Sunan Abi Dawud 5021 (Book 43, Hadith 249) #25312
Protection Through Spitting and Seeking Refuge

SUMMARY: Spitting on the left three times and seeking refuge in Allah from evil can protect one from harm.

Abu Qatadah said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) say: A good vision comes from Allah and a dream (hulm) from the devil, so when one of you sees what he dislikes, he must spit on his left (three times), and seek refuge in Allah from its evil. It will then not harm him.
حَدَّثَنَا النُّفَيْلِيُّ، قَالَ سَمِعْتُ زُهَيْرًا، يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ يَحْيَى بْنَ سَعِيدٍ، يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا سَلَمَةَ، يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ أَبَا قَتَادَةَ، يَقُولُ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ الرُّؤْيَا مِنَ اللَّهِ وَالْحُلْمُ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ فَإِذَا رَأَى أَحَدُكُمْ شَيْئًا يَكْرَهُهُ فَلْيَنْفُثْ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ ثَلاَثَ مَرَّاتٍ ثُمَّ لْيَتَعَوَّذْ مِنْ شَرِّهَا فَإِنَّهَا لاَ تَضُرُّهُ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith is about how to protect oneself from harm. It was narrated by Abu Qatadah, who said that he heard the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ say that a good vision comes from Allah, while a dream comes from the devil. If someone sees something they dislike, they should spit on their left three times and seek refuge in Allah from its evil. This will then protect them from any harm it may cause. The hadith teaches us to turn to Allah for protection when we are faced with something we do not like or fear, as He is our only source of true protection and safety.
