Chapter: No One Should Speak Of How The Shaitan Toyed With Him In His Sleep
Jabir reported Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) as saying: There came to him (the Holy Prophet) a desert Arab and said: I saw in a dream that I had been beheaded and I had been following it (the severed head). Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) reprimanded him saying: Do not inform about the vain sporting of devil with you during the night.
Jabir reported that there came to Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) a desert Arab and said: Allah's Messenger, I saw in the state of sleep as if my head had been cut off and I had been moving on haltingly after it. Thereupon Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) said to that desert Arab: Do not narrate to the people the vain sporting of satan with you in your sleep and (the narrator) also said: I heard Allah's Messenger ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) in his subsequent address: None amongst you should narrate the vain sporting of devil with him in the dream.
Jabir reported that a person came to Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) and said: Allah's Messenger, I have seen in the state of sleep as if my head had been cut off. Thereupon Allah's Apostle ( صلی اللہ علیہ وسلم ) laughed and said: When the satan plays with any one of you in the state of sleep, do not mention it to the people; and in the hadith transmitted by Abu Bakr (the words are): If one of you is played with, and he did not make any mention of the word: Satan.
