but today morning i had a dream were i saw me and my cousin spending our holidays in a hotel and (lahaulwalaquat)I found both me and my cousin holding a green color chamapangne bottle and that we were both tempted to taste it as so we do(lahaulwalaquwat).and after a while later i see my elder brother coming in and both me and my cousin get terrified and scared.Then i see my elder sister in a black salwar and that a brown dog is chasing her.
Imam saheb when I was dreaming I was getting really scared and I also feared that i commited a sin and then when i opened my eyes and got up from the left position(the position in which I was sleeping),i felt relieved that it was just a dream.
It was 5.30am at that time and i had to rush for fazr prayers,but as i was praying i felt really happy and had this beautiful feeling inside of me,that was convincing me that ALLAH is with me and listening to my heart.I never had such a lovely feeling,and I feel happy even now as I'm writing to you.
I don't know what this means,shuld i believe in the dream or should I listen to my heart.
Note that the things people see in their sleep may come under
one of two categories :
1 – Dreams/visions
2 – Confused dreams
Confused dreams in turn are divided into two categories:
1 – The Shaytaan’s attempts to frighten
2 – The workings of the subconscious.
So it may be said that what people see in their dreams may be
divided into three categories:
1-
Visions or dreams that come
from Allaah.
2-
Attempts by the Shaytaan to
frighten us
3-
The workings of the
subconscious.
These categories are
indicated by the hadeeth narrated in Saheeh Muslim (no. 2263) from
Abu Hurayrah, which says that the Prophet (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) said: “When the time (of the Day of Resurrection) draws
near, a believer's dream will hardly be false. And the truest vision will be
of one who is himself the most truthful in speech, for the vision of a
Muslim is the forty-fifth part of Prophecy, and dreams are of three types:
the good dream which is glad tidings from Allah;
the bad dream which causes distress, which is from the
Shaytaan;
and the dream which represents what a person is thinking
about.
So if any one of you sees a dream which he does not like he
should get up and pray, and not tell people about his dream…”
It was narrated from ‘Awf ibn Maalik that the Messenger of
Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Dreams are of
three types: some are terrifying things from the Shaytaan, aimed at causing
grief to the son of Adam; some are things that a person is concerned with
when he is awake, so he sees them in his dreams; and some are a part of the
forty-six parts of Prophecy.”
(Saheeh Sunan Ibn Maajah, 3155)
It was narrated from Abu Hurayrah that
the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Dreams
are of three types: glad tidings from Allaah, what is on a person’s mind,
and frightening dreams from the Shaytaan. If any of you sees a dream that he
likes, let him tell others of it if he wishes, but if he sees something that
he dislikes, he should not tell anyone about it, and he should get up and
pray.”
(Saheeh Sunan Ibn Maajah, 3154)
There follow a number of saheeh ahaadeeth which describe how
to deal with what one sees in one’s dream.
1 – It was narrated that Abu Qutaadah said: The Messenger of
Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “Good dreams
come from Allaah and bad dreams come from the Shaytaan. If anyone sees a bad
dream that scares him, let him spit drily to his left and seek refuge with
Allaah from its evil, then it will not harm him.”
(Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 3292)
2 – It was narrated that Abu Salamah said: I used to see such
terrible dreams that that I began to shake and have a fever, but did not
cover myself with a cloak until I met Abu Qutaadah, and I mentioned that to
him. He said, “I heard the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of
Allaah be upon him) say, ‘Good dreams come from Allaah and bad dreams come
from the Shaytaan. If anyone sees a bad dream that he dislikes, let him spit
drily to his left three times and seek refuge with Allaah from its evil,
then it will not harm him.’”
(Narrated by Muslim, 2261)
3 – It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah said: The Messenger of
Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “If any one of
you sees a dream that he dislikes, let him turn over, and spit drily to his
left three times and ask Allaah of His goodness, and seek refuge with Him
from its evil.”
(Saheeh Sunan Ibn Maajah).
4 – It was narrated from
Jaabir that the Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be
upon him) said: “If any one of you sees a dream that he dislikes, let him
spit drily to his left three times and seek refuge with Allaah from the
Shaytaan three times, and turn over onto his other side.”
(Narrated by Muslim, 2262).
5 – The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon
him) told us the difference between good dreams and bad dreams. It was
narrated from Abu Sa’eed al-Khudri that he heard the Messenger of Allaah
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) say: “If any one of you
sees a dream that he likes, it is from Allaah, so let him praise Allaah for
it and tell people about it. But if he sees something other than that, that
he dislikes, it is from the Shaytaan, so let him seek refuge with Allaah
from its evil and not mention it to anyone, for it will not harm him.”
(Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 7045).
So it is clear that good dreams come from Allaah and bad
dreams which a person dislikes come from the Shaytaan, so he has to seek
refuge with Allaah from their evil.
6 – It was narrated that Abu Hurayrah said: the Prophet
(peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: “If any one of you sees
something that he dislikes, let him get up and pray, and not tell people
about it.”
(Narrated by Muslim, 2263).
7 – It was narrated from Jaabir that a Bedouin came to the
Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and
said, “I dreamt that my head was cut off and I was chasing it.” The
Messenger of Allaah (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) rebuked
him and said: “Do not tell anyone how the Shaytaan is messing about with you
in your dreams.”
(Narrated by Muslim, 2268)
So we may sum up from these ahaadeeth the most important
points about what a person should do if he sees a dream that he dislikes, as
follows:
1-
He should know that this dream
is from the Shaytaan who wants to cause him grief, so he should annoy the
Shaytaan by not paying any attention to him.
2-
He should seek refuge with
Allaah from the accursed Shaytaan.
3-
He should seek refuge with
Allaah from the evil of this dream.
4-
He should spit drily to his
left three times, i.e., blowing with a little bit of saliva.
5-
He should not tell anyone about
it.
6-
He should turn over from the
side on which he was sleeping, so if he was lying on his left side he should
turn over to his right side, and vice versa.
7-
He should get up and pray.
If a person adheres to this etiquette, then we hope that this
bad dream will not harm him, as it says in the texts. And Allaah knows best.
