ذِكْرُ الْفَصْلِ بَيْنَ الرُّؤْيَا الَّتِي هِيَ مِنْ أَجْزَاءِ النُّبُوَّةِ، وَبَيْنَ الرُّؤْيَا الَّتِي لَا تَكُونُ كَذَلِكَ

“Dreams are of three types: Some are terrifying things from Satan, aimed at causing grief to the son of Adam; some are things that a person is concerned with when he is awake, so he sees them in his dreams; and some are a part of the forty-six parts of prophecy.” He said: “I said to him: ‘Did you hear this from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ?’ He said: ‘Yes, I heard it from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ, I heard it from the Messenger of Allah ﷺ.’” (Using translation from Ibn Mājah 3907)

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ «الرُّؤْيَا ثَلَاثَةٌ مِنْهَا تَهْوِيلٌ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ لِيُحْزِنَ ابْنَ آدَمَ وَمِنْهَا مَا يَهُمُّ بِهِ الرَّجُلُ فِي يَقَظَتِهِ فَرَآهُ فِي مَنَامِهِ وَمِنْهَا جُزْءٌ مِنْ سِتَّةٍ وَأَرْبَعِينَ جُزْءًا مِنَ النُّبُوَّةِ» فَقُلْتُ لَهُ أَنْتَ سَمِعْتَهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ؟ قَالَ أَنَا سَمِعْتُهُ مِنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ «

[Machine] "From the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ , he said: Dreams are of three kinds. One type is a result of Satan's whispering to sadden the son of Adam. Another type is something that a person is concerned about while awake but sees it in his sleep. And some dreams are a part of the forty-six parts of prophethood. So, I asked him, 'Did you hear about this from the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ ?' He said, 'I heard it from the Messenger of Allah, ﷺ .'"

"الرُّؤيَا ثَلَاثَة: مِنْهَا (أَهَاويلُ) مِنَ الشَّيطَان لِيَحْزُنَ ابْنَ آدَمَ، وَمِنْهَا مَا يَهُم بِهِ الرَّجُلُ في يَقَظَتِهِ فَيَرَاهُ في مَنَامهِ، وَمِنْهَا جُزْءٌ مِنْ سِتَّة وَأَرْبَعيِنَ جُزءًا مِنَ النُّبُوَّة".
