Hadith on Nightmares: Refuge in Allah from bad dreams

Jabir reported: The Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him, said, “If one of you sees a dream he dislikes, let him blow on his left side three times and seek refuge in Allah from Satan three times. Let him turn to the other side from which he was sleeping.”

عَنْ جَابِرٍعَنْ رَسُولِ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ أَنَّهُ قَالَ إِذَا رَأَى أَحَدُكُمْ الرُّؤْيَا يَكْرَهُهَا فَلْيَبْصُقْ عَنْ يَسَارِهِ ثَلَاثًا وَلْيَسْتَعِذْ بِاللَّهِ مِنْ الشَّيْطَانِ ثَلَاثًا وَلْيَتَحَوَّلْ عَنْ جَنْبِهِ الَّذِي كَانَ عَلَيْهِ
