Sunan Ibn Majah 3907 (Book 35, Hadith 15) #33261
Types of Dreams

SUMMARY: Dreams can be of three types, one being a part of prophecy.

It was narrated from Abu 'Ubaidullah Muslim bin Mishkam, that 'Awf bin Malik narrated that the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: "Dreams are of three types: Some are terrifying things from Satan, 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". He said: "I said to him: 'Did you hear this from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?’ He said: 'Yes, I heard it from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I heard it from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.’"
حَدَّثَنَا هِشَامُ بْنُ عَمَّارٍ، حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ حَمْزَةَ، حَدَّثَنَا يَزِيدُ بْنُ عَبِيدَةَ، حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ، مُسْلِمُ بْنُ مِشْكَمٍ عَنْ عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ ﷺ ـ قَالَ ‏ "‏ إِنَّ الرُّؤْيَا ثَلاَثٌ مِنْهَا أَهَاوِيلُ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ لِيَحْزُنَ بِهَا ابْنَ آدَمَ وَمِنْهَا مَا يَهُمُّ بِهِ الرَّجُلُ فِي يَقَظَتِهِ فَيَرَاهُ فِي مَنَامِهِ وَمِنْهَا جُزْءٌ مِنْ سِتَّةٍ وَأَرْبَعِينَ جُزْءًا مِنَ النُّبُوَّةِ ‏"‏ ‏.‏ قَالَ قُلْتُ لَهُ أَنْتَ سَمِعْتَ هَذَا مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ ﷺ ـ قَالَ نَعَمْ أَنَا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ ﷺ ـ أَنَا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ـ ﷺ

QUICK LESSONS:
Seek refuge with Allah before sleeping ; seek guidance when unsure about dream's meaning ; distinguish between true prophecies & false ones ; understand different types of dreams & their origins .

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith explains that dreams can be divided into three categories. The first type is terrifying things from Satan, which are meant to cause distress to humans. The second type is related to the thoughts and worries a person has while awake, which they may see in their dreams as well. The third type is related to prophecy, which means that some dreams may contain messages from Allah or His angels about the future or other matters. It is important for us to remember that not all dreams are prophetic in nature and we should seek guidance from knowledgeable people if we have any doubts about our dream's meaning or origin. We should also strive to protect ourselves from evil by seeking refuge with Allah and reciting His verses before going to sleep so that we do not fall prey to the tricks of Shaytan in our sleep.
