Riyad as-Salihin 840 (Book 4, Hadith 28) #37329
Dreams from Allah and the Satan

SUMMARY: Dreams can be from Allah or the Satan, and one should seek refuge in Allah against evil dreams and only share good dreams with those they love.

Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard the Prophet saying, "When one of you sees a dream that he likes, then it is from Allah. He should praise Allah for it and relate it to (others)". Another narration adds: Messenger of Allah said, "He should not report it except to those whom he loves. And if he sees one which he dislikes, then it is from the Satan. He should seek refuge in Allah against its evil and should not mention it to anyone. Then it will not harm him". Al- Bukhari and Muslim.
وعن أبى سعيد الخدرى رضى الله عنه انه سمع النبي ، يقول‏:‏ ‏ "‏إذا رأى أحدكم رؤيا يحبها، فإنما هي من الله تعالى، فليحمد الله عليها، وليحدث بها -وفى رواية، فلا يحدث بها إلا من يحب- وإذا رأى غير ذلك مما يكره، فإنما هي من الشيطان، فليستعذ من شرها، ولا يذكرها لأحد، فإنها لا تضره‏"‏ (( مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيهِ)).

In this case one should seek refuge in Allah against its evil and not mention it to anyone else as this will protect them from any harm caused by such a dream. This hadith teaches us to always remain grateful for blessings we receive from God and also to take precautions against any negative influences of the devil.
