Visions in Dream and matters relating to them
Jabir (May Allah be pleased with him) reported: Messenger of Allah (PBUH) said, "When one of you sees a bad dream let him blow three times on his left, seek refuge in Allah from the Satan three times (i.e., by saying: A`udhu billahi minash-Shaitanir-Rajim) and change the side on which he was lying."[Muslim].


Commentary:
This Hadith makes an addition to the preceding ones, that is, on seeing a bad dream, one should change his side. If he is lying on his right side, he should turn to the left, and vice versa. By this precaution Allah will turn a bad dream into a good one by His leave.

باب الرؤيا وما يتعلق بها
وعن جابر رضي الله عنه عن رسول الله صَلّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وسَلَّم قال : « إذَا رَأى أحَدُكُم الرُّؤيا يَكْرَهُها فلْيبصُقْ عَن يَسَارِهِ ثَلاَثاً ، وْليَسْتَعِذْ بالله مِنَ الشَّيَطانِ ثَلاثاَ ، وليَتَحوَّل عَنْ جَنْبِهِ الذي كان عليه » رواه مسلم .
