131 / WHAT ONE SHOULD SAY WHEN HE SEES IN HIS DREAM SOMETHING HE LIKES OR DISLIKES

Numerous hadiths are authentically reported in the Sunnah from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), explaining what a Muslim should say and do when he sees something he likes or dislikes in a dream.

Among these hadiths is the report narrated by al-Bukhārī in his Sahīh from Abu Saīd al-Khudrī (may Allah be pleased with him), who heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: “If any of you sees a dream he likes, it is from Allah, so let him praise Allah for it and speak about it. If he sees something else that he dislikes, it is from Satan, so let him seek refuge in Allah from its evil and not mention it to anyone, for it will not harm him”1.

It is also reported in the two Sahīhs that Abu Salama said: “I used to have dreams that made me ill, until I heard Abu Qatāda say: ‘I too used to have dreams that made me ill, until I heard the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) say: A good dream is from Allah. If any of you sees something he likes, he should tell it only to someone he loves. If he sees something he dislikes, he should seek refuge in Allah from its evil and from the evil of Satan, spit lightly three times, and not speak about it; then it will never harm him’”2.

In Sahīh Muslim, Jābir (may Allah be pleased with him) reported that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: “If any of you sees a dream he dislikes, let him spit to his left three times, seek refuge in Allah from Satan three times, and turn over from the side on which he was lying”3.

These hadiths point to a number of lessons concerning dreams and the attitude the believer should adopt toward what he sees in his sleep: matters that bring him joy and delight, or

١٣١ / مَا يَقُولُهُ مَنْ رَأَى فِي مَنَامِهِ مَا يُحِبُّ أَوْ يَكْرَهُ ثبت في السُّنَّة أحاديثُ عديدةٌ عن النَّبيِّ ﷺ في بيان ما ينبغي أن يقولَه المسلمُ ويفعلَه عندما يرى في منامه ما يُحبُّ أو عندما يرى فيه ما يكره. ومن هذه الأحاديث ما رواه البخاري في صحيحه عن أبي سعيد الخدري ﵁ أنَّه سمع النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يقول: " إِذَا رَأَى أَحَدُكُمْ رُؤْيَا يُحبُّهَا فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ مِنَ اللهِ، فَلْيَحْمَدِ اللهَ عَلَيْهَا، وَلْيُحَدِّثْ بِهَا، وَإِذَا رَأَى غَيْرَ ذَلِكَ مِمَّا يَكْرَهُ، فَإِنَّمَا هِيَ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ، فَلْيَسْتَعِذْ مِنْ شَرِّهَا، وَلاَ يَذْكُرْهَا لأَحَدٍ، فَإِنَّهَا لاَ تَضُرُّهُ"١. وفي الصحيحين عن أبي سلمة قال: "لَقَدْ كُنْتُ أَرَى الرُّؤْيَا فَتُمْرِضُنِي حَتَّى سَمْعْتُ أَبَا قَتَادَةَ يَقُولُ: وَأَنَا كُنْتُ لأَرَى الرُّؤْيَا تُمْرِضُنِي، حَتَّى سَمْعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ: الرُّؤْيَا الحَسَنَةُ مِنَ اللهِ، فَإِذَا رَأَى أَحَدُكُمْ مَا يُحِبُّ فَلاَ يُحَدِّثْ بِهِ إِلاَّ مَنْ يُحِبُّ، وَإِذَا رَأَى مَا يَكْرَهُ، فَلْيَتَعَوَّذْ بِاللهِ مِنْ شَرِّهَا وَشَرِّ الشَّيْطَانِ، وَلْيَتْفُلْ ثَلاَثاً، وَلاَ يُحَدِّثْ بِهَا فَإِنَّهَا لَنْ تَضُرَّهُ "٢. وفي صحيح مسلم من حديث جابر ﵁، عن رسول الله ﷺ أنَّه قال: "إِذَا رَأَى أَحَدُكُمْ الرُّؤْيَا يَكْرَهُهَا فَلْيَبْصُقْ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ ثَلاَثاً، وَلْيَسْتَعِذْ بِاللهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ ثلاثاً، وَلْيَتَحَوَّلْ عَنْ جَنْبِهِ الَّذِي كَانَ عَلَيْهِ"٣. وقد دلَّت هذه الأحاديث على جملة من الفوائد تتعلَّق بالرؤيا وما ينبغي أن يكون عليه المؤمن تجاه ما يراه في منامه من أمور يفرح برؤيتها ويسُرُّ، أو
