“A man came to the Prophet ﷺ when he was delivering a sermon and said: ‘O Messenger of Allah! Last night in my dream I saw my neck being struck and my head fell off, and I chased it, picked it up and put it back.’ The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said: ‘If Satan plays with any one of you in his dreams, he should not tell people about it.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3912)  

أحمد:١٤٣٨٣حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو مُعَاوِيَةَ حَدَّثَنَا الْأَعْمَشُ عَنْ أَبِي سُفْيَانَ عَنْ جَابِرٍ قَالَ

أَتَى النَّبِيَّ ﷺ رَجُلٌ فَقَالَ يَا رَسُولَ اللهِ رَأَيْتُ الْبَارِحَةَ فِيمَا يَرَى النَّائِمُ كَأَنَّ عُنُقِي ضُرِبَتْ فَسَقَطَ رَأْسِي فَاتَّبَعْتُهُ فَأَخَذْتُهُ فَأَعَدْتُهُ مَكَانَهُ فَقَالَ رَسُولُ اللهِ ﷺ إِذَا لَعِبَ الشَّيْطَانُ بِأَحَدِكُمْ فَلَا يُحَدِّثَنَّ بِهِ النَّاسَ
