Dreams According to Quran and Sunnah

The dreams of the Prophets are Divine Inspirations.
Sahih Bukhari
Hadith - Bukhari 2:468, Narrated Samura bin Jundab
Whenever the Prophet finished the (morning) prayer, he would face us
and ask, " Who amongst you had a dream last night? " So if anyone had
seen a dream he would narrate it. The Prophet would say: " Ma
sha'a-llah "
Hadith - Bukhari 9:119, Narrated AbuHuraira
I heard Allah's Apostle saying, " Nothing is left of the prophetism
except Al-Mubashshirat." They asked, "What are Al-Mubashshirat?" He
replied, "The true good dreams (that conveys glad tidings). "
Hadith - Bukhari 9:168, Narrated Abu Salama
I used to see a dream which would make me sick till I heard Abu Qatada
saying, "I too, used to see a dream which would make me sick till I
heard the Prophet saying, " A good dream is from Allah, so if anyone
of you saw a dream which he liked, he shouldnot tell it to anybody
except to the one whom he loves, and if he saw a dream which he
disliked,then he should seek refuge with Allah from itsevil and from
the evil of Satan, and spit three times (on his left) and should not
tell it to anybody, for it will not harm him. "
Hadith -Sahih Bukhari, Volume 9, Book 87, Number 115: Narrated Abu Qatada
The Prophet said, " A good dream thatcomes true is from Allah, and a
bad dream is from Satan, so if anyone of you sees a bad dream,
heshould seek refuge with Allah from Satan and should spit on the
left, for the bad dream will not harm him. "
Hadith - Muslim 5640, Narrated Jabir ibn Abdullah, r.a.
Allah's Messenger said: There came to him (the Prophet) a desert Arab
and said: I saw in a dream that I had been beheaded and I had been
following it (the severed head). Allah's Apostle reprimanded him
saying: Do not inform about the vain sporting of devil with you during
the night.
Hadith - Sahih Bukhari 9:144, Narrated Abu Huraira
Allah's Apostle said, " When the Day of Resurrection approaches, the
dreams of a believer will hardly fail to come true, and a dream of a
believer is one of forty-six parts of prophetism, and whatever belongs
to prothetism can never be false. " Muhammad bin Sirin said, "But I
say this."He said, "It used to be said, 'There are three types of
dreams: The reflection of one's thoughts and experiences one has
during wakefulness, what is suggested by Satan to frighten the
dreamer, or glad tidings from Allah. So, if someone has a dream which
he dislikes, he should not tell it to others, but get up and offer a
prayer." He added, "He (Abu Huraira) hated to see a Ghul (i.e., iron
collar around his neck in a dream) and people liked to see fetters (on
their feet in a dream). The fetters on the feet symbolizes one's
constant and firm adherence to religion." And Abu 'Abdullah
said,"Ghuls (iron collars) are used only for necks."
Hadith - Al-Muwatta 52.5
Yahya related to me fromMalik from Hisham ibn Urwa that his father
said about this ayat, "For them are glad tidings, in the life of the
present world, and in the Hereafter," (Sura 10 ayat 64), that it was
the good dream which the man who was salih saw or which was shown to
him.
The Noble Qur'an - Yunus 10:64
For them are glad tidings, in the life of the present world. (i.e.
righteous dream seen by the person himself or shown to others), and in
the Hereafter. No change can there be in the Words of Allâh, this is
indeed the supreme success.
