Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ قَالَ عَنْ يَعْلَى بْنِ عَطَاءٍ عَنْ وَكِيعِ بْنِ حُدُسٍ عَنْ أَبِي رَزِينٍ عَمِّهِ أَنَّ نَبِيَّ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ قَالَ رُؤْيَا الْمُسْلِمِ جُزْءٌ مِنْ أَرْبَعِينَ جُزْءًا مِنْ النُّبُوَّةِ وَهِيَ يَعْنِي عَلَى رِجْلِ طَائِرٍ مَا لَمْ يُحَدِّثْ بِهَا فَإِذَا حَدَّثَ بِهَا وَقَعَتْ.
English Translation
Muhammad ibn Ja'far told us: Shu'ba told us, from Ya'la ibn Ata', from Waki' ibn Hudus, from Abu Razin, his uncle: that the Prophet of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said: 'The dream of the Muslim is one part out of forty parts of prophecy, and it rests — meaning — on the leg of a bird as long as he has not related it; but when he relates it, it comes to pass.'
