Jami at-Tirmidhi 2270 (Book 34, Hadith 1) #27903
The Truthfulness of Believer's Dreams

SUMMARY: Dreams of a believer are usually true and can be interpreted as a portion of Prophet-hood. Dreams can be good, bad or neutral and when one sees something they dislike, they should spit and not tell anyone.

Abu Hurairah narrated that the Messenger of Allah (s.a.w) said: "When time draws near, the dreams of a believer will hardly ever fail to come true, and the most truthful of them in dreams will be the truest in speech among them. The dream of a Muslim is a portion among the forty-six portions of Prophet-hood. And dreams are of three types: The righteous dream which is good news from Allah, dreams in which the Shaithan frightens someone, and dreams about something that has happened to the man himself. So when one of you sees what he dislikes, then he should get up and spit, and not tell any of the people- he said:- and I like the fetters in a dream while I dislike the iron collar". And the interpretation of fetters is being firm in the religion".
حَدَّثَنَا نَصْرُ بْنُ عَلِيٍّ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْوَهَّابِ الثَّقَفِيُّ، حَدَّثَنَا أَيُّوبُ، عَنْ مُحَمَّدِ بْنِ سِيرِينَ، عَنْ أَبِي هُرَيْرَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ ‏ "‏ إِذَا اقْتَرَبَ الزَّمَانُ لَمْ تَكَدْ رُؤْيَا الْمُؤْمِنِ تَكْذِبُ وَأَصْدَقُهُمْ رُؤْيَا أَصْدَقُهُمْ حَدِيثًا وَرُؤْيَا الْمُسْلِمِ جُزْءٌ مِنْ سِتَّةٍ وَأَرْبَعِينَ جُزْءًا مِنَ النُّبُوَّةِ وَالرُّؤْيَا ثَلاَثٌ فَالرُّؤْيَا الصَّالِحَةُ بُشْرَى مِنَ اللَّهِ وَالرُّؤْيَا مِنْ تَحْزِينِ الشَّيْطَانِ وَالرُّؤْيَا مِمَّا يُحَدِّثُ بِهَا الرَّجُلُ نَفْسَهُ فَإِذَا رَأَى أَحَدُكُمْ مَا يَكْرَهُ فَلْيَقُمْ وَلْيَتْفُلْ وَلاَ يُحَدِّثْ بِهَا النَّاسَ قَالَ وَأُحِبُّ الْقَيْدَ فِي النَّوْمِ وَأَكْرَهُ الْغُلَّ الْقَيْدُ ثَبَاتٌ فِي الدِّينِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ وَهَذَا حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ صَحِيحٌ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains the truthfulness of believer's dreams. It is narrated by Abu Hurairah that the Messenger of Allah said that when time draws near, the dreams of a believer will hardly ever fail to come true. This means that if a believer has a dream, it is likely to come true in some way or another. Furthermore, it is stated that the most truthful in speech among them will also be the most truthful in their dreams. Additionally, it is mentioned that dreams are part of forty-six portions from Prophet-hood which means they have an important role in understanding religious matters and teachings from Allah SWT. Moreover, this hadith explains three types of dreams; righteous dream which brings good news from Allah SWT; bad dream which frightens someone; and neutral dream about something happening to oneself. Lastly, if one sees something they dislike in their dream then they should get up and spit without telling anyone else about it as this could bring harm upon themself or others around them. The interpretation for fetters being firm on religion implies staying strong on faith even during difficult times with patience and perseverance while iron collar symbolizes oppression or slavery towards religion which must be avoided at all costs for spiritual growth .
