interpreted. The example of that is like a man who raises his foot and waits until he puts it down. So if any of you sees a dream, he should not tell it except to a sincere advisor or a scholar."
al-Mustadrak (al-Hakim) 8178Sahih
«إِنَّ الرِّسَالَةَ وَالنُّبُوَّةَ قَدِ انْقَطَعَتْ فَلَا رَسُولَ بَعْدِي وَلَا نَبِيَّ» قَالَ فَشَقَّ ذَلِكَ عَلَى النَّاسِ فَقَالَ «لَكِنِ الْمُبَشِّرَاتُ» فَقَالُوا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ مَا الْمُبَشِّرَاتُ؟ قَالَ «رُؤْيَا الْمَرْءِ الْمُسْلِمُ هِيَ جُزْءٌ مِنْ أَجْزَاءِ النُّبُوَّةِ»
✧ "Indeed, messengerhood and prophethood have ceased, so there is no messenger after me and no prophet." He said, "That distressed the people." So he said, "But there are the glad tidings." They said, "O Messenger of Allah, what are the glad tidings?" He said, "The dream of a Muslim man, which is one of the parts of prophethood."
al-Mustadrak (al-Hakim) 8179Sahih
سَأَلْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنْ قَوْلِهِ ﷻ {لَهُمُ الْبُشْرَى فِي الْحَيَاةِ الدُّنْيَا} [يونس 64] قَالَ «هِيَ الرُّؤْيَا الصَّالِحَةُ يَرَاهَا الْمُؤْمِنُ أَوْ تُرَى لَهُ»
✧ I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ about His saying, Exalted is He: {For them are good tidings in the worldly life} [Yunus 64]. He said, "It is the righteous dream that the believer sees or is seen for him."

✧ About the saying of Allah, Exalted is He: {For them are good tidings in the worldly life} [Yunus 64]. He said, "No one has asked me other than you since I asked the Messenger of Allah ﷺ. He said, 'No one has asked me about it other than you since it was revealed. It is the righteous dream that the Muslim sees or is seen for him.'"
al-Mustadrak (al-Hakim) 8181Sahih
«إِذَا رَأَى أَحَدُكُمُ الرُّؤْيَا يُحِبُّهَا فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ مِنَ اللَّهِ تَعَالَى فَلْيَحْمَدِ اللَّهَ عَلَيْهَا وَلْيُحَدِّثْ بِمَا رَأَى وَإِذَا رَأَى غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ مِمَّا يَكْرَهُ فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ فَلْيَسْتَعِذْ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ شَرِّهَا وَلَا يَذْكُرْهَا لِأَحَدٍ فَإِنَّهَا لَا تَضُرُّهُ»
✧ "When one of you sees a dream he likes, it is from Allah, the Exalted. Let him praise Allah for it and tell what he saw. When he sees other than that, something he dislikes, it is from Satan. Let him seek refuge in Allah from its evil and not mention it to anyone, for it will not harm him."
al-Mustadrak (al-Hakim) 8182Sahih
أَنَّ أَعْرَابِيًّا جَاءَ إِلَى النَّبِيِّ ﷺ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ إِنِّي حَلَمْتُ أَنَّ رَأْسِي قُطِعَ وَأَنَا أَتْبَعُهُ فَزَجَرَهُ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ وَقَالَ «لَا تُخْبِرْ بِتَلَعُّبِ الشَّيْطَانِ بِكَ فِي الْمَنَامِ» على شرط البخاري ومسلم
✧ A Bedouin came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, "O Messenger of Allah, I dreamt that my head was cut off and I was following it." The Prophet ﷺ rebuked him and said, "Do not tell of Satan's playing with you in the dream." On the condition of al-Bukhari and Muslim.
al-Mustadrak (al-Hakim) 8183Sahih
«أَصْدَقُ الرُّؤْيَا بِالْأَسْحَارِ»

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Whoever sees me in a dream has truly seen me, for Satan cannot impersonate me." My father said: I narrated this to Ibn Abbas and said, "I saw him ﷺ, and I mentioned al-Hasan b. Ali and likened him to him." Ibn Abbas said, "He used to resemble him."

عَنْ عَائِشَةَ سُئِلَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ عَنْ وَرَقَةَ فَقَالَتْ لَهُ خَدِيجَةُ إِنَّهُ كَانَ صَدَّقَكَ وَلَكِنَّهُ مَاتَ قَبْلَ أَنْ تَظْهَرَ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ «رَأَيْتُهُ فِي الْمَنَامِ وَعَلَيْهِ ثِيَابٌ بِيضٌ وَلَوْ كَانَ مِنْ أَهْلِ النَّارِ لَكَانَ عَلَيْهِ لِبَاسٌ غَيْرُ ذَلِكَ»
✧ From Aisha: The Messenger of Allah ﷺ was asked about Waraqah. Khadijah said to him, "He believed in you, but he died before you appeared." The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "I saw him in a dream, wearing white garments. If he had been among the people of the Fire, he would have worn other than that."

خَرَجَ إِلَيْنَا رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَوْمًا فَقَالَ إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ فِي الْمَنَامِ كَأَنَّ جِبْرِيلَ عَلَيْهِ الصَّلَاةُ وَالسَّلَامُ عِنْدَ رَأْسِي وَمِيكَائِيلَ عِنْدَ رِجْلَيَّ يَقُولُ أَحَدُهُمَا لِصَاحِبِهِ اضْرِبْ لَهُ مِثْلًا فَقَالَ اسْمَعْ سَمِعَ أُذُنُكَ وَاعْقِلْ عَقِلَ قَلْبُكَ مَثَلُكَ وَمَثَلُ أُمَّتِكَ كَمَثَلِ مَلِكٍ اتَّخَذَ دَارًا ثُمَّ بَنَى فِيهَا بَيْتًا ثُمَّ جَعَلَ فِيهَا مَأْدُبَةً ثُمَّ بَعَثَ رَسُولًا يَدْعُو النَّاسَ إِلَى طَعَامِهِ فَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ أَجَابَ الرَّسُولَ وَمِنْهُمْ مَنْ تَرَكَهُ فَاللَّهُ هُوَ الْمَلِكُ وَالدَّارُ الْإِسْلَامُ وَالْبَيْتُ الْجَنَّةُ وَأَنْتَ يَا مُحَمَّدُ رَسُولٌ مَنْ أَجَابَكَ دَخَلَ الْجَنَّةَ أَكَلَ مَا فِيهَا
✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ came out to us one day and said, "I saw in a dream as if Jibril ﷺ was at my head and Mikail at my feet, one saying to the other, 'Strike a parable for him.' He said, 'Listen, may your ear hear, and understand, may your heart understand. Your example and the example of your community is like a king who took a house, then built a room in it, then placed a feast in it, then sent a messenger to invite people to his food. Some answered the messenger and some left him. Allah is the king, the house is Islam, the room is Paradise, and you, O Muhammad, are a messenger. Whoever answers you enters Paradise and eats from it.'"
al-Mustadrak (al-Hakim) 8189Sahih
أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ ذَاتَ يَوْمٍ «مَنْ رَأَى مِنْكُمْ رُؤْيَا؟» فَقَالَ رَجُلٌ أَنَا رَأَيْتُ كَأَنَّ مِيزَانًا نَزَلَ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ فَوُزِنْتَ أَنْتَ وَأَبُو بَكْرٍ فَرَجَحْتَ أَنْتَ بِأَبِي بَكْرٍ وَوَزْنَ عُمَرُ بِأَبِي بَكْرٍ فَرَجَحَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ وَوَزْنَ عُمَرُ وَعُثْمَانُ فَرَجَحَ عُمَرُ ثُمَّ رُفِعَ الْمِيزَانُ فَرَأَيْتُ الْكَرَاهِيَةَ فِي وَجْهِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ وَسَلَّمَ
✧ The Prophet ﷺ said one day, "Who among you has seen a dream?" A man said, "I saw as if a scale descended from the sky, and you and Abu Bakr were weighed, and you outweighed Abu Bakr. Then Umar was weighed against Abu Bakr, and Abu Bakr outweighed him. Then Umar and Uthman were weighed, and Umar outweighed him. Then the scale was lifted." Then I saw dislike in the face of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.

✧ I was sitting in the mosque when a man entered and they said, "This is a man from the people of Paradise." So, he prayed and then left. I followed him and said, "Indeed, the people said this and that about you." He said, "It is not appropriate for anyone to lie or speak about something he does not know. And I will tell you why. I had a dream and I narrated it to the Prophet ﷺ. I saw as if I was in a green garden, and he mentioned its vastness and greenery. In the middle of the garden, there was an iron pillar. Then, a man came to me and said, 'Climb.' I said, 'I'm not able to climb.' He brought a podium from behind me and said, 'Climb.' I said, 'I'm not able to climb.' So, he helped me climb along with my clothes. When I reached the top of the pillar, there was a handle, and I inserted my hand into it. It felt like I became the owner of the ring, and indeed, the ring was in my hand. The Prophet ﷺ said, 'As for the garden, it is the garden of Islam, and as for the pillar, it is the pillar of Islam, and as for the handle, you have held onto the firmest handle of Islam until you die.'"

✧ Some believing women gathered at Aisha, Mother of the Believers. One of them said, "By Allah, Allah will never punish me, for I pledged allegiance to the Messenger of Allah ﷺ that I would not associate anything with Allah, nor steal, nor kill my child, nor bring a slander I fabricate between my hands and feet, nor disobey him in what is right, and I have fulfilled it." She returned to her house and was visited in her dream, and it was said to her, "You are the one who swore against Allah, the Exalted, that He will not punish you. How about your speech about what does not concern you and your withholding what does not suffice you?" She returned to Aisha and said to her, "I was visited in my dream and was told such and such. I seek Allah's forgiveness and repent to Him."" Al-Dhahabi remained silent about it in the Talkhis.

✧ Shayban the Jew came to the Prophet ﷺ and said, “O Muhammad, do you know the stars that Yusuf saw prostrating to him?” The Prophet ﷺ remained silent until Jibril ﷺ came to him and informed him of what the Jew had asked. Then the Prophet ﷺ met the Jew and said, “O Jew, will you swear by Allah to me that if I tell you, you will become Muslim?” He said, “Yes.” The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: “The stars are Hadathan, al-Tariq, al-Dhabbal, Qabis, al-ʿUdan, al-Faliq, al-Nush, al-Qaruh, Dhu al-Kanafan, Dhu al-Faraʿ, and al-Waththab. Yusuf saw them surrounding the regions of the sky, prostrating to him.

يَا أَبَا الْحَسَنِ الرَّجُلُ يَرَى الرُّؤْيَا فَمِنْهَا مَا تَصْدُقُ وَمِنْهَا مَا تَكْذِبُ قَالَ نَعَمْ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «مَا مِنْ عَبْدٍ وَلَا أَمَةٍ يَنَامُ فَيَمْتَلِئَ نَوْمًا إِلَّا عُرِجَ بِرُوحِهِ إِلَى الْعَرْشِ فَالَّذِي لَا يَسْتَيْقِظْ دُونَ الْعَرْشِ فَتِلْكَ الرُّؤْيَا الَّتِي تَصْدُقُ وَالَّذِي يَسْتَيْقِظُ دُونَ الْعَرْشِ فَتِلْكَ الرُّؤْيَا الَّتِي تَكْذِبُ» حديث منكر
✧ “O Abu al-Hasan, a man sees a dream; some of them come true and some are false.” He said, “Yes. I heard the Messenger of Allah ﷺ say: ‘There is no servant, male or female, who sleeps and is filled with sleep except that his soul is taken up to the Throne. The one who does not wake before reaching the Throne—that is the dream that comes true. And the one who wakes before reaching the Throne—that is the dream that is false.’” A rejected hadith.

✧ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ used to say, “Has any of you seen a dream?” He said, “Then whoever wished would relate it to him. One morning he said: ‘Last night two angels came to me. One of them sat at my head and the other at my feet. The one at my feet said to the one at my head: Give the example of this man and his community. He said: His example and that of his community is like a people traveling who reached the edge of a vast desert, but they did not have enough provisions to cross the desert or to return. While they were in that state, a man came to them with combed hair, wearing a striped cloak, and said: What do you think? If I bring you to lush meadows and abundant watering places, will you follow me? They said: Yes. So he set off with them and brought them to lush meadows and abundant watering places. They ate, drank, and grew fat. Then he said to them: Did I not find you in that condition and say to you: If I bring you to lush meadows and abundant watering places, will you follow me? They said: Yes. He said: Ahead of you are meadows lusher than these and watering places more abundant than these, so follow me. One group said: By Allah, he has spoken the truth; we will surely follow. Another group said: We are content with this; we will stay here.’”

Then he went to sleep and woke up holding red soil, which he kissed. So I said, 'O Messenger of Allah, what is this soil?' He said, 'Jibril informed me that this is the soil on which Al-Husayn will be killed in Iraq.' So I said to Jibril, 'Show me the soil of the land on which he will be killed.'
