Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا بِشْرُ بْنُ شُعَيْبٍ حَدَّثَنِي أَبِي عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ بْنُ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ أَنَّ أَبَا قَتَادَةَ كَانَ مِنْ أَصْحَابِ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ وَفُرْسَانِهِ قَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ الرُّؤْيَا مِنْ اللَّهِ وَالْحُلْمُ مِنْ الشَّيْطَانِ إِذَا حَلَمَ أَحَدُكُمْ الْحُلْمَ يَكْرَهُهُ فَلْيَبْصُقْ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ ثَلَاثًا وَلْيَسْتَعِذْ بِاللَّهِ مِنْهُ فَلَنْ يَضُرَّهُ.
English Translation
Bishr ibn Shu'ayb narrated to us, my father narrated to me, from al-Zuhri, Abu Salamah ibn 'Abd al-Rahman informed me that Abu Qatadah, who was one of the companions and horsemen of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) saying: "Dreams are from Allah and nightmares are from the devil. If one of you has a nightmare that he dislikes, let him spit to his left three times and seek refuge in Allah from it, for it will not harm him."
