“If anyone of you has a bad dream, he should not tell people about how Satan played with him in his dream.”  

ابن ماجة:٣٩١٣حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ رُمْحٍ أَنْبَأَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ ﷺ قَالَ إِذَا حَلَمَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلاَ يُخْبِرِ النَّاسَ بِتَلَعُّبِ الشَّيْطَانِ بِهِ فِي الْمَنَامِ

He who saw me in sleep in fact saw me, for it is not possible for the satan to appear in my form; and he also said: When any one of you sees a hulm he should not inform anyone, for it is a sort of vain sport of devil in the state of sleep. (Using translation from Muslim 2268a)  

أحمد:١٤٧٧٩حَدَّثَنَا حُجَيْنٌ وَيُونُسُ قَالَا حَدَّثَنَا اللَّيْثُ بْنُ سَعْدٍ عَنْ أَبِي الزُّبَيْرِ عَنْ جَابِرٍ

أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ مَنْ رَآنِي فِي النَّوْمِ فَقَدْرَآنِي إِنَّهُ لَا يَنْبَغِي لِلشَّيْطَانِ أَنْ يَتَمَثَّلَ فِي صُورَتِي وَقَالَ إِذَا حَلَمَ أَحَدُكُمْ فَلَا يُخْبِرَنَّ النَّاسَ بِتَلَعُّبِ الشَّيْطَانِ بِهِ فِي الْمَنَامِ
