AI Overview
According to Islamic teachings, a good dream (a positive dream considered to be from Allah) can be shared with someone you trust, like your wife, while a bad dream (considered to be from Satan) should not be mentioned to anyone and instead, one should seek refuge with Allah by spitting on the left side and making dua.
Key points to remember:
- Positive dreams:If you have a positive dream, you can share it with your wife as it is seen as a blessing from Allah.
- Negative dreams:If you have a negative dream, it is recommended to not share it with anyone and instead seek refuge with Allah by spitting on the left side and making dua.
Reasoning behind this practice:
- Interpretation of dreams:In Islam, dreams can be a form of guidance from Allah, but interpreting them correctly is important.
- Avoiding negative influence: Sharing a bad dream could potentially invite negative energy or worry, which is why it is advised to keep it to yourself and seek protection from Allah.

Abu Qatada reported Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: A good vision is from Allah and a bad dream (hulm) is from the satan; so if one of you sees anything (in a dream which he dislikes, he should spit on his left side thrice and seek refuge with Allah from its evil, and then it will never harm him. Abu Salama said: I used to see dreams weighing more heavily upon me than a mountain; but since I heard this hadith I don’t care for it (its burden).
Abu Salama reported Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: I used to see dreams, but the hadith transmitted on the authority of Laith b. Nu’man, the words of Abu Salama at the concluding part of the hadith are not mentioned. Ibn Rumh has reported in the hadith: “He (one who sleeps) should change the side on which he had been lying before.”
Abu Qatada reported Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying : The good vision are from Allah and the evil dreams are from the satan. If one sees a dream which one does not like, one should spit on one’s left side and seek the refuge of Allah from the satan; it will not do one any harm, and one should not disclose it to anyone and if one sees a good vision one should feel pleased but should not disclose it to anyone but whom one loves.
Abu Salama replied: I used to see (such horrible dreams) that I fell ill. I saw Abu Qatada who also said: I used to see dreams which made me sick until I heard Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying: Good dreams are from Allah, so if any one of you sees which he likes he should not disclose it to one but whow he loves, but if he sees something which he does not like he should spit on his left side thrice and seek refuge with Allah from the mischief of the satan and its mischief (i.e. of the dream), and he should not relate it to anyone, then it would not harm him.
Jabir reported Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying : If anyone sees a dream which he does not like, lie should spit on his left side.
Abu Huraira reported Allah’s Messenger (may peace be upon him) as saying : When the time draws near (when the Resurrection is near) a believer’s dream can 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: one good dream which is a sort of good tidings from Allah ; the evil dream which causes pain is from the satan ; and the third one is a suggestion of one’s own mind; so if any one of you sees a dream which he does not like he should stand tip and offer prayer and he should not relate it to people, and he said: I would love to see fetters (in the dream), but I dislike wearing of necklace, for the fetters is (an indication of) one’s steadfastness in religion. The narrator said: I do not know whether this is a part of the hadith or the words of Ibn Sirin.
