What to Say on Having a Good / Bad Dream
[A] If you have a good dream, it is believed
to come from Allah, so you should say:
/alhamdulil-laah/ (Praise be to
Allah).
You can tell the people you like
about it.
[B] If you have a bad dream, it is
said to be from Satan, so you should say:
/a’uudu bil-laahi min
sharrish-shaiTaan wa-sharriha/
Translation: (I
seek refuge in Allah from the evil of Satan and the evil of that dream).
You should also do Nafth three times
to your left. You should not tell anyone about it.
The Prophet said, “If any of you has
a dream he likes, it is from Allah, so he should thank Him for it, and he can
speak about it. If he sees something he hates, it is from Satan, so he should
seek Allah’s protection from its evil. He should not mention it to anyone. It
cannot harm him (anyway).”
