Why did the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) not confirm the disliked dream?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : If we say, O Shaykh, regarding the hadith of Abu Bakr’s statement that he distributed [the wealth], why did he not confirm that the intended meaning was [to confirm] the dream?
The Shaykh : This indicates what we said; it may not be good for a person to confirm a dream with the intention [of confirming it].
The questioner : It becomes a path.
The Shaykh : Yes, it is not needed.
The questioner : They are all abundant.
The Shaykh : No, I do not need to say that if he knew there was harm in it, there might be something disliked in this dream, and if he interpreted it, it would come to pass, so the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not inform [them] of the error.
