Arabic (Original)
حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الرَّزَّاقِ حَدَّثَنَا مَعْمَرٌ عَنِ الزُّهْرِيِّ عَنْ أَبِي سَلَمَةَ قَالَ كُنْتُ أَلْقَى مِنْ الرُّؤْيَا شِدَّةً غَيْرَ أَنِّي لَا أُزَمَّلُ حَتَّى حَدَّثَنِي أَبُو قَتَادَةَ أَنَّهُ سَمِعَ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَقُولُ الرُّؤْيَا مِنْ اللَّهِ وَالْحُلْمُ مِنْ الشَّيْطَانِ فَإِذَا حَلَمَ أَحَدُكُمْ حُلْمًا يَكْرَهُهُ فَلْيَبْصُقْ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ ثَلَاثَ بَصَقَاتٍ وَلْيَسْتَعِذْ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ الشَّيْطَانِ فَإِنَّهُ لَا يَضُرُّهُ.
English Translation
'Abd al-Razzaq narrated to us, Ma'mar narrated to us, from al-Zuhri, from Abu Salamah, who said: I used to experience distress from dreams, though I was not made to feel dread, until Abu Qatadah narrated to me that he heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) saying: "Dreams are from Allah and nightmares are from the devil. If one of you has a nightmare that he dislikes, let him spit to his left three times and seek refuge in Allah from the devil, for it will not harm him."
