Did the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) question, “Who among you has seen a dream,” was it something he asked on a regular basis?

The questioner:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this questioner says: If a dream is such that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to frequently ask his Companions, “Who among you has seen a dream,” did he take an interest in interpreting them?
The Shaykh:
No, it was not a regular practice. He said it on that occasion, in the hadith of al-Thufl. He said it once on that occasion; he did not say it every morning, asking, “Who among you has seen a dream?”
The questioner:
May Allah keep you safe. In the rest of his question, he says: How can this knowledge be allowed to be lost and left to the superstitious? And who among the people of the Sunnah is doing this now?
The Shaykh:
Allah knows best. I do not know of anyone who claims to be the one to whom people turn for the interpretation of dreams. But ask someone in whom you have confidence regarding his knowledge and his sincerity.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, and this questioner asks: Is the interpretation…
The Shaykh:
…of dreams a science that is studied and known? This is something Allah grants to some of His servants and not to others. Yes.
