حديث أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ، يَقُولُ: الرُّؤْيَا مِنَ اللهِ وَالْحُلُمُ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ، فَإِذَا رَأَى أَحَدُكُمْ شَيْئًا يَكْرَهُهُ فَلْيَنْفِثْ، حِينَ يَسْتَيْقِظ، ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ، وَيَتَعَوّذْ مِنْ شَرِّهَا، فَإِنَّهَا لَا تَضُرُّهُ.
I heard the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم saying, "A good dream is from Allâh, and a bad dream is from Satan. So if anyone of you sees (in a dream) something he dislikes, when he gets up he should blow thrice (on his left side) and seek refuge with Allâh from its evil for then it will not harm him." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 643, Vol. 7 )
حديث أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ: قَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ: إِذَا اقْتَرَبَ الزَّمَان لَمْ تَكَدْ تَكْذِبُ رُؤْيَا الْمُؤْمِنِ، وَرُؤْيَا الْمُؤْمِنِ جُزْءٌ مِنْ سِتَّةٍ وَأَرْبَعِينَ جُزْءًا مِنَ النُّبُوَّةِ.
Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم said "When the Day of Resurrection approaches, a dream of a faithful believer will hardly fail to come true, and a dream of a believer is one of the forty-six parts of An-Nabuwwa (Prophethood)." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 144, Vol. 9 )
حديث عُبَادَة بْنِ الصَّامِتِ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ: رُؤْيَا الْمُؤْمِنِ جُزْءٌ مِنْ سِتَّةٍ وَأَرْبَعِينَ جُزْءًا مِنَ النُّبُوَّةِ.
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "A (good) dream of a faithful believer is a part of the forty-six parts of An-Nabuwwa (Prophethood)." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 116, Vol. 9 )

The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "A (good) dream of a faithful believer is one of the forty-six parts of An-Nabuwwa (Prophethood)." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 123, Vol. 9)

حديث أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ رضي الله عنها، قَالَ: سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ: مَنْ رَآنِي فِي الْمَنَامِ فَسَيَرَانِي فِي الْيَقَظَةِ، وَلَا يَتَمَثَّلُ الشَّيْطَانُ بِي.
I heard the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم saying, “Whoever sees me in a dream will see me in his wakefulness, [1] and Satan cannot imitate me in shape.” [Abû ‘Abdullâh رضى الله عنه said, “Ibn Sîrîn said, ‘Only if he sees the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم in his (real) shape.’”] ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 122, Vol. 9)
[1] Wakefulness, i.e., in the Hereafter.

حديث ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، أَنَّ رَجُلًا أَتى رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ، فَقَالَ: إِنِّي رَأَيْتُ اللَّيْلَةَ فِي الْمَنَامِ ظُلَّةً تَنْطُفُ السَّمْنَ وَالْعَسَلَ، فَأَرَى النَّاسَ يَتَكَفَّفُونَ مِنْهَا فَالْمُسْتَكْثِرُ وَالْمُسْتَقِلُّ وَإِذَا سَبَبٌ وَاصِلٌ مِنَ الأَرْضِ إِلَى السَّمَاءِ، فَأَرَاكَ أَخَذْتَ بِهِ فَعَلَوْتَ، ثُمَّ أَخَذَ بِهِ رَجُلٌ آخَرُ فَعَلَا بِهِ، ثُمَّ أَخَذَ بِهِ رَجُلٌ آخَرُ فَعَلَا بِهِ، ثُمَ أَخَذَ بِهِ رَجُلٌ آخَرُ فَانْقَطَعَ ثُمَّ وُصِلَ فَقَالَ أَبُو بَكْرٍ: يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ بِأَبى أَنْتَ، وَاللهِ لَتَدَعَنِّي فَأَعْبُرَهَا فَقَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: اعْبُرْ قَالَ: أَمَّا الظُّلَّةُ فَالإِسْلَامُ، وَأَمَّا الَّذِي يَنْطُفُ مِنَ الْعَسَلِ وَالسَّمْنِ فَالْقُرْآن، حَلَاوَتُهُ تَنْطِفُ فَالْمُسْتَكْثِرُ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ وَالْمُسْتَقِلُّ وَأَمَّا السَّبَبُ الْوَاصِلُ مِنَ السَّمَاءِ إِلَى الأَرْضِ فَالْحَقُّ الَّذِي أَنْتَ عَلَيْهِ؛ تَأْخُذُ بِهِ فَيُعْلِيكَ اللهُ، ثُمَّ يَأْخُذُ بِهِ رَجُلٌ مِنْ بَعْدِكَ فَيَعْلُو بِهِ، ثُمَّ يَأْخُذُ رَجُلٌ آخَرُ فَيَعْلُو بِهِ ثُمَّ يَأْخُذُ رَجُلٌ آخَرُ فَيَنْقَطِعُ بِهِ، ثُمَّ يُوَصَّل لَهُ فَيَعْلُو بِهِ فَأَخْبِرْنِي، يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ، بِأَبِي أَنْتَ، ⦗٨٢⦘ أَصَبْتُ أَمْ أَخْطَاْتُ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ ﷺ: أَصَبْتَ بَعْضًا وأَخطَأْتَ بَعْضًا قَالَ: فَوَاللهِ لَتُحَدِّثنِي بِالَّذِي أَخْطَأْتُ قَالَ: لَا تُقْسِمْ.
A man came to Allâh’s Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم and said, “I saw in a dream, a cloud having shade. Butter and honey were dropping from it and I saw the people gathering it in their hands, some gathering much and some a little. And behold, there was a rope extending from the earth to the sky, and I saw that you (the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم) held it and went up, and then another man held it and went up and (after that) another (third) held it and went up, and then after another (fourth) man held it, but it broke and then got connected again.”Abû Bakr رضى الله عنه said, “O Allâh’s Messenger! Let my father be sacrificed for you! Allow me to interpret this dream.” The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said to him, "Interpret it." Abû Bakr said, "The cloud with shade symbolizes Islâm, and the butter and honey dropping from it, symbolizes the Qur'ân, its sweetness dropping and some people learning much of the Qur'ân and some a little.The rope which is extended from the sky to the earth is the Truth which you (the Prophet ﷺ) are following. You follow it and Allâh will raise you high with it, and then another man will follow it and he will rise up with it and another man will follow it and he will rise up with it, and then another man will follow it but it will break and then it will be connected for him and he will rise up with it. O Allâh's Messenger! Let my father be sacrificed for you! Am I right or wrong?"The Prophet ﷺ replied, "You are right in some of it and wrong in some." Abû Bakr said, "O Allâh's Messenger! By Allâh, you must tell me in what I was wrong." The Prophet ﷺ said, "Do not swear." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 170, Vol. 9)

حديث ابْنِ عُمَرَ، أَنَّ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ قَالَ: أَرَانِي أَتَسَوَّكُ بِسِوَاكٍ، فَجَاءَنِي رَجُلَانِ أَحَدُهُمَا أَكْبَرُ مِنَ الآخَرِ فَنَاوَلْتُ السِّوَاكَ الأَصْغَرَ مِنْهُمَا، فَقِيلَ لِي كَبِّرْ، فَدَفَعْتُهُ إِلَى الأَكْبَرِ مِنْهُمَا.
The Prophet ﷺ said, "I dreamt that I was cleaning my teeth with a Siwâk and two persons came to me. One of them was older than the other and I gave the Siwâk to the younger. I was told that I should give it to the older and so I did." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 246-B, Vol. 1)
حديث أَبِي مُوسى، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ، قَالَ: رَأَيْتُ فِي الْمَنَامِ أَنِّي أُهَاجِرُ مِنْ مَكَّةَ إِلَى أَرْضٍ بِهَا نَخْلٌ، فَذَهَبَ وَهَلِي إِلَى أَنَّهَا الْيَمَامَةُ أَوْ هَجَرُ فَإِذَا هِيَ الْمَدِينَةُ، يَثْرِبُ وَرَأَيْتُ فِي رُؤْيَايَ هذِهِ أَنِّي هَزَزْتُ سَيْفًا فَانْقَطَعَ صَدْرُهُ، فَإِذَا هُوَ مَا أُصِيبَ مِنَ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ، يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ ثُمَّ هَزَزْتُهُ بِأُخْرَى، فَعَادَ أَحْسَنَ مَا كَانَ، فَإِذَا هُوَ مَا جَاءَ اللهُ بِهِ مِنَ الْفَتْحِ وَاجْتِمَاعِ الْمُؤْمِنِينَ وَرَأَيْتُ فِيهَا بَقَرًا، وَاللهُ خَيْرٌ، فَإِذَا هُمُ الْمُؤْمِنُونَ يَوْمَ أُحُدٍ، وَإِذَا الْخَيْرُ مَا جَاءَ اللهُ، مِنَ الْخَيْرِ، وَثَوَابِ الصِّدْقِ الَّذِي آتَانَا اللهُ بَعْدَ يَوْمِ بَدْرٍ.
The Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم said, "In a dream I saw myself migrating from Makka to a place having plenty of date trees. I thought that it was Al-Yamâma or Hajar, but it came to be Al-Madîna i.e. Yathrib. In the same dream I saw myself moving a sword and its blade got broken. It came to symbolize the defeat which the Muslims suffered on the Day of Uhud. I moved the sword again, and it became normal as before, and that was the symbol of the victory Allâh bestowed upon Muslims and their gathering together.I saw cows in my dream, and by Allâh, that was a blessing, and they symbolized the believers on the Day of Uhud. And the blessing was the good, Allâh bestowed upon us and the reward of true belief which Allâh gave us after the Day of Badr." ( Sahîh Al-Bukhârî, Hadîth No. 818, Vol. 4)
حديث ابْنِ عَبَّاسٍ، قَالَ: قَدِمَ مُسَيْلِمَةُ الْكَذَّابُ عَلَى عَهْدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، فَجَعَلَ يَقُولُ: إِنْ جَعَلَ لِي مُحَمَّدٌ مِنْ بَعْدِهِ تَبِعْتُهُ وَقَدِمَهَا فِي بَشَرٍ كَثِيرٍ مِنْ قَوْمِه فَأَقْبَلَ إِلَيْهِ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ، وَمَعَهُ ثَابِتُ بْنُ قَيْسِ بْنِ شَمَّاسٍ وَفِي يَدِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ، قِطْعَةُ جَرِيدٍ، حَتَّى وَقَفَ عَلَى مُسَيْلِمَةَ، فِي أَصْحَابِهِ فَقَالَ: لَوْ سَأَلْتَنِي هذِهِ الْقِطْعَةَ مَا أَعْطَيْتُكَهَا وَلَنْ تَعْدُوَ أَمْرَ اللهِ فِيكَ؛ وَلَئِنْ أَدْبَرْتَ لَيَعْقِرَنَّكَ اللهُ وَإِنِّي لأَرَاكَ الَّذِي أُرِيتُ فِيه مَا رَأَيْتُ وَهذَا ثَابِتٌ يُجِيبُكَ عَنِّي ثُمَّ انْصَرَفَ عَنْهقَالَ ابْنُ عَبَّاسٍ: فَسَأَلْتُ عَنْ قَوْلِ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ: إِنَّكَ أُرَى الَّذِي أُرِيتُ فِيهِ مَا رَأَيْتُ.
Musailima Al-Kadhdhâb came during the life-time of the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم and started saying, "If Muhammad give me the rule after him, I will follow him." And he came to Al-Madîna along with a great number of the people of his tribe. Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم went to him in the company of Thâbit bin Qais bin Shammâs, and at that time, Allâh's Messenger صلى الله عليه وسلم had a stick of a date-palm tree in his hand.When he (i.e. the Prophet صلى الله عليه وسلم ) stopped near Musailima while the latter was amidst his companions, he said to him, "If you ask me for this piece (of stick), I will not give it to you, and Allâh's Order you cannot avoid, (but you will be destroyed), and if you turn your back from this religion (Islâm), then Allâh will destroy you. And I think you are the same person who was shown to me in my dream, and this is Thâbit bin Qais who will answer your questions on my behalf."Then the Prophet ﷺ went away from him. I asked about the statement of Allâh's Messenger ﷺ: "You seem to be the same person who was shown to me in my dream." [See the next Hadith No. 1466.] ( Sahîh Al-Bukhâri, Hadîth No. 659, Vol. 5)
