حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ بُكَيْرٍ، حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ، عَنْ عُبَيْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ، عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ، قَالَ قَالَ النَّبِيُّ صلى الله عليه وسلم ‏ "‏ الرُّؤْيَا الصَّالِحَةُ مِنَ اللَّهِ، وَالْحُلْمُ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ، فَمَنْ رَأَى شَيْئًا يَكْرَهُهُ فَلْيَنْفِثْ عَنْ شِمَالِهِ ثَلاَثًا، وَلْيَتَعَوَّذْ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ، فَإِنَّهَا لاَ تَضُرُّهُ، وَإِنَّ الشَّيْطَانَ لاَ يَتَرَاءَى بِي ‏"‏.

Narrator: Abu Qatada

English translation
Narrated Abu Qatada: The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "A good dream is from Allah, and a bad dream is from Satan. So whoever has seen (in a dream) something he dislikes, then he should spit without saliva, thrice on his left and seek refuge with Allah from Satan, for it will not harm him, and Satan cannot appear in my shape
বাংলা অনুবাদ
আবূ ক্বাতাদাহ (রাঃ) হতে বর্ণিত। তিনি বলেন, নবী সাল্লাল্লাহু আলাইহি ওয়াসাল্লাম বলেছেনঃ ভালো স্বপ্ন আল্লাহর তরফ থেকে ও খারাপ স্বপ্ন শয়তানের তরফ থেকে হয়ে থাকে। কেউ এমন কিছু দেখল, যা সে অপছন্দ করে, সে যেন বামদিকে তিনবার থুথু ফেলে এবং শয়তান থেকে আশ্রয় চায়। তাহলে এ স্বপ্ন তার কোন ক্ষতি করবে না। আর শয়তান আমার আকৃতি ধরতে পারে না। [৩২৯২] (আধুনিক প্রকাশনী- ৬৫১১, ইসলামিক ফাউন্ডেশন)
