Explaining that disliked dreams are from Satan

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I dreamed that I was smoking, and my brother was with me, even though neither of us smokes. This dream occurred for three nights and repeated itself. Please advise us, may Allah reward you.

Answer:
When a person sees something he dislikes in a dream, it is from Satan. So if he sees that he is smoking, or that he is drinking intoxicants, or that he is committing unlawful sexual intercourse, or that he is having intercourse with his mother, or that he is having intercourse with his sister, or that he is committing sodomy, or anything similar to that, and he sees these disliked dreams, they are from Satan. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
A good dream is from Allah, and a dream (of evil) is from Satan. So if one of you sees something he dislikes, let him spit dryly to his left three times, and seek refuge in Allah from Satan and from the evil of what he saw, three times, and then let him turn over to his other side; for it will not harm him.الرؤيا الصالحة من الله، والحلم من الشيطان، فإذا رأى أحدكم ما يكره؛ فلينفث عن يساره ثلاث مرات، وليتعوذ بالله من الشيطان، ومن شر ما رأى، ثلاث مرات، ثم لينقلب على جنبه الآخر؛ فإنها لا تضره
.
My advice to you, my brother, and to those like you who see what they dislike, is that when he wakes up, he should spit dryly to his left three times, and seek refuge in Allah from Satan and from the evil of what he saw, three times. Then he should turn over to his other side. It will not harm him, and he should not tell anyone about it. This is the Sunnah. May Allah guide them all.
