The dream of a believing person
Al-Kāfi|Volume 8|Book 1|Chapter 529
عِدَّةٌ مِنْ أَصْحَابِنَا عَنْ سَهْلِ بْنِ زِيَادٍ وَ عَلِيُّ بْنُ إِبْرَاهِيمَ عَنْ أَبِيهِ جَمِيعاً عَنِ ابْنِ مَحْبُوبٍ عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ غَالِبٍ عَنْ جَابِرِ بْنِ يَزِيدَ عَنْ أَبِي جَعْفَرٍ (عليه السلام) أَنَّ رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَانَ يَقُولُ إِنَّ رُؤْيَا الْمُؤْمِنِ تُرِفُّ بَيْنَ السَّمَاءِ وَ الْأَرْضِ عَلَى رَأْسِ صَاحِبِهَا حَتَّى يُعَبِّرَهَا لِنَفْسِهِ أَوْ يُعَبِّرَهَا لَهُ مِثْلُهُ فَإِذَا عُبِّرَتْ لَزِمَتِ الْأَرْضَ فَلَا تَقُصُّوا رُؤْيَاكُمْ إِلَّا عَلَى مَنْ يَعْقِلُ.
529. A number of our companions, from Sahl Bin Ziyad and Ali Bin Ibrahim, from his father together, from Ibn Mahboub, from Abdullah Bin Ghalib, from Jabir Bin Yazeed, who has narrated the following: Abu Ja’far عليه الصلاة والسلام said that the Rasool Allah صلى الله عليه وعلى آله وسلم had said: ‘The dream of the Believer floats in between the sky and the earth over the head of its dreamer until he interprets it for himself, or it is interpreted for him by someone like him. So when it gets interpreted, it comes to the ground. So do not narrate your dreams except to the one who understand’.
