Aḥmad ibn Abī ʿUbayd Allāh al-Sulaymī al-Baṣrī narrated to us: Yazīd ibn Zurayʿ narrated to us; Saʿīd narrated to us, from Qatādah, from Muḥammad ibn Sīrīn, from Abū Hurayrah, who said that the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said: 'Visions are of three kinds: a true vision, a vision in which a person speaks to himself, and a vision that grieves one, from Satan. Whoever sees something he dislikes should get up and pray.' He would also say: 'Fetters please me, but I dislike an iron collar; fetters signify steadfastness in religion.' And he would say: 'Whoever sees me [in a dream] has truly seen me, for Satan cannot take my form.' And he would say: 'A vision should be related only to a scholar or a sincere adviser.' Reports on this subject are also related from Anas, Abū Bakrah, Umm al-ʿAlāʾ, Ibn ʿUmar, ʿĀʾishah, Abū Mūsā, Jābir, Abū Saʿīd, Ibn ʿAbbās, and ʿAbdullāh ibn ʿAmr. Abū ʿĪsā said: 'This hadith is ḥasan ṣaḥīḥ.'
