Muwatta Malik: Chapter 52

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ishaq ibn Abdullah ibn Abi
Talha al-Ansari from Anas ibn Malik that the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "The good dream of a man
who is salih is a forty-sixth part of prophecy."

Yahya
related the like of that to me from Malik from Abu'z-Zinad from al-
Araj from Abu Hurayra from the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him
and grant him peace.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Ishaq ibn Abdullah ibn Abi
Talha from Zufar ibn Sasaca from his father from Abu Hurayra that when
the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, left
the morning prayer, he would say, "Has any of you had a dream last
night? All that will remain of prophecy after me will be the true
dream ."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Zayd ibn Aslam from Ata ibn
Yasar that the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, said, "All that will be left of prophecy after me are the
mubashshirat." They said, "What are the mubashshirat, Messenger of
Allah?" He said, "The true dream which a man who is salih sees - or
which is shown to him - is a forty-sixth part of prophecy."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Yahya ibn Said that Abu
Salama ibn Abd ar-Rahman said, "I heard Abu Qatada ibn Ribiyy say that
he heard the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him
peace, say, 'The good dream is from Allah, and the bad dream is from
shaytan. When you see what you dislike, spit to your left side three
times when you wake up, and seek refuge with Allah from its evil. It
will not harm you then, Allah willing.' " Abu Salama said, "I would
see dreams which weighed on me more heavily than a mountain. When I
heard this hadith, I was not concerned about it."

Yahya related to me from Malik from Hisham ibn Urwa that his
father said about this ayat, "You have good news in the life of this
world and the next world," (Sura 10 ayat 64), that it was the good
dream which the man who was salih saw or which was shown to him.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Musa ibn Maysara from Said
ibn Abi Hind from Abu Musa al-Ashari that the Messenger of Allah, may
Allah bless him and grant him peace, said, "Whoever plays games of
dice has disobeyed Allah and His Messenger. "

Yahya related
to me from Malik from Alqama from his mother that A'isha, the wife of
the Prophet, may Allah bless him and grant him peace, heard that the
people who lived in a room in her house had some dice. She sent a
message to them, "If you do not remove them, I will remove you from my
house," and she reproached them for it.

Yahya related to me from Malik from Nafi from Abdullah ibn Umar
that when he found one of his family playing dice he beat him and
destroyed the dice.

Yahya said that he heard Malik say,
"There is no good in chess, and he disapproved of it." Yahya said, "I
heard him disapprove of playing it and other worthless games. He
recited this ayat, 'What is there after the truth except going the
wrong way.' " (Sura l0 ayat 32).
