Sahih al-Bukhari 6989 (Book 91, Hadith 8) #6719
Dreams as Prophecy

SUMMARY: Dreams can be a form of prophecy.

Narrated Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri: I heard Allah's Messenger saying, "A good dream is a part of the forty six parts of prophetism".
حَدَّثَنِي إِبْرَاهِيمُ بْنُ حَمْزَةَ، حَدَّثَنِي ابْنُ أَبِي حَازِمٍ، وَالدَّرَاوَرْدِيُّ، عَنْ يَزِيدَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ خَبَّابٍ، عَنْ أَبِي سَعِيدٍ الْخُدْرِيِّ، أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ يَقُولُ ‏ "‏ الرُّؤْيَا الصَّالِحَةُ جُزْءٌ مِنْ سِتَّةٍ وَأَرْبَعِينَ جُزْءًا مِنَ النُّبُوَّةِ

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith tells us that dreams can be a form of prophecy. It was narrated by Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri who heard it from the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ. The Prophet ﷺ said that good dreams are one of the forty six parts of prophetism. This means that sometimes people may have prophetic dreams which could contain messages from Allah or warnings about what is to come in the future. It is important to remember though, not all dreams are prophetic and we should not rely on them too much for guidance or advice. We should always seek guidance from Allah through prayer and reading the Quran instead.
