Sahih al-Bukhari 6986 (Book 91, Hadith 5) #6716
The Power of Dreams

SUMMARY: Dreams can be from Allah or Satan, and if one has a bad dream they should seek refuge with Allah and spit on the left to protect themselves.

Narrated Abu Qatada: The Prophet said, "A good dream that comes true is from Allah, and a bad dream is from Satan, so if anyone of you sees a bad dream, he should seek refuge with Allah from Satan and should spit on the left, for the bad dream will not harm him".
حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ ـ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ خَيْرًا لَقِيتُهُ بِالْيَمَامَةِ ـ عَنْ أَبِيهِ، حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، عَنِ النَّبِيِّ قَالَ ‏ "‏ الرُّؤْيَا الصَّالِحَةُ مِنَ اللَّهِ، وَالْحُلْمُ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ، فَإِذَا حَلَمَ فَلْيَتَعَوَّذْ مِنْهُ وَلْيَبْصُقْ عَنْ شِمَالِهِ، فَإِنَّهَا لاَ تَضُرُّهُ ‏"‏‏.‏ وَعَنْ أَبِيهِ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ عَنِ النَّبِيِّ مِثْلَهُ‏.‏

It teaches us that dreams can come from either Allah or Satan, and if we have a bad dream we should seek refuge with Allah by saying “A’udhu billahi minash shaitanir rajim” and then spitting on our left side three times. By doing this, it will protect us from any harm that may come from the bad dream. We should also remember to thank Allah for any good dreams that He sends us as a sign of His mercy towards us.
