Hadith
Ibn 'Umar (May Allah be pleased with them) reported:
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) seldom left a gathering without supplicating in these terms: "Allahumma-qsim lana min khashyatika ma tahulu bihi bainana wa baina ma'sika, wa min ta'atika ma tuballighuna bihi jannataka, wa minal-yaqini ma tuhawwinu 'alaina masa-'ibad-dunya. Allahumma matti'na biasma'ina, wa absarina, wa quwwatina ma ahyaitana, waj'alhul-waritha minna, waj'al tharana 'ala man zalamana, wansurna 'ala man 'adana, wa la taj'al musibatana fi dinina, wa la taj'alid-dunya akbara hammina, wa la mablagha 'ilmina, wa la tusallit 'alaina man-la yarhamuna, (O Allah, apportion to us such fear as should serve as a barrier between us and acts of disobedience; and such obedience as will take us to Your Jannah; and such as will make easy for us to bear in the calamities of this world. O Allah! let us enjoy our hearing, our sight and our power as long as You keep us alive and make our heirs from our own offspring, and make our revenge restricted to those who oppress us, and support us against those who are hostile to us let no misfortune afflict our Deen; let not worldly affairs be our principal concern, or the ultimate limit of our knowledge, and let not those rule over us who do not show mercy to us)." <b>[At- Tirmidhi]</b>.
اللهم اقسم لنا من خشيتك ما تحول به بيننا وبين معاصيك، ومن طاعتك ما تبلغنا به جنتك، ومن اليقين ما تهون به علينا مصائب الدنيا، اللهم متعنا بأسماعنا وأبصارنا وقوتنا ما أحييتنا، واجعله الوارث منا، واجعل ثأرنا على من ظلمنا، وانصرنا على من عادانا، ولا تجعل مصيبتنا في ديننا، ولا تجعل الدنيا أكبر همنا، ولا مبلغ علمنا، ولا تسلط علينا من لا يرحمنا
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Those people who leave a gathering in which they have not remembered Allah, will conclude it as if it has foul odour similar to that of a rotten carcass of a donkey. And it will be a cause of grief to them." <b>[Abu Dawud]</b>.
ما من قوم يقومون من مجلس ولا يذكرون اللَّه تعالى فيه إلا قاموا عن مثل جيفة حمار وكان لهم حسرة
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "Whenever a group of people sit in a gathering in which they do not remember Allah the Exalted, nor supplicate to elevate the rank of their Prophet, such a gathering will be a cause of grief to them. If Allah wills, He will punish them, and if He wills He will forgive them." <b>[At-Tirmidhi]</b>.
وعنه عن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: "ما جلس قوم مجلساً لم يذكروا الله تعالى فيه، ولم يصلوا على نبيهم فيه، إلا كان عليهم ترة؛ فإن شاء عذبهم، وإن شاء غفر لهم" ((رَوَاهُ التِّرمِذِيُّ وَقَالَ: "حَدِيثٌ حَسَنٌ")).
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "If anyone sits in a gathering where he does not remember Allah, he will bring grief upon himself (on the Day of Resurrection), and he who lies down in a place where he does not remember Allah, will bring grief upon himself (on the Day of Resurrection)." <b>[Abu Dawud]</b>.
وعنه عن رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: "من قعد مقعداً لم يذكر الله تعالى فيه كانت عليه من الله ترة، ومن اضطجع مضجعاً لم يذكر الله فيه كانت عليه من الله ترة" ((رَوَاهُ أبُو دَاوُدَ)). وقد سبق قريباً، وشرحنا "الترة" فيه.
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "All that is left from Prophethood is the glad tidings." He was asked what the glad tidings were, and he said, "The good dream." <b>[Al-Bukhari]</b>.
وعن أبى هريرة رضى الله عنه قال: سمعت رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم يقول: "لم يبق من النبوة إلا المبشرات" قالوا: وما المبشرات؟ قال: "الرؤيا الصالحة" (( رَوَاهُ البُخَارِيُّ)).
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "When the time draws near (i.e., near the end of the world), the dream of a believer can hardly be false; and the dream of a believer represents one part from forty-six parts of Prophethood." <b>[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]</b>. One narration says: Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "The most truthful of you in their speech are those who see the truest visions."
وعنه أن النبي صلى الله عليه وسلم قال: "إذا اقترب الزمان لم تكد رؤيا المؤمن تكذب، ورؤيا المؤمن جزء من ستة وأربعين جزءاً من النبوة" ((مُتَّفَقٌ عَلَيهِ)). وفى رواية: "أصدقكم رؤيا أصدقكم حديثاً".
Abu Hurairah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "He who sees me in his dream will see me in his wakefulness (or he (ﷺ) may have said it is as though he has seen me in a state of wakefulness), for Satan does not appear in my form." <b>[Al-Bukhari and Muslim ]</b>.
من رآني في المنام فسيراني في اليقظة -أو كأنما رآني في اليقظة- لا يتمثل الشيطان بي
Abu Sa'id Al-Khudri (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
I heard the Prophet (ﷺ) saying, "When one of you sees a dream that he likes, then it is from Allah. He should praise Allah for it and relate it to (others)." Another narration adds: Messenger of Allah(ﷺ) said, "He should not report it except to those whom he loves. And if he sees one which he dislikes, then it is from the Satan. He should seek refuge in Allah against its evil and should not mention it to anyone. Then it will not harm him." <b>[Al- Bukhari and Muslim]</b>.
إذا رأى أحدكم رؤيا يحبها، فإنما هي من الله تعالى، فليحمد الله عليها، وليحدث بها -وفى رواية، فلا يحدث بها إلا من يحب- وإذا رأى غير ذلك مما يكره، فإنما هي من الشيطان، فليستعذ من شرها، ولا يذكرها لأحد، فإنها لا تضره
Abu Qatadah (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
The Prophet (ﷺ) said, "A good vision (dream) is from Allah and a bad dream is from the Satan. He who sees something in a dream that he dislikes, should blow thrice on his left, must seek Allah's Refuge from the evil of the Satan (i.e., by saying: A'udhu billahi minash-Shaitanir-Rajim). Then it will not harm him." <b>[Al-Bukhari and Muslim]</b>.
الرؤيا الصالحة -وفى رواية: الرؤيا الحسنة- من الله، والحلم من الشيطان، فمن رأى شيئاً يكره فلينفث عن شماله ثلاثاً، وليتعوذ من الشيطان فإنها لا تضره
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>.
إذا رأى أحدكم الرؤيا يكرهها، فليبصق عن يساره ثلاثاً، وليستعذ بالله من الشيطان ثلاثاً، وليتحول عن جنبه الذي كان عليه
Wathilah bin Al-Asqa' (May Allah be pleased with him) reported:
Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) said, "Of the worst lies are: to claim a false father, or to pretend to have seen what one has not seen (tell a false dream), or to attribute to the Messenger of Allah (ﷺ) what he has not said." <b>[Al-Bukhari]</b>.
إن من أعظم الفرى أن يدعى الرجل إلى غير أبيه، أو يرى عينيه ما لم تر، أو يقول على رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم ما لم يقل
