Fw: Seen A Bad Dream ? What Should You Do ?

From: Adil ibn Manzoor Khan Subject: Seen A Bad Dream ? What Should You Do ?   In the name of Allah, the Most-Merciful, the All-Compassionate   "May the Peace and Blessings of Allah be Upon You" Praise be to Allaah, we seek His help and His forgiveness. We seek refuge with Allaah from the evil of our own souls and from our bad deeds. Whomsoever Allaah guides will never be led astray, and whomsoever Allaah leaves astray, no one can guide. I bear witness that there is no god but Allaah, and I bear witness that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger.      Bismillah Walhamdulillah Was Salaatu Was Salaam 'ala Rasulillah As-Salaam Alaikum Wa-Rahmatullahi Wa-Barakatuhu   Bad dreams   If a Muslim sees a bad dream (nightmare), he should do the following:   He should spit (dryly) to his left three times   He should seek refuge in Allah from Shaytaan three times   He should seek refuge in Allah from the evil of the dream   He should stand up and pray   He should change the side on which he was sleeping if he wants to continue to sleep, even if that means turning onto his left side   He should not inform anyone   He should neither interpret it himself nor ask anyone else to interpret it.   The evidence for this is the narration of Jaabir (may Allaah be pleased with him) that: "The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said: If any one of you sees a dream that he dislikes, he should spit to his left three times, seek refuge in Allah from the Shaytaan, and turn over on to his other side.'" (Saheeh Muslim, no. 2262)   According to another report, the wording is: "He should seek refuge in Allah from its evil, so that it does not harm him."     Jaabir (may Allaah be pleased with him) reported that a Bedouin came to the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) and said: "O Prophet of Allah, I saw a dream that my head was chopped off and rolled away, and I ran after it." The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) said to him: "Do not tell people the Shaytaan is playing with you in your dreams." (Saheeh Muslim, no. 2268)   According to another report, the wording is:   "If anyone sees something he dislikes, he should get up and pray."
