Abu Qatada (Radi'Allahu anhu) reported
Allah's Messenger (Sall'Allahu alaihi wa sallam) as saying:
A good vision is from Allah
and a bad dream (hulm) is from the satan;
so if one of you sees anything
(in a dream which he dislikes,
he should spit on his left side thrice
and seek refuge with Allah from its evil,
and then it will never harm him.
Abu Salama (Radi'Allahu anhu) said:
I used to see dreams weighing
more heavily upon me than a mountain;
but since I heard this hadith
I don't care for it (its burden).
(Sahih Muslim ~ Book #029, Hadith #5616)
