The dream results in what it is interpreted to be

محمد بن يحيى، عن أحمد بن محمد بن عيسى، عن معمر بن خلاد قال: سمعت أبا الحسن (عليه السلام) يقول: ربما رأيت الرؤيا فأعبرها والرؤيا على ما تعبر (5
(5) أي تقع مطابقة لما عبرت به. (آت

Muhammad b. Yahya, from Ahmad b. Muhammad b. Isa, from Mu'mar b. Khallad, who said: I heard aba al Hasan (as) say: "Sometimes I see a dream, then interpret it. The dream results in what it is interpreted to be."

عنه، عن أحمد بن محمد، عن ابن فضال، عن الحسن بن جهم قال: سمعت أبا الحسن (عليه السلام) يقول: الرؤيا على ما تعبر، فقلت له: إن بعض أصحابنا روى أن رؤيا الملك كانت أضغاث أحلام، فقال أبو الحسن (عليه السلام): إن امرأة رأت على عهد الرسول (صلى الله عليه وآله) أن جذع بيتها قد انكسر فأتت رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله) فقصت عليه الرؤيا فقال لها النبي (صلى الله عليه وآله):
يقدم زوجك ويأتي وهو صالح، وقد كان زوجها غائبا فقدم كما قال النبي (صلى الله عليه وآله) ثم غاب عنها زوجها غيبة أخرى فرأت في المنام كان جذع بيتها قد انكسر فأتت النبي (صلى الله عليه وآله) فقصت عليه الرؤيا فقال لها: يقدم زوجك ويأتي صالحا فقدم على ما قال، ثم غاب زوجها ثالثة فرأت في منامها أن جذع بيتها قد انكسر فلقيت رجلا أعسر فقصت عليه الرؤيا فقال لها الرجل السوء: يموت زوجك، قال فبلغ [ذلك] النبي (صلى الله عليه وآله) فقال: ألا كان عبر لها خيرا
قوله:" كانت أضغاث أحلام"
 (1) أي لم تكن لها حقيقة، و إنما وقعت كذلك لتعبير يوسف عليه السلام، و إنما أورد الراوي تلك الرواية تأييدا لما ذكره عليه السلام

قوله عليه السلام:" رجلا أعسر"
و المراد هنا الشؤم أو من يعمل باليسار فإنه أيضا مشوم و يظهر من روايات المخالفين إن هذا الأعسر كان أبا بكر و لعله عليه السلام لم يصرح باسمه تقية.
قال في النهاية: فيه امرأة أتت النبي صلى الله عليه و آله فقالت رأيت كان جائز بيتي انكسر فقال: يرد الله غائبك فرجع زوجها ثم غاب فرأت مثل ذلك فأتت النبي صلى الله عليه و آله فلم تجده و وجدت أبا بكر فأخبرته، فقال: يموت زوجك، فذكرت ذلك لرسول الله صلى الله عليه و آله فقال هل قصصتها على أحد؟ قالت: نعم، قال: هو كما قيل لك الجائز: الخشبة التي توضع عليها أطراف العوارض في سقف البيت

From him, from Ahmad b. Muhammad, from ibn Fudal, from al Hasan b. Jahm, who said: I heard aba al Hasan (as) say: "The dream results in what it is interpreted to be." So I said to him: " (Exactly!) In fact some of our companions also report that the dream of the king (in Surah al Yusuf) was a "confused" dream (that is, it did not have a reality of its own, but simply resulted in what it was interpreted to be by prophet Yusuf)." Imam (as) said: "Indeed, during the Prophet (pbuh)'s period, a woman whose husband was traveling, saw a dream that the pillar of her home had collapsed. So she approached the Prophet (pbuh) and told him her dream. So the Prophet (pbuh) told her that your husband would return safely, and her husband did return as foretold by the Prophet (pbuh). Then her husband went on a travel again, and the woman had the same dream (pillar of her home collapsing). She told the Prophet(pbuh) and he gave her the same interpretation as previously. Her husband returned safely as foretold by the Prophet (pbuh). Her husband then traveled again the third time, and she had the same dream. Unfortunately she met a jinxed/evil man and told him the dream. The evil man said: "Your husband will die." When the news reached the Prophet (pbuh), he lamented: "Couldn't he have done a good interpretation for her?".

[Translator's note: In some narrations of the mukhalifeen, it has been reported that the evil man who gave the woman the bad interpretation was Abu Bakr. Baqir Majlisi has opined that the Imam (as) may not have named him due to taqiyyah.

However, as explained in a previous post, it is not allowed to accept those ahadith of the mukhalifeen which badmouth the enemies of ahlulbait (as) by name when the content is exclusive to the narrations of the mukhalifeen (i.e. when the same ahadith are not found in our shia imami sources). But, this does not in anyway mean that the shia ahadith which criticise/curse those enemies of the ahlulbait (as) which are held in high regard by the mukhalifeen, are to be rejected. The shia imami ahadith with such content are accepted. Only the ahadith of the mukhalifeen badmouthing the enemies of ahlulbait by name, which are not found in our shia sources, are to be rejected.

Therefore, in this case, as our shia sources do not name that evil man, hence it can not be accepted that the man was Abu Bakr. And even if the Imam (as), or the narrator, skipped the name due to taqiyyah, we also must follow suit as taqiyyah is wajib during ghaybah.]

عدة من أصحابنا، عن سهل بن زياد، وعلي بن إبراهيم، عن أبيه، [جميعا]، عن ابن محبوب، عن عبد الله بن غالب، عن جابر بن يزيد، عن أبي جعفر (عليه السلام) أن رسول الله كان يقول: إن رؤيا المؤمن ترف بين السماء والأرض على رأس صاحبها حتى يعبرها لنفسه أو يعبرها له مثله فإذا عبرت لزمت الأرض فلا تقصوا رؤياكم إلا على من يعقل

A number of our companions, from Sahl b. Ziad, and Ali b. Ibrahim, from his father, both from ibn Mahboob, from Abdullah b. Ghalib, from Jabir b. Yazid, from abi Ja'far (as) that the Prophet (pbuh) would say: "Indeed the dream of the momin drifts between the sky and the Earth, upon the head of its dreamer, until he interprets it himself or one of his like interprets it for him. So when it has been interpreted, it descends to the Earth (i.e. comes into effect), so do not recount your dream to anyone but one who is intelligent."

محمد بن يحيى، عن أحمد بن محمد، عن محمد بن خالد، عن القاسم بن عروة، عن أبي بصير، عن أبي عبد الله (عليه السلام) قال: قال رسول الله (صلى الله عليه وآله): الرؤيا لا تقص إلا على مؤمن خلا من الحسد والبغي
قوله صلى الله عليه و آله:" خلا من الحسد و البغي"
 (4) أي ليعبرها بخير


Muhammad b. Yahya, from Ahmad b. Muhammad, from Muhammad b. Khalid, from al Qasim b. Urwah, from abi Baseer, from abi Abdillah who said: The Prophet (pbuh) said: "Do not recount your dream to anyone but a momin who does not hold jealousy or malice (so that he may interpret it in a good way)."

  4. Salamalaikum brothers. Don't tell it to women. Better leave them ignorant. It so happened many times that my wife dreamed and asked me of the interpretation and I said I don't know and she self interpreted it and they became true. The other day she dreamt about me being with another female. And before she interprets herself I am gonna interpret it for her. If I do a mutah and she comes to know ; the first thing she would do is breakup. And she is already had dreams of her own marriage. Lol but this is a serious issue and might have a connection. Not that I do not want complete emaan; I just don't want her to do kufr by rejecting mutah or getting me to swear against an invalid promise. Gotto keep them ignorant or they will go to hell. I request again so don't make it common knowledge and many brothers might benefit from monstrous dreaming women.
