"الرُّؤيَا الصَّالحِةُ مِنَ الله ﷻ فَإِذَا رَأى أَحَدُكُمْ مَا يُحِبُّ فَلَا يُحَدِّثْ بهَا إلا مَنْ يُحِبُّ، وَإِذَا رأى مَا يَكْرَهُ فَليتْفُل عَنْ يَسَاره ثَلاثًا، وَلْيَتَعَوَّذ باللهِ مِن شَرِّ الشَّيطَان الرَّجيم، وشرِّها، ولا يُحَدِّثْ بها أَحدًا، فإِنها لا تَضُرُّه".

Collected by Bukhārī, Muslim, Aḥmad, Dārimī, Ibn Ḥibbān, Nasāʾī's Kubrá, SuyūṭīI used to see a dream which would make me sick till I heard Abu Qatada saying, "I too, used to see a dream which would make me sick till I heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, "A good dream is from Allah, so if anyone of you saw a dream which he liked, he should not tell it to anybody except to the one whom he loves, and if he saw a dream which he disliked, then he should seek refuge with Allah from its evil and from the evil of Satan, and spit three times (on his left) and should not tell it to anybody, for it will not harm him. "
سَمِعْتُ أَبَا سَلَمَةَ يَقُولُ لَقَدْ كُنْتُ أَرَى الرُّؤْيَا فَتُمْرِضُنِي حَتَّى سَمِعْتُ أَبَا قَتَادَةَ يَقُولُ وَأَنَا كُنْتُ لأَرَى الرُّؤْيَا تُمْرِضُنِي حَتَّى سَمِعْتُ النَّبِيَّ ﷺ يَقُولُ الرُّؤْيَا الْحَسَنَةُ مِنَ اللَّهِ فَإِذَا رَأَى أَحَدُكُمْ مَا يُحِبُّ فَلاَ يُحَدِّثْ بِهِ إِلاَّ مَنْ يُحِبُّ وَإِذَا رَأَى مَا يَكْرَهُ فَلْيَتَعَوَّذْ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ شَرِّهَا وَمِنْ شَرِّ الشَّيْطَانِ وَلْيَتْفِلْ ثَلاَثًا وَلاَ يُحَدِّثْ بِهَا أَحَدًا فَإِنَّهَا لَنْ تَضُرَّهُ
I used to see (such horrible dreams) that I fell ill. I saw Abu Qatada who also said: I used to see dreams which made me sick until I heard Messenger of Allah ﷺ as saying: Good dreams are from Allah, so if any one of you sees which he likes he should not disclose it to one but whom he loves, but if he sees something which he does not like he should spit on his left side thrice and seek refuge with Allah from the mischief of the Satan and its mischief (i.e. of the dream), and he should not relate it to anyone, then it would not harm him.

ذِكْرُ الْأَمْرِ بِالِاسْتِعَاذَةِ بِاللَّهِ جَلَّ وَعَلَا مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ لِمَنْ رَأَى فِي مَنَامِهِ مَا يَكْرَهُ
[Machine] I heard Abu Qatadah saying, "I used to see dreams that would make me sick until I heard the Prophet ﷺ saying, 'Good dreams are from Allah, so if any one of you sees a dream that he likes, he should narrate it to the one whom he loves. And if he sees a dream that he dislikes, he should seek refuge with Allah from its evil and should not mention it to anyone, for it will not harm him.'"

I heard the Messenger of Allah (May peace be upon him) say: A good vision comes from Allah and a dream (hulm) from the devil, so when one of you sees what he dislikes, he must spit on his left (three times), and seek refuge in Allah from its evil. It will then not harm him. (Using translation from Abū Dāʾūd 5021)
وَقَالَ سَمِعْتُ رَسُولَ اللهِ ﷺ يَقُولُ «الرُّؤْيَا فِي حَدِيثِ الْحَارِثِ الصَّالِحَةُ مِنَ اللهِ وَالْحُلُمُ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ فَإِذَا رَأَى أَحَدُكُمُ الشَّيْءَ يَكْرَهُهُ فَلْيَنْفِثْ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ إِذَا اسْتَيْقَظَ وَلْيَتَعَوَّذْ مِنْ شَرَّهَا فَإِنَّهَا لَنْ تَضُرَّهُ إِنْ شَاءَ اللهُ»

عَنْ رَسُولِ اللهِ ﷺ قَالَ «الرُّؤْيَا مِنَ اللهِ وَالْحِلْمُ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ فَإِذَا رَأَى أَحَدُكُمْ شَيْئًا يَكْرَهُهُ فَلْيَنْفِثْ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ ثَلَاثَ مَرَّاتٍ وَلْيَسْتَعِذْ بِاللهِ مِنْ شَرِّهَا فَإِنَّهَا لَا تَضُرُّهُ»
[Machine] Narrated by the Prophet ﷺ, he said, "A good dream is a glad tidings from Allah, while a bad dream is from Satan. So if anyone of you sees a bad dream which he dislikes, then he should spit on his left side three times and seek refuge in Allah from Satan, for it will not harm him." Abu Salamah said, "I used to see dreams that would make me sick, till I heard Abu Qatadah talking about the Rukyah (incantation). [Sahih al-Bukhari]
عَنِ النَّبِيِّ ﷺ قَالَ «الرُّؤْيَا الصَّالِحَةُ بُشْرَى مِنَ اللهِ وَالْحُلُمُ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ فَإِذَا حَلَمَ أَحَدُكُمْ حُلُمًا يَكْرَهُهُ فَلْيَتْفُلْ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ ثَلَاثًا وَلْيَتَعَوَّذْ بِاللهِ مِنَ الشَّيْطَانِ فَإِنَّهَا لَا تَضُرُّهُ» قَالَ أَبُو سَلَمَةَ إِنْ كَانَتِ الرُّؤْيَا لَتُضْجِعُنِي حَتَّى سَمِعْتُ حَدِيثَ أَبِي قَتَادَةَ

The Prophet ﷺ said, "If anyone of you sees a dream that he likes, then it is from Allah, and he should thank Allah for it and narrate it to others; but if he sees something else, i.e., a dream that he dislikes, then it is from Satan, and he should seek refuge with Allah from its evil, and he should not mention it to anybody, for it will not harm him." (Using translation from Bukhārī 6985)
"إِذَا رأى أحدُكُمْ رُؤْيا يُحِبُّها فإِنَّما هِيَ مِنَ اللهِ فليحْمد اللهَ عليها وليُحدثْ بها، وإذا رأى غيرَ ذَلَكَ مِما يَكْرَهُ فإِنَّما هِيَ من الشَّيطَان؛ فليستعذْ باللهِ منْ شرِّها ولا يَذْكرْها لأحَد؛ فَإِنَّها لا تضرُّه".
"الرُّؤيَا الصَّالِحَةُ مِنَ الله، وَالحُلْمُ مِنْ الشَّيطَان. فَإِذَا رَأى أَحَدُكُمْ شَيئًا يَكْرَهه فَليَنْفُثْ حِينَ يَسْتَيقِظ عَنْ يَسَارِه ثَلَاثًا وليتعَوَّذ بالله مِنْ شَرِّهَا فَإِنَّها لَا تَضُرُّه".
