BENEFIT 94: Three reasons why we should ask for good dreams 1⃣. Good dreams are a glad tiding: Abū Hurairah radhiyallāhu 'anhu reported that Allāh's Messenger (ﷺ) said: “Dreams are of three types: one good dream which is a form of glad tiding from Allāh; the evil dream which causes pain is from Shaytaan; and the third one is a suggestion of one's own mind...” [Muslim 2263] 2⃣. It was a practice of the salaf to ask for good dreams: Ai'sha radhiyallahu 'anha would supplicate before going to sleep saying: ((اللَّهُمَّ إِنِّي أسألُكَ رُؤْيا صَالِحَةً، صَادِقَةً غَيْرَ كاذِبَةٍ، نافِعَةً غَيْرَ ضَارَّةٍ)) "O Allah, I ask You for a good dream; one that is true and not false; one which is beneficial and not harmful." [Reported by An-Nawawi in Adhkaar; Al-hafidh Ibn Hajar stated in 'Nataa'ij Al-Afkaar' that it is 'Sahih' to A'isha (Mawqoof)] 3⃣. Seeing a good dream is an indication of one's righteousness: Ibn 'Umar radhiyallahu 'anhu narrated: "In the lifetime of the Prophet (ﷺ) whosoever saw a dream would narrate it to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). I had a wish of seeing a dream to narrate it to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ) I was a grown up boy and used to sleep in the Mosque in the lifetime of the Prophet. I saw in the dream that two angels caught hold of me and took me to the Fire which was built all round like a built well and had two poles in it and the people in it were known to me. I started saying, "I seek refuge with Allah from the Fire." Then I met another angel who told me not to be afraid. I narrated the dream to Hafsa who told it to Allah's Messenger (ﷺ). The Prophet said, "Abdullah is a good man. I wish he prayed Tahajjud." After that `Abdullah (Ibn Umar) used to sleep but a little at night." [Reported by Bukhari & Muslim] Ibn Hajar commented in Fat-hul Bari, saying: "his saying, 'I had a wish of seeing a dream,' and in another report he (Ibn 'Umar) added: "فقلت في نفسي: لو كان فيك خير لرأيت مثل ما يرى هؤلاء" 'I said to myself, if there was any good in you, you would have also seen what these people see,' (Ibn Hajar said) what is taken from this is, righteous dreams indicate the goodness of those who see them." ▪️Benefited from Sheikh Abu Bilal hafidhahullah, Hami - Yemen
