Hadith - Faith in Allah

Bad Dream

Jabir reported Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) as saying: If anyone sees a dream which he does not like, should spit on his left side. (Muslim,5620)

Anas b. Malik reported Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) as saying: Neither nurse mutual hatred, nor jealousy, nor enmity, and become as fellow brothers and servants of Allaah. It is not lawful for a Muslim that he should keep his relations estranged with his brother beyond three days (Muslim, 6205).

Ibn `Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) reported: I saw Messenger of Allah (PBUH) sitting in the compound of the Holy Ka`bah, with the thighs against the stomach and arms around his legs. [Al-Bukhari].

Ash-Sharid bin Suwaid (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) passed by me when I was sitting with my left hand behind my back and leaning on my palm. On seeing me in this posture he said, "Do you sit like those upon whom the Wrath of Allah has descended?'' [Abu Dawud].
Commentary: The Jews and Christians are the people upon whom came the Wrath of Allah. Muslims have been stopped from copying their example. But unfortunately they now take a pride in imitating them in every matter and think it necessary for worldly progress.

Abu Sa`id Al-Khudri (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: I heard the Prophet (PBUH) 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(PBUH) 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].

Abu Qatadah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: The Prophet (PBUH) said, "A good vision (dream) is from Allah and a bad dream is from the Satan. He who sees something in a dream that he dislikes, should blow thrice on his left, must seek Allah's Refuge from the evil of the Satan (i.e., by saying: A`udhu billahi minash-Shaitanir-Rajim). Then it will not harm him.'' [Al-Bukhari and Muslim].

"To smile in the company of your brother is charity. To command to do good deeds and to prevent others from doing evil is charity. To guide a person in a place where he can go astray is charity. To remove troublesome things like thorns and bones from the road is charity. To pour water from your jug into the jug of your brother is charity.To guide a person with defective vision is charity for you." ( Bukhari )

Anas b. Malik reported that Allaah's Messenger (sallAllaahu alayhi wa sallam) thus told him: When a non-believer does good, he is made to taste its reward in this world. And so far as the believer is concerned, Allaah stores (the reward) of his virtues for the Hereafter and provides him sustenance in accordance with his obedience to Him [Muslim, 6740].
