البخاري:٣٢٩٢ – حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو الْمُغِيرَةِ حَدَّثَنَا الأَوْزَاعِيُّ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي يَحْيَى عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ

البخاري:٦٩٨٦ – حَدَّثَنَا مُسَدَّدٌ حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ اللَّهِ بْنُ يَحْيَى بْنِ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ وَأَثْنَى عَلَيْهِ خَيْرًا لَقِيتُهُ بِالْيَمَامَةِ عَنْ أَبِيهِ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو سَلَمَةَ عَنْ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ

[Machine] The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said, "Righteous dreams are from Allah, and nightmares are from Satan. So, if anyone of you has a nightmare that he fears, then let him spit to his left and seek refuge in Allah from Satan, as it will not harm him." Yahya said, "Abu Salama informed me and said, 'I used to have a dream that I feared until it would make me lie down. So, I met Abu Qatadah and he informed me of this.'"  

الكبرى للنسائي:١٠٦٦٨ – أَخْبَرَنَا مَحْمُودُ بْنُ خَالِدٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا الْوَلِيدُ قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا أَبُو عَمْرٍو قَالَ حَدَّثَنَا يَحْيَى بْنُ أَبِي كَثِيرٍ قَالَ حَدَّثَنِي عَبْدُ اللهِ بْنُ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «الرُّؤْيَا الصَّالِحَةُ مِنَ اللهِ وَالْحُلُمُ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ فَإِذَا حَلَمَ أَحَدُكُمْ حُلُمًا يَخَافُهُ فَلْيَبْصُقْ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ وَلْيَتَعَوَّذْ بِاللهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ فَإِنَّهَا لَا تَضُرُّهُ» قَالَ يَحْيَى فَحَدَّثَنِي أَبُو سَلَمَةَ قَالَ إِنْ كُنْتُ لَأَحْلُمُ الْحُلُمَ أَخَافُهُ حَتَّى يُضْجِعَنِي فَلَقِيتُ أَبَا قَتَادَةَ فَحَدَّثَنِي بِهَذَا
