Riyad as-Salihin, 842
Jabir (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "When one of you sees a bad dream let him blow three times on his left, seek refuge in Allah from the Satan three times (i.e., by saying: A'udhu billahi minash-Shaitanir-Rajim) and change the side on which he was lying." <b>[Muslim]</b>.
وعن جابر رضى الله عنه عن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال:
إذا رأى أحدكم الرؤيا يكرهها، فليبصق عن يساره ثلاثاً، وليستعذ بالله من الشيطان ثلاثاً، وليتحول عن جنبه الذي كان عليه
((رَوَاهُ مُسلِمٌ)).

<b>Guidance from the Hadiths:</b><br>
1) A bad dream, in which a person sees unpleasant and disturbing things, comes from Satan. A good dream, on the other hand, is glad tidings to the believer, and it comes from Allah Almighty.<br>
2) A bad dream does not harm a person if he does certain things: spitting dryly three times to his left side, seeking refuge with Allah three times from the evil of Satan and the evil of what he has seen in the dream, and turning to the other side. Moreover, if he feels active, he can get up, perform ablution, and pray. He should not relate the dream to anyone or try to interpret it. Whoever does these things will not be harmed by such dreams, Allah Willing.
